  1. I missed the double negative and was about to say you must not know many To elaborate in IM we are eligible for independent practice after we finish PGY4. So PGY 5 (and 6) years you are free to work as an internist, in any subspecialty residency.
  2. you guys are best off asking the residents in the year above you. and also be aware a recent batch of residents was punished because a disgruntled resident leaked a shared Dropbox resource which had many identifiable user names. so be very very careful.
  3. Upfront cost for OMA are MUCH lower. about 1/3rd the premium, if you opt for the step-rate. There is no reason to cancel coverage that I can see, unless you simply don't need it.
  4. lol where did you hear that.. better to not say anything if you're not sure! you can initiate the transfer process in 1st year usually- they make you wait a few blocks before you can do it though.
  5. I believe the RBC has better options (I don't rmb if it's COLA, long term conversion at elderly age, etc). As well, in the long run, when you coverage your half a million dollar salary, the OMA step program will run out, while the 25% discount is there. Why would you NOT get both? It just makes no sense. The companies will pay out according to how much you've covered with each company, is my understanding.
  6. simple thing: get minimum (500$) coverage with RBC and cover the rest with OMA. That way you lock in the 25% discount, and can choose lots of options without medical.
  7. one thing you don't realize until you write it is how heavily checklist-based the exam scoring is. if you watch the examiners after you finish your stations, the entire marking sheet is a scantron sheet; there is a giant list of items, you simply get a tick box if you ask something. it gets a little anxiety-provoking when you're wrapping up your station and you see a whole section that remains un-checked
  8. I just learned today that IV caffeine exsists. shocking!
  9. very thin. saw a ep lab today. no idea what was going on but pretty cool. I meant, what did/will you wear to the interview in terms of suit colour?
  10. HTC desire Z running Android 4.0 ICS! do you believe RIM will survive?
  11. just a clarification- why do you say you need 3.8 for Queen's and Western? Western has been 3.7 cutoff and Queen's seems to have been at 3.7 before these last two years.
