Data on successful resident transfers?
Synth1 replied to _gettingthere_'s topic in CaRMS and CaRMS applications
Honestly I don't. Which 3? -
Queen's FM - Adding additional sites?
Synth1 replied to CaRMS2021's topic in CaRMS and CaRMS applications
It would be good to create a centralized thread about deadlines to add additional sites, much like the open vs. closed thread. I'm interested in the above as well. -

Anyone interested in CARMS Interview practice?

Sent you a PM about this the day you posted but realized you haven't seen it. Let me know. -
You are only working on half the days in a given month?!?

Things you wish you knew before you started med
Synth1 replied to FlyingBird_'s topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Osmosis is awesome for getting a concise summary of the key points of a condition in under 10 mins. I like it as a starting point for something I'm not familiar with, or when I just need to learn the basics fast. Also, videos are easier to take in when you are tired -

Rent in major centres (where most schools are located) can range from $1000-$1500 a month for a single occupancy rental. That's 12-18 K right there. Even if your rent is cheaper there are LOTS of other expenses to consider. 20 K on top of tuition doesn't seem realistic to me.

Synth1 replied to youbesee's topic in University of British Columbia Medical School
Wow, these posts are brutal. For others reading just remember that these views are not necessarily representative, especially as each site has their own staff/teachers etc. My experience: Our lab instructors were amazing and I wouldn't have learned nearly as much without attending, and student affairs has been fantastic when I needed them. I was never brushed off or simply given a book recommendation, and follow up occurred on multiple occasions. -
Mortgage as a Resident Physician
Synth1 replied to James Nystead's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
I'm also interested in information about this, could those with experience DM or just post in this thread? -
How do you highlight your notes?
Synth1 replied to chateau22's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
You will change the way you study multiple times in med school. I wouldn't worry about it (assuming you are an incoming student), try things out and see what works for you. For example, I used to handwrite notes but now I only use flashcards. -

COVID-19 Impact on Electives and Clerkships
Synth1 replied to divinecomedy's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Most of this has worked out ok, but I'm pretty worried about not having the opportunity to make myself known to programs outside my home province. -
I started med school at 35, and I'm not the oldest in my class. Honestly, who cares. I feel like this whole societal expectation thing people get hung up on around people being a certain age doing certain things is BS. Do what will be fulfilling for you, no matter what age you are.
