Last Minute Change in Specialties
QuestionsAbound replied to bread's topic in Medical Student General Discussions
Hospitalist medicine can have varying acuity depending on the hospital you are working in. You have the advantage of using COVID as an excuse. Consider using it. Take some time to reflect, speak with residents in those specialties, and decide what is most important to you. Where do you want to work, what level of acuity, generalist or specialist, etc). Ultimately this decision falls entirely on what you want with your life. -
Nursing staff are paid from the hospital budget. Physicians are paid from the provincial budget. Many (most) hospitals can not afford to have all surgeries assisted by a nurse. Surgeons also have preferences for who they assist with, which they would not be able to do if the assist was a salaried employee of the hospital. Surgical assist has historically been a physician role. Just because there are nurse practitioners that do primary care does not mean we should remove primary care physicians.

Just to clarify for any premeds reading this thread who may misunderstand... a B is not a career ending grade. You are allowed to get a bad mark on your transcript and medicine is full of people who did not get perfect A+ grades in all of their classes. Worry about things you can change, not those you can’t.

You don’t need a medical if you sign up at the end of medical school, and can increase your coverage without a medical thereafter for most plans. If you wait you will likely need a medical. -

QuestionsAbound replied to sangria's topic in General Resident Physician Discussions
Enjoy your time off and don’t worry about the start. You’ll be fine in residency and everyone will be understanding that adjusting during the chaos will be difficult. -

This isn’t only found in rural settings, you also see this in urban. Everyone should always question what they’re taught and make efforts to stay current on their own.- 31 replies

Fam Med Residency Program Comparison
QuestionsAbound replied to jojo123's topic in Primary Care Residencies
While there are fewer traumas that come in, there is proportionally fewer learners. You also won’t have RT or other supports, so you become quite proficient in the other tasks (draw your own ABG, monitor and change your own vent settings, resource allocation, etc.).- 31 replies
