Hello everyone! I was wondering what call is like for staff neurologists who work at community hospitals (without residents). Do they frequently have to go in overnight while on call? Thank you.

Hello everyone. I am interested in Anesthesia but am a mature student so lifestyle during residency is important to me. I was wondering if people can comment on the intensity/difficulty of an Anesthesia residency and the type of call shifts that are required. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your input @skyuppercutt. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question. If a Cardiologist sets up an outpatient office practice or joins a outpatient group practice can he/she decide how many hours to work per week. I like cardiology as well but my understanding is that they work upwards of 60hrs/wk which is scary.

Hey everyone, confused pre-clerk here trying to narrow down my residency choices. I really like IM and some of its sub-specialties, specifically - GI, Endocrinology, Geriatrics, Hematology, ID and Nephro. Due to family reasons I need to stay in the Greater Toronto Area. Does anyone know what the job market is like for the stated sub-specialties in a hospital setting? Also are extra fellowships/masters needed for community hospital jobs in these sub-specialties? I could really use people's advice. Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone....I am trying to get an idea of the lifestyle of a staff neurologist. In a community hospital setting what are the hours and call like? Any input is appreciated.

Hello Everyone...I am a med student interested in both IM and neurology. Lifestyle and working in the Toronto area are important to me due to family reasons. I had a few questions and would appreciate ppl's opinions as it will help me decide. 1. How does neurology residency compare to IM in terms of intensity and average hours worked/week? What is the comparison for like staff? 2. Is call for staff neurologists in community hospitals worse than call for IM docs in similar hospitals? 3. If I choose not to do a fellowship following neurology will I be limited to purely clinical pr

Hello everyone, What are the job opportunities like in academic centres (Ontario) for Physiatrists? I am interested in Physiatry research and would love to research work in academic centres but I'm worried about job opportunities. Thanks.

Thank you everyone!! One more question...I like clinical research and academic work. Is there any hope of getting such jobs in Toronto in Fam med/Psych/GIM? I plan on doing fellowship/masters.

Thank you everyone for for your honest answers. I really appreciate it. Due to family reasons, I would prefer to stay in Toronto during residency and definitely need to work in the Greater Toronto Area upon completing residency. Family medicine is definitely something I am strongly considering. @NLengr what do you think about General Peds, GIM, Neurology and Ophthalmology if I'd like to stay in Toronto? Thanks.

Hello...I'm a MS2 still undecided about which specialty I want to go into. Job opportunities is something I want to consider while selecting a specialty because, I do not want to be unemployed or face difficulty finding a job in the Toronto area. What is a good place to look for jobs listings to gauge what the job market is like for different specialties? I thought HFO was a good source, but then I heard that not all jobs are publicly posted. Is that right? Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Hello everyone, I am a med student trying to decide between ENT and Urology. Does anyone know how the lifestyle as staff compare for the two specialties? My hunch is that ENT might be slightly better because my guess is that ENT call is better than Urology call. Thanks for your input.

Thank you kindly for the responses.

Hello everyone, I was wondering how one can be a competitive applicant for peds, internal medicine or family medicine. I understand that for some surgical specialties research looks good on CaRMs, is this the case for ped/FM/IM as well? And besides research what else can one do to be competitive? Thanks.

Given how competitive some surgical residencies are (Ophtho, Plastics, ENT, Urology etc.) is it possible to strongly back up a surgical specialty with IM or FM? If so, how does one go about doing this? Like how would one cater their CV to both a surgical specialty and one of IM/FM and how does one spin their story at both interviews? Thanks.

Thank you all for for the detailed answers...really appreciate it. Can someone explain to me what preclerkship electives are and how I can go about doing them? I am only aware of clerkship electives.
