Hello everyone, I am a 3rd year medical student in Quebec. I have a pre-existing mental health condition and I was wondering about when should I start thinking about disability insurance and what kind of coverage should I sign up for, which company, cost and so forth. Would really appreciate advice on this matter. I am stable now but who knows what will happen in the future.

Would really love to know whether an accommodation would be possible in IM or not. The problem is the only way to know is to ask, which means I have to disclose my diagnosis, which can then exclude me from the program. Frustrating.

Glad someone brought this topic up. I am in the same boat as OP. Still unsure how to approach CaRMS. I am currently interested in IM/FM (leaning more towards internal). I know internal is more intensive than FM, but perhaps I could ask for accommodation? Even if I were to pursue FM, I would still have to do overnight call which would still be a problem. I am also aware that different programs structure call differently. Perhaps there are sites that are more accommodating or that are less call-intensive than others? Not sure if that’s true.
