Failed an elective - what next?
End Poverty replied to zgripflight's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
It is a big disadvantage of 3 year programs that a lot of students are not very aware of. I did not know about the fact that we do our electives at the beginning of our clerkship until few months ago.- 33 replies

If it's U of C, unfortunately, it shows up on the MSPR. All rewrites and remedial work done during clerkship is recorded on MSPR as well.- 33 replies

Preparing meals in med school
End Poverty replied to medicine200000's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
I love making soups . Soups are one of my favourite foods and there is just so much diversity in terms of what kind of soups you can make Soups are so healthy for the following reasons: 1. you can add vegetables --> source of fibre/ vitamins. 2. add protein ( meat or chicken or legumes if you are vegetarian)---> source of proteins 3. It has a lot of fluid ---> hydration. 4. It makes you feel full, and it does not have a lot of calories. 5. It's warm, makes you psychologically feel good lol I <3 soups .. -
Cosmetic Procedures in Family Medicine
End Poverty replied to End Poverty's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Do derm residents receive training in these procedures? I always thought that they do, but when I talked to one of the residents in my school, I was told that he did not receive any training in this area. Is it dependent on the school/program? -

Working in med school..?
End Poverty replied to Bookmark311's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
I don't recommend working in med school b/c how busy it is in medicine. I would recommend spending all your spare time with family or friends, self-care, exercising,..etc However, it depends on your situation, and how much debt do you have whilst in medicine. Few people in my class who were lawyers, NP, and nurses are working very part time ( less than 10 hours a week).. They are working very part-time.. -
I'm so sorry to hear that, the albertan schools are quite competitive so don't feel bad. U of C and U of A place a lot of emphasis on EC and interviewing skills, so if you do well on those you will get in. I don't think it is your MCAT that's the main issue. The MCAT is only worth 10%. Perhaps focus on developing your ECs. Don't give up, it's a tough journey, but eventually you will get in!! Everyone that I have seen try for medicine, got in eventually. It may not be on their first or second trail, but eventually they all got in

End Poverty replied to teeezyyy's topic in University of Alberta Medical School
Panel interviews were my favourite part of the interview last year. You will really enjoy it because you will be able to talk about things that you are passionate about . Be prepared to discuss ur activities. -

Offering Assistance with application does not even the playing field if it's unaffordable. It may actually create another layer of inequality amongst applicants. However, if it's affordable, it MAYBE useful ( to a small extent). I 've no data to support what I'm saying, I'm just speaking from experience. When I was pre-med student, I was lucky to have been able to afford MMI coaching, but at a certain point I started to think it was not very useful. I believe MMI coaching is useful for beginners who have no idea how to organize their response, but beyond that, I don't think it is supe
