rswim Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Can people comment on Anesthesia electives? I am a UBC student and Im trying to decide on a few two week Anesthesia electives to apply for our Pre CARMS electives next Sep-Nov. Any suggestions, good or bad experiences? Specifically anyone had any experiences at Dal? Im a true blue West Coaster but I'd love to see what its like way out derrr Also comments on UofA and UofC electives/experiences would be much appreciated! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiomegaly Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Worth the trip to Halifax - Dal is probably the best organized anaesthesia elective in the country because they place you with a preceptor for 2 full weeks. You're not getting a better reference letter than that from any other school. Plus it's a beautiful city and lots of fun to explore. I would hazard a guess from friends' experiences that both U of A and U of C are also decent choices, especially if you are Western focused for choice of residency. If you're applying to anaesthesia I think you would be applying broadly, so hit the 2-3 schools you would rank highly based on location, go to Dal and also to Ontario for a visit.

Awesome - thanks CM - I have heard nothing but good things about Dal - will def try to get one out there! Yes will be casting the net wide - probably apply to all programs but will likely only get one pre-carms out of province 2 weeker in Anesthesia prior to CARMS submission and one more post submission pre interviews/match (December) PS. r u an anesthesia resident?
