Am I a US or Canadian applicant?
ArchEnemy replied to Redface's topic in Non-Traditional Applicants/Grad Students
Are you a Canadian citizen with US green card? If so, you are considered a USMD/CMG by both American and Canadian schools (i.e. Non-IMG). If you want to do residency in the US, it is usually recommended that you do your medical school in the US as well, as it makes it easier to make connections for the Match. -
Yes you can always apply to the US after you have already completed a Canadian Residency. However, there is the huge opportunity cost of course. If the specialty is competitive in the US as well, it might be worthwhile considering not backing up (i.e. going unmatched), then do a "research fellowship" year and write your Step 1 too. In the US, Step 1 scores are king.

In several countries, the physician is both the prescriber and dispenser. So imagine if physicians were allowed to dispense medications from their offices, I wonder how would pharmacists and pharmacy chains feel about that?
-
Over the years, I have noticed that this is becoming a problem in Canada too, although not as rampant for the reasons mentioned above. I believe a physician cannot bill for the work of a PA unless they physically lay eyes on the patient themselves. NPs, on the other hand, do not need to be supervised by a physician. I have seen large Telehealth Organizations take advantage of this.

Controversy over new FM Structured LOR Rubric
ArchEnemy replied to ana_safavi's topic in CaRMS and CaRMS applications
To say that the process is entirely subjective is also untrue. There are many ways other than grades to show abilities objectively, such as research productivity, awards, or even leadership positions while in med school.- 18 replies

PAs working in radiology
ArchEnemy replied to W0lfgang's topic in Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner Discussions
Thanks for bringing that to my attention. This article was discussed quite extensively on **DELETED** when first published. Glad to hear that it has since been retracted. I wonder how it got through the peer review process in the first place. Very similar to the article published in Vascular Surgery on #medkini. -

PAs working in radiology
ArchEnemy replied to W0lfgang's topic in Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner Discussions
https://www.diagnosticimaging.com/view/radiology-extenders-outperform-radiology-residents-with-chest-x-ray-interpretations I read this article the other day and found it very interesting. Wondering if it is mostly matter of the total number of clinical hours (senior residents > experienced techs > junior residents)? -

Line of Credit LOC for down payment
ArchEnemy replied to James Nystead's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
CMHC Mortgage loan prevents you from borrowing for your down payment, yet you're borrowing from LOC for your down payment? If i were in your financial position, I would not buy anything (unless your parents can help you out with the down payment).
