Radiology at UT?

[YYZZ]

Has anyone interviewed at UT radiology in the past?

What type of osce station do they have? Is it rads-specific osce or general osce like the ones we have in nac? 

 

Thanks!

Your unprofessional behaviour violating the confidentiality agreement as per the CaRMS contract has been reported to CaRMS and the University of Toronto.

I'm sorry, I wasn't asking any cases, I was just trying to understand it a little more, I will remove this question if this is a violation.

Joni boy wanting to get rid of the competition in a very underhanded way. 

I don't know what it is with this year, but I have heard of many rad prospects using very ugly, dishonest methods to cause their cOmPeTiTiOn stress and fear.

You did not report anything. If you did, you did it anonymously, using a personal email. Your message most probably ended up in the Spam folder. You know how institutional emails work, right?

Assuming CaRMS and UoT radiology did get that email (that was never written anyways), even if they do investigate, they cannot find out who OP is based on two sentences, short of tracing the OP's IP adress. Trust me, no big institution has the energy or time for that.

Stop fearmongering, go touch some grass, work on your interview skills instead of internet trolling.

Uhm, you have not reported anyone ...

You have, at best, informed CaRMS that an anonymous guy on some obscure forum has been asking what type of questions he is to expect from UoT's rads interviews. If you read that link,

you can expect CaRMS to contact you

How is CaRMS going to contact anyone on here? Make an account and slide into their DMs? You really need to stop watching vigilante movies, my child. 

On top of that, under which match violation can this be reported? Under "failure to act in a professional or ethical manner"? Too grey a zone in this case. He is asking a question, he is not asking anyone to give him confidential material. Only a faculty member or resident answering his question with actual interview material could be reported for "failure to act in a professional or ethical manner". But even then, how would you find them? I bet a resident, in rads to boot, would use a VPN to answer questions with actual interview material.

So, CaRMS would have to hire an actual specialist to trace an IP adress, then they would have to hire a lawyer to force an internet provider to divulge the client behind the IP address, etc. This would blow out of proportion and cost one of the greediest companies in this beautiful country so much money ... For what? To find some guy who asked a question that no one actually answered?!

Doubt it's a CaRMS violation.

My guess (based on no prior knowledge) is that it is likely to be pretty standard x-rays. Maybe some fluoroscopy, some easily identifiable cross sectional imaging. Maybe a neuro CT? Likely some with a very distinct pathology (lobar pneumonia, SBO, etc)?

I was going to review my anatomy, review some approaches to image interpretations using an OSCE approach, and review some high-yield pathology images. Things that are fair game for the MCCQE/USMLE Step 2 exams.

well definitely things can be discussed in general terms - I mean that is exactly how you prepare for interviews in general - there are lists of practice questions all over the place for interviewing in general. For a large part of this it is just like any other professional interview. 

Of course we cannot talk about specific questions, and I will take down anything like that promptly.
