Is toronto dental anesthesia program worthwhile to apply? Are these rumours true?
Hey, so I'm a third-year dental student here in Canada, and I'm really into the idea of specializing in dental anesthesia. Based on my understanding toronto is the only school in Canada that offers this. I've been hearing some stuff about the program that's making me second-guess whether I should apply or not. I heard that students are always delayed graduation. One person who was supposed to graduate in 2023 but hasn't yet, and nobody seems to know why.There are no students in the class of...

Course Repeats > 2x
How to do Canadian Med Schools treat more than 2x repeats of a course? I have one I repeated 4x and failed, not due to lack of of ability but more like extenuating circumstances due to which I couldn't take the exam and those excuses not being considered/accepted. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Residency in Canada for Canadian USMD
I am a Canadian citizen at a top 20 US MD school applying internal medicine for both CaRMS and NRMP this autumn, with the understanding that the CaRMS R-1 match happens before NRMP. Are Canadian electives required? My 4th year elective schedule is already booked, so all my letters of recommendation will come from US physicians. Do I have a shot at matching in IM without Canadian electives? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Iowa vs PEI (both OOS), small animal, slight exotic focus.
Hello, I’ve been waitlisted at both Iowa and PEI. I’m definitely going to accept whichever I get pulled off of first, but I’m conflicted on what I would do if I were offered both. I like PEI’s smaller class size and their student to faculty ratio. I was also impressed with the interview process. Iowa, however, would be a lot easier in terms of relocation since I have a lot of anxiety surrounding getting a student visa for Canada, as well as a visa for my long term partner. However, Iowa’s...

OMFS application inquiry
Hello everyone... I am wondering if I screwed up and made getting into OMFS difficult for myself. I am currently in my third year at a Canadian dental school, and will take the CBSE this July (aiming for 85+). I have no externship experience (a lot of programs state we want 3rd or 4th years) so I assumed to apply in summer of 3rd year, but also realized that a lot of programs application processes start in the summer of 3rd year -- so... seems there is a conflict there? I have around a... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
