zxcccxz Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Still a med student, but its looking like I will probably apply to IM (next year). Just wondering if anyone is aware of how easy it is to match to a good-quality US Heme-Onc fellowship following an IM residency in Canada? Also, following the heme-onc fellowship, will there be any barriers for returning to Canada as a staff? Yes, I know it seems as though I'm making my life unnecessarily difficult by going to the US if I ultimately intent to practice here, but my reasons are (1) I would love to live in the US for a few years just for the opportunity to live in a different country, travel, and get some different life experiences (2) I really enjoy both Heme and Onc, and there aren't any combined Heme-Onc programs in Canada (as far as I'm aware), so it fit well with my clinical and academic goals to do a combined Heme-One fellowship. Appreciate any advice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoTrot Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Very interested in this as well. If I could add a question, are Canadian IM programs happy for us to do electives in the States? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
