MarsRover Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 What kind of description do you add to your clinical electives section of CARMS? Relevant cases you saw? CanMEDs-y type buzz words? Just straight to the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 No hard and fast guidelines on this, but I would lean towards keeping descriptions to the point about the setting and the exposure that you gained. If there was anything especially unique or noteworthy about what you did or saw, you could include it, but the people reading your application will all be involved in and familiar with medical student electives in this country, and therefore unlikely to be impressed by buzzwords.

robclem21 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Im actually pretty sure I left those descriptions blank. I didn't think a description added any value or that anybody was going to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethirdlaw Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yeah I don't see how a description contributes anything beyond your MSPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
