Research/ECs for Neurosurg

Hi all, current M1. Just wanted to ask what type of ECs are helpful for CARMS for neurosurgery at UofT, UBC for example. I do have research experience but I’m not sure what other extracurriculars I can do to supplement that. Would love any advice on how to build a competitive application.

US trained IM coming back to Canada?

Canadian at US MD school here, applying IM upcoming cycle in the US. I would love to come back to Canada after residency.

However, I am unsure about how a 3 year residency compares to 4/5 year residency for IM in Canada?

Would I be less competent than my Canadian trained counterpart? Would I be less desirable in terms of job prospects?

Also, I’m having a hard time finding the salary for IM in Canada.

Would love to hear any feedback on these questions.

Physiatry match

Hi everyone!

I’m an M3 with an IM focused CV (several clubs/interest groups, and a few ongoing research projects which will probably get me 1-3 conferences).

I’ve recently discovered that I am strongly interested in PMR and have decided to parallel plan (minimum 6 weeks of elective in both PMR and IM).

I was wondering if those who matched to PMR could share some advice considering it seems to be fairly competitive.

What do you believe is required to match? Is it typically research/EC heavy?

Where would you recommend doing an elective?

Is it too late to make this switch considering its competitiveness?

Thank you!!!
