jerkstore Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Say thyroid cancers, breast cancers, testicular etc. - I assume they aren't all handled by general surgeons yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Depends on organ system. thyroid, breast = general surgery testicular, renal = urology brain= neurosurgery etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 So when you take a Urology residency, does that also include surgery? Same with OB/GYN etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 So when you take a Urology residency, does that also include surgery? Same with OB/GYN etc. that is actually a major focus of both of those specialities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerkstore Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 that is actually a major focus of both of those specialities Hmm I guess only certain areas have the "ologist" and the "Surgeon" - ie. Cardiology and Neurology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Stark Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 They are, hence the FRCSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_s Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hmm I guess only certain areas have the "ologist" and the "Surgeon" - ie. Cardiology and Neurology. It's just semantics. Otolaryngologists can also be ENT surgeons. Some specialize in microvascular surgery, others do radiation medicine. Some do plastics & reconstruction. They are both "ologists" and "surgeons." Another example: Interventional cardiologists do certain surgical procedures: TAVI or TFVI procedures too, which are loosely surgical procedures too and largely separate from cardiac surgery per se. Same with neurologists, some will do stenting/coiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebouque Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Don't overthink the names of the specialties. However urologists and obgyns are surgeons. Surgery isn't part of their residency, it is their residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Also Ophthalmology yes? Tell me about the Pediatric residency too, what is the diff between that and Family Medicine residency? Don't know much about the Physical Med & Rehab specialty either... "Internal Medicine" residency what the hell does that mean... What am I doing with my life...

Thanks but I don't see any descriptions in there, just residency match figures. Ugh I guess I'll use this "google" thing everyone's been talking about.

Like I said, click on the specialty on the left side of your screen, then the school specific program, and scroll down- there's a curriculum description of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Can you click the links for me too? ha admittedly it can be a bit confusing in the beginning - there was a point where I thought you just went into surgery and later on picked your specific area (which is basically the old system of general surgery).

Legion Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Would you be at an advantage, say for PM&R, if you have a physiotherapy degree?
