That's a fair explanation mathtomed. -
When does residency start?
tooty replied to flamingelephants's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Every school is different. We just had to stay until convocation early in June. The rest of the month was ours. Also, July 1st is a holiday. I do believe unless you're scheduled for call on your first day or residency, which happens haha, most of you will start July 2nd. What's REALLY fun is if your first block is ICU and you're scheduled for July 1st call. -
Maternity/paternity leave in Residency
tooty replied to kinemed's topic in General Resident Physician Discussions
I heard that you can take up to 3 months off without having to make up time. Any more than that, you'd have to repeat the whole year. I have never confirmed this myself. This might help http://www.myparo.ca/Pregnancy_FAQ -

I agree with lokiki that with more life experience behind you, you are much more well rounded than a kid fresh out of high school. I'm surprised this even needs to be said. We had one person in her 40s in my class. She did just fine and is now super happy in a primary care residency. -
lol I see this a lot from premeds. It's up to YOU to do extraordinary things with what you're involved with. Any fool can start a club.

Working Part-Time in Med School?
tooty replied to mjd2012's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
I don't understand why people do this unless it's for something like $100/hr, as someone said. You're jeopardizing your chances down the line even if you plan to do nothing with your weekends. -
Thoughts on my elective breakdown?
tooty replied to thestar10's topic in Diagnostics, Imaging, and Therapeutics Residencies
It looks good gopher. I wouldn't do more than 6 rads electives. -
ICU Vancouver verses GIM Calgary
tooty replied to lado1234's topic in Clerkship Rotations and Electives (Med 3 and 4)
I agree with paralyzer. I did an icu elective in 3rd year and found it to be over my head, although I did see and do some cool stuff. -

When's a good time to purchase a stethoscope?
tooty replied to mononoke's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
your class will organize a group purchase where a littman cardiology III will be about $150. there are plenty of used ones on kijiji for <$100. -
last year's mean was 496, each standard deviation was 100. Pass was 390.

If I get waitlisted everywhere, what does this mean?
tooty replied to bluecastel's topic in General Premed Discussions
without knowing which med scools, I would say yes it's your interview skills. the good news is you can expect a similar number of interviews next year, so practice lots. this is assuming you don't get off the waitlist! gl
