      A new medical school coming to Ontario! (in addition to TMU Medical School scheduled to open in Sept. 2025)

      By indefatigable · Posted

      I can't think of any other profession where experienced practitioners are quitting and the solution is somehow to try to coax more graduates into comprehensive FM in part by building more med schools.  Yet another "I am quitting FM in Ontario" article.. in this case a 20 year seasoned primary care practitioner.   https://torontolife.com/city/family-doctor-clinic-closing-burnout-inflation/ Granted she was working in a HCOL location (Mississauga), although it's close to where these new med schools are being built, but some of the highlights are "When I was first building my practice, I made about $90,000 per year, after all our office expenses were accounted for. In 2022, that figure was about $142,000".   When the average medical student debt is somewhere around 150-200K, Ontario FM in HCOL locations is becoming unsustainable.  Like MedicineLCS noted, this is all about show and not about substance - it sounds good for other universities to have med schools but does almost nothing to fix the underlying issues.  What's the point in building more med schools if you're facing accelerating losses?  Any rational strategy would involved both retention as well as recruitment.   This makes me think of health care in Ontario .

      very worried about the samps

      By indefatigable · Posted

      At the moment, the most important thing is to focus on the road ahead of you - especially the soos.  Your thoughts and worries won't change your results on the samps but further practice and studying may help with the soos. It may help your anxiety to acknowledge the uncertainty and also spend a little time thinking of the rudiments of a contingency plan.  If it's helpful, even graduates who were unsuccessful on any part of the exam were able to find work settings and successfully retake any part of the CFPC exam whether it be the soo or samp.  The CFPC exams are run twice a year so any setback should only be temporary.  The CFPC also provides detailed feedback in the case of an unsuccessful attempt.  However, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying or planning for the worse as the results are uncertain and you still have important soos in front of you.

      By ZackMed · Posted

      Ca depend de plusieurs choses. Quelques avantages clairs et net sont la proximité avec le personnel enseignant et la proximité des lieux (minime déplacements). Le reste depend de plusieurs choses dont : - couts reliés - distance avec proches/familles - divertissement, vie social - proximité avec chercheurs, spécialistes - etc..

      Admission Opto UdeM 2024

      By grenouille19 · Posted

      Salut! J'ai été convoqué à une entrevue pour une admission en automne 2024. J'écris dans ce thread en espérant qu'une personne qui a déjà été admise en opto puisse voir mon commentaire. En faite je ne suis pas trop sur de savoir comment me préparer à l'entrevue, donc je me demande si quelqu'un pourrait donner des conseils générales qui l'ont aidé afin de bien réussir l'entrevue.  Merci!!
