why not first or 2nd year of residency? No paid leave during that time?

I might need a surgery which would require at least 2 weeks of rest. I was wondering if the time between finishing medicine and starting residency would be a good time to get the surgery done. If it makes any difference, I'm at a 3 year school (McMaster) so I can't fit it in during med school

I'm a first year med student and I'm involved in some research that is likely to be published. However, I'm probably going to be 2nd/3rd authors on these projects. Should I be aiming for 1st authorship? By the time Carms comes around I think I'll have a couple of pubs but probably no 1st authors. Is this an issue for carms? (Don't know for sure what specialty I'm going for but probably moderately competitive.)

Unless UofC cares about you leaving your masters (like UofT does), then why would you decline the med offer...?

Be prepared to go to the US.

Anybody have an opinion on whether Uworld is worth doing here in Canada? Is it too American?

I'm confused pretty much where to start. I have reached out and have meetings scheduled with the research department at my school so that they can help me but I was wondering how med students generally go about finding research opportunities. In undergrad I would email people who I found interesting but I would've thought there would be a more direct and less random approach in medical school? Any tips? The area of research I want to get involved is unrelated to my previous research work.

Is a fellowship really necessary for Anesthesia? I'm a newb but I thought most didn't do one.

People are crazy on here. Posting the opportunity on premed101, you were pretty much guaranteed to get annoying keener premeds.

Where does anesthesiology fall in your opinion?

I think for international study you need a co-signer. You could probably just ask a bank....

Thanks all.

One of the courses I took for my masters degree was a research project where i wrote up a manuscript. I'm going to submit but I was confused about how to do the authorship. I worked with two other professors I met regularly throughout the semester who provided feedback and direction. However, none of them mentioned anything about authorship. I think this paper would be pretty insignifcant to them so i just assumed i would be the only author?

Leafs were eliminated. They were supposed to distract me until may 8th :(

How will we know? Will they email us or do we have to log into OMSAS to find out?
