3 questions about emergency med. 1. For the FRCPC program, how many allow moonlighting? Is it common? How much do residents make generally doing it? (and how many hours do they work, given other duties) 2. Where is it possible to practice full time emergency medicine without the +1 in em? (in Ontario specifically). Wondering about non-rural locations e.g. small cities / suburbs? 3. If an emerg doc gets burned out, what are possible avenues to a 9-5?

Hi guys! Much gratitude in advance for the replies/advice/insight! I'm an M3 in Montreal, Med-P background, and only have eyes from Family Medicine. I just wonder too often whether, at this point, I'm strong enough of an applicant? I have no research experience, but do have years worth of community involvement (mostly from before Med-P, about 1 years worth during) and my own health literacy initiative. Apart from this, so far, my clerkship evaluations are good. I plan on pursuing electives that could help me refine skills that would make me a better Fam Doc. I am "well-rounded" with

Hi to anyone who sees this. So I am going to do my best not to whine or complain because I know many people have had it far worse than me, but I don't know what to do and don't know how to handle this situation. So this is my second time taking the MCAT. The first time I took it, I voided it. I was foolish to think that I could manage a full time job, a prep course and study at the same time. Other may have done it, but I did not and could not. This time around, I did not go back to work and devoted the summer to just studying and taking a prep course. There have been some family issues going

Any elective advice for someone who is looking to match family med at McMaster (or somewhere in Southern Ontario)? I've heard it's good to be diverse, but maybe some electives are better than others? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, Is anyone on this forum who applied to medical school as a mature student who can offer advice about studying for the MCATs? I'm a postdoctoral fellow working in the area of research that I would like to do clinical work in (after medical school). I have a family that I support, so I cannot take 4 months off and move home with my parents to study for the MCATs! I also work full-time, but flexible hours. I'm currently studying the MCAT material one hour per day with the hopes that I can do the test next Summer (so in about 10-12 months). I find moving through the material is going

Can I Use This Person As A Reference?
Airaena posted a topic in University of Toronto Medical School
Hi, So say I had the opportunity to spend the summer doing research, but the PI just happens to be married to a distant family member. UofT is really strict about family friends/family being references. Should I avoid using this reference even though they are no where near being an immediate family member? Thanks! -
I need some advice/encouragement and a good reality check. I want to be a physician. It has been on the periphery of my dreams since I was a kid but didn't solidify into a actual goal until a year or two ago. My problem is that I'm 35 and my spouse and I want to start a family so becoming a physician seems out of reach. I worry about the realities of this journey and the sacrifices required vis a vis personal life and raising children. I feel like if I was single and had no intent of having children for the next decade, it would be a no-brainer and I would dive in happily. Unfortunately,
