Just not end it with you being able to practise medicine. Residents can and do get fired in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Residents can and do get fired in the US. For sure - but looking at it from a legal perspective (armchair lawyer for a second) - terrible publicity for the hospital (and her career), but no charges pressed and not directly related to her practice of medicine (except in terms of a broader "professionalism")... The cases in the link below on the other hand, is much more legally and ethically troublesome... http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/breaching-boundaries-disciplined-physicians-often-given-2nd-chance-to-practise/ar-BBovSDi?ocid=spartandhp Breaching Boundaries: Disciplined physicians often given 2nd chance to practise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cases in the link below on the other hand, is much more legally and ethically troublesome... often there is exactly that professionalism clause added in - hospital is a business in the US often - you just hurt badly that business in terms of publicity. Not sure of course of the legality in this case but this sounds like the sort of thing you can get nailed for As a doctor you are expected to hold to a professional standard etc. Clearly they already think they have enough to suspend her and investigate - with the big question as to why she was acting that way yeah as for the second case....grrrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the same thing would occur here - ie. can one be dismissed for professionalism or similar? A bit of a grey area in any case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the same thing would occur here - ie. can one be dismissed for professionalism or similar? A bit of a grey area in any case... yeah a bit grey - we are highly unionized, and with fewer schools it is more standardized. the point I guess is well as boring as it sounds if you are a doctor and thus a professional that comes with certain obligations of behaviour whether you like it or not. Small world, people know each other, and if you just go off and do something like this? Good luck getting a job, getting a fellowship, staying employed.......... Stuff like this gets students in trouble even in medical school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is just a danger of slippery-slope of malicious rumours, etc.. In this case the video pretty much summarizes the situation, but may not always be the case and people may have different "norms". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sorry to hear about the rejection but congratulations on the interview invite for medbiophysics! :-) Thanks! I think there was a point over the summer when I realized I wanted to do research instead of medicine, but I decided to apply to med anyways because I had already signed up for the MCAT and talked to referees. I might make a post in the non-trad success stories thread in a few weeks explaining my "journey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplemermaid Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 How do you guys stay productive when you don't have any upcoming deadlines for things like school/exams/work, etc? I feel like I can't be productive until I have to be, which results in procrastination :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I stayed motivated always as I kept my eye on the prize (medical school). So, I kept up to date and reviewed my work, exams or no exams, deadlines or no deadlines. This was exhausting but it did pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about all parts of life, but more emphasis on school work/studying, and also doing EC work (like applying to jobs for summer) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheeler Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It would be cool to have a single thread with the pros/cons of each Cdn medical school (in terms of curriculum structure, facilities, student life, city life, weather, housing, residency stats, etc.) and personal experiences of students included as well, so it could be a major resource when it comes to getting a better sense of what each school is like ahead of interviews and especially for applicants who need to decide between multiple acceptances.

oshaku Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm been spamming F5 on results of the Iowa caucus, watching Clinton-Sanders go from 52.8 vs 46.7 to narrowing the gap to 50.0 vs 49.4, getting giddier every time the gap narrows by 0.5 %.

US politics is always interesting - I am constantly stunned how long their selection process is. Seems almost 2 years to elect for a 4 year position. How does anyone actually get any work down with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chronicconic Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 hmmm any direction in particular? I was thinking something health-related, like Pharmacy or Dentistry. Seems like a logical next step to go. The anxiety I get from not having a career plan is eating me up . Maybe schools could offer some sort of counselling to those who face school rejection... it would certainly help in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anxiety I get from not having a career plan is eating me up . the one silver lining to going for medicine is even if you don't get it you probably have the ECs, grades, drive and study habits needed to master any of the fields as well.
