divinecomedy Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi all! I'm at a US medical school hoping to match back to Canada for family med. I've noticed that most Canadian med schools have 1~2 weeks of required anesthesiology rotation within their curriculum, but my institution doesn't. Would not having anesthesiology as part of our curriculum hurt me in CARMs, or should I think about pursuing an elective somewhere to make up the curriculum difference? Our only anesthesiology elective is one month long, and I don't think I necessarily need a month of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 It would only hurt you in my view if you want this field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
