What are the advantages, disadvantages, and benefits to completing a PhD or masters in conjunction with your MD? Does it offer advantages in the future? I was considering doing the MD/PhD program but I don't really have a desire at this point to do lab work/research. Are there other things you can do with your MD/PhD? I would be open to hearing advice from anyone who decided to do the program or the reasons people decided to not do it. Thanks everyone! -

Hi Everyone, In brief, I am a PhD student studying medicine in Canada. My biggest hurdle as I apply to medical schools is most definitely my GPA. >undergrad GPA: 2.8 >graduate GPA: 3.9 (Though this is a thesis-based degree, I have taken a course (or two) every single semester over my 5 year PhD) [Based off of this year's entry statistics for almost all Canadian and US schools, my MCAT score is competitive. I have hundreds of hours of extracurricular activities ranging from volunteering, community service, student groups, leadership, etc. I have 100+ hours of shadowin -
Background When I was in high school, I wanted to be nothing but a doctor, then after high school, I wasn't able to get into medical school in India. I decided to pursue Biomedical Engineering, enjoyed it wanted to do more. Did Masters in Biomedical Engineering, enjoyed research even more decided to do Ph.D. in Biomedical engineering, specializing in medical imaging. During Ph.D. moved to the US to pursue the remainder of my research towards the Ph.D. program. While working at a hospital in my research and final year of research, I felt an urge to pursue medicine instead of doing post-doc -
June 30th is generally thrown around, but so far I can only find it in U of T and Western's policies. Does anyone know what the policy is at Mac? And how strict it is? -
Bonjour à tous! Je termine dans un an et demi mon PhD en neuropsychologie (thèse lié au domaine biomédical). Je souhaite appliquer en médecine après le dépôt de ma thèse, soit en décembre 2016. Par contre, seul mes notes du BAC seront considérées et je ne pourrai pas bénéficier du +2 à ma côte, car je n'aurai pas encore soutenu ma thèse (et donc pas encore le titre...). J'ai fais un BAC en psychologie avec une cote de 3.9/4.3... Je cherche des gens ayant un parcours similaire et étant entrés dans le programme de médecine via le profil ''phd obtenu ou en cours''. Serait-il possible savo

Hi everyone! For anyone applying or have applied to the U of T MD/PhD program or who is/was a grad applicant, could anyone please provide any advice on how to format your academic CV? I know they posted guidelines, but I'm not sure if applicants should be following that exact layout. Alternatively, should we use our own CV format (e.g. add in our address, phone number like a traditional CV for the personal information section) and simply integrate the required headings? Thanks in advance! -
Hello everyone, Sorry if it has been already discussed but I really need your comments on this: I've done my undergrad in Physiotherapy back in my home country. My converted GPA will be (I guess) around 3.34/4. After 3 years of practice as a physio I went to Belgium where I did my Masters on internal disorders rehabilitation. And now I'm finishing my PhD on exercise physiology and biochemistry of diabetes here in university of Alberta. I really want to apply for MD program next year and I'm not sure if this low GPA and rather broad professional and research background would give me

Hi everyone! Sorry for the long post, but just looking for some quick advice on grad school/applying! I'm currently finishing my first year of grad school in a 2 year thesis-based MSc in epidemiology. After a lot of discussion and contemplation, I've decided that I really want to apply to med school once I'm finished. However in a recent conversation with my supervisor, he suggested that my project was coming along really well and that if I transferred to the PhD stream this summer I could probably finish it in an extra year and a half (so 3.5 total, as opposed to 2 years for the -
Hello fellows, I am interested in applying for medical school, however I'm wondering I would have a chance applying for medSchool @ Queen's university - even considering the "special admission" criteria for mature students with a graduate degree (PhD). I will summarize my background, so you can have a better idea of my profile. 30 years old; permanent resident; Finishing this month my PhD in Biomedical Engineering (studying applications of optical techniques into the characterization of atherosclerotic plaque development); B.Sc. in Medical Physics (from a very good international universi -

Did anyone apply to the MCDM-PhD program, and only get accepted to MDCM? (or does anyone know of this happening to someone?) I was looking over the 2015 admission stats, and I'm just wondering how people who apply to the MDCM-PhD program are considered by admissions. Is their MCDM portion of their application considered separately (pre and post interview) from the regular MCDM stream applicants (IP, OOP, NTP, etc.)?
