LeBronto2019 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I was wondering what options there are for FM in terms of fellowships. I have heard that OB/GYN, Emerg, and even Gen. Surg. are possible but wanted to see if there are others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Beef Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 try the google machine Agreed ..... when I first became interested in medicine I was delving deep into the medical school websites, reading all of the residency program websites ... just trying to soak it all up.

NLengr Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 If you are searching for them, they are called "enhanced years" or something. It's a strange name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyInTheBubble Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I hate to contribute to this thread because the OP lacks effort, but now that it's side tracked: The "extra" training for family doctors was supposed to give physician's a broader skill set. In other words, more tools to practice comprehensive family medicine. All that happens now, is people do added training and consider themselves mini-specialists. Practices have become more focused not more general. That being said, it seems to happen in every specialty. General surgery plus a fellowship in whatever and people avoid broad based practice and move towards more specialized (aka "lucrative") procedures. Unless there are noble docs out there that do additional training to make less money? "I like dialysis cause renal physiology is super cool and awesome" sounds better than "I like dialysis cause the machines print money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Med0123 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 actually, thoracic surgery is in general less lucrative than pure general surgery (less volume, less surgery during the night meaning less overnight bonuses) sometimes people do overtrain to perform what they really like (or to avoid what they hate the most) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtytwo Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sunnybrook has a Hospitalist fellowship. I know exactly nothing about it, except that I think it's the only one in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureGP Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sunnybrook has a Hospitalist fellowship. I know exactly nothing about it, except that I think it's the only one in Canada. though it's not necessary to work as a hospitalist in the GTA. i guess it's for academics' sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
