Nuclear medicine?
samy replied to anonymouspls's topic in Diagnostics, Imaging, and Therapeutics Residencies
NM is rather "big" in Quebec. Nucleists got their hands on PET/CT and for historical reasons, a lot of nuclear tests are being done where a non-nuclear test would be done outside of Quebec. For example, a lot of Quebc trained clinicians order Bone & Gallium scans for bone infections where an MRI would be ordered elsewhere.... -

Eating in clerkship
samy replied to Egg_McMuffin's topic in Clerkship Rotations and Electives (Med 3 and 4)
All students, residents, fellows and attendings should deserve at least 15 minutes to take some time off and/or eat something every 4 to 6 hours. Even on ICU or a busy consultation service or surgical service, there is no excuse. -

You need to be certified in the specialty you moonlight in. PGY4-5-6 in Internal Medicine subspecialties hold a specialty certification in Internal Medicine.

Do Canadian ID doctors make less money like they do in America?
samy replied to rrcc's topic in Primary Care Residencies
Depends of the province. In Quebec, most make more than $400k mostly because of dual ID - Medical Microbiology certification and additional lab stipend income. -
Quebec resident COVID pay rise/woes
samy replied to Metzthatcut's topic in General Resident Physician Discussions
We all get 4% (suppose to be retroactive from March I believe). If you work on a COVID unit, you should get an additional 4%. Got an extra 100$ this week. ; it's about 25$ every week. -

I agree with the job market being quite good at the moment. You can PM me your questions if you want. -

ID vs. MedMicro
samy replied to thesupreme's topic in Diagnostics, Imaging, and Therapeutics Residencies
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).
