karkis Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 i've been wondering, and hoping to get some feedback from U of C students / grads.... while students from other schools (4year programs) have the opportunity to get more experience (volunteerism, research) during the summer months, u of c students are booked up with coursework... maybe this would be a handicap if one ends up considering a very competitive residency???

Kirsteen Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hi, Actually, during our first year we had a maximum of seven weeks to spend during the summer, four of which were required to be in electives. Some folks used all 7 weeks for electives. Given that many of our grads match to competitive residencies, e.g., two people matched to Plastics last year, a number to Rads, and at least one to Emerg (among a few) I don't think that our three-year program is too much of a factor when a UofC student attempts to match to a competitive residency. (You might wish to ask a similar question to the McMaster students who also undergo a three-year medical school curriculum.) Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
