pgouda Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Not a chance. Haha I have to admit my netflix subscription is still alive and well... but I did think about cancelling it... does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John9115 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I agree with everything except the netflix argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeministKilljoy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Please tell me that's for academic positions, not for run of the mill community jobs. There are tons of arthroplasty jobs posted right now. That being said, cities like Ottawa and Toronto are asking for a minimum of 2 fellowships and a PhD, but that's not the case in other, smaller centres. It's a sellers market right now. I know of ppl who managed to easily find community Orthopaedics jobs. The broader your scope, the easier it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of ppl who managed to easily find community Orthopaedics jobs. The broader your scope, the easier it is. We must know different people. The orthopods I talk to say that the only jobs out there at the moment are of the "cover evenings and weekends, get 1/2 a day of OR time every two weeks, and the established docs keep all the total joints" variety. Rumors of lots of graduates going to the States. All anecdotal, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughboy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Since medical school tends to attract personalities who catastrophize any event that is less than absolutely perfect, let me offer some belated reassurance to those who didn't match. A handful of people in my year didn't match, and all of them are doing well professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLengr Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Go rural/semi-rural, and away from Ontario & Québec. I know three orthopods who got jobs with one fellowship. One in Southern Ontario community, one in community practice on the east coast and one in community in Alberta. Did any of those jobs require fellowship level training? Probably not since they are all supplying basic ortho services. But they finished a couple years ago so maybe it was worse then. 2 fellowships and a PhD is insane. Just completely insane. Hope this is a sign of the market starting to open up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this is a sign of the market starting to open up a bit. It's doable. Stick to the general, community-friendly specialities...

Still community jobs are getting harder to get also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
