Total Gunner Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Found this on the U of T site and just wanted to know if the 2 weeks of electives mentioned here in 3rd year are ADDITIONAL to the electives in year 4 or if you do 2 weeks in year 3 you must do 2 less in year 4? Any pros and cons of doing it in 3rd year? I know they have been cancelled for this year, but I would like to know what the initial plan was. Also, it says on the site that Y4 has 15 weeks of electives only 13 of which are actual electives and 2 weeks is for vacations. Is it possible to do an elective in those two weeks or make them productive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughLuck Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 There's a total of 16 elective weeks in the program. Two of those weeks can be used in a time allocated in third year, around may-june. Next year will be the first year that it will actually happen so nobody knows if it actually does what they hope it'll do - career exploration. I personally think it's a low risk high reward type of opportunity, as you get a chance to potentially work in the speciality you are interested in and figure out if you like it or not. That can help support a decision to change electives for the September-December period which are the bulk of your prep for carms. You can also takes those weeks off, as uoft asks for a minimum of 13 out of the 16 weeks to be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
