Cmed Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hours will likely have zero bearing on how they will evaluate your travel... so it probably won't matter what you put. Are u writing about it as a top 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are u writing about it as a top 5? Nope, must it be a top 5 to be mentioned? you put vacation as an activity? The App Manual states: "you should take the time to take part in other activities that you enjoy. These might include sports, the arts, travel and membership in clubs, among other things." Otherwise I wouldn't have included it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmed Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Nope, must it be a top 5 to be mentioned? No just explain it enough that it doesn't come across as, "Daddy gave me 5 grand to go to Australia and find myself after high school, so I went and partied." Nothing wrong with that but ask yourself, how does this add to my app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larva Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I included a backpacking trip as one of my activities. As part of the explanation I wrote that this trip was what sparked my love of travel. I thought it was worth an entry just due to the fact that travel was mentioned in the app manual. At worst I don't think it will hurt my chances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At worst I don't think it will hurt my chances! no, I think that's a great activity. My point is, twice I've spent weeks in the Dominican Republic at a resort. These trips were technically travel, but I'd never consider that an activity. I think the context of the travel is really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnfifn Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 It depends on how you talk about the impact. Canada is a very multicultural country and as a physician you will be dealing with people of different backgrounds, beliefs, customs, traditions, etc. At the end I think almost any activity could be used provided you could tie it up to the roles of a physician or how this will help you as a physican.
