GrouchoMarx Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Id go id because it gives you gim training to fall back on and allows you to get out of the lab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah1234 Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Are there even jobs for med micro? I swear I've only met one resident training in it and even they had no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey D. Luffy Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Actually med micro residency gives you an independent IM license as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just browsing around medical microbiology program descriptions, most seem to have only 2 years of clinical training (1 year general, 1 year ID).

My mistake, looked into it again and it's actually Medical Biochemistry (not Medical Microbiology) residency that gives you GIM license! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it had been collapsed into Pathology. (Medical Biochemistry) You might be right, I can no longer find it under the CaRMS programs listing. It definitely used to be a 5 year direct entry program that resulted in both an IM and medical biochemistry certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmen Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I looked at these programs not too long ago, and the ones I was checking out (not sure which) offered 2 years of IM + 3 years of medical microbiology which ended up giving you a medical microbiology certification only, but they allowed you to do 3 years of IM + 3 years of medical microbiology which ended up giving you a certification in medical microbiology + GIM + ID.

samy Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 We are moving more and more away from Medical Microbiology alone as a medical specialty. It is still quite a valuable specialty, but it should really be integrated into clinical medicine (ID). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
