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)

PennVet (OOS) vs. UGA (OOS)
Hi all! I have been struggling quite a bit with my decision, and I think I have finally narrowed it down to two choices, but I'd love some advice.

MCAT Score Increase Chances
I just finished my first AAMC FL (I did the unscored) and got a 508 (127/127/126/128) according to the converter. I took a BP FL about a month ago and got a 503 and have done UWorld between then and now. I’m aiming for a 515-517 and am testing May 24 while working full time (I am planning to use PTO to take the week before my test off to study) What can I do between then and now to achieve that goal? Is 515-517 out of the question? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Share experiences - by name requests
Hi! I'm an undergraduate student writing a research paper on the harms of Direct-to-Consumer Pharmaceutical Advertisements. I'm specifically focusing on private practice doctors, and the potential harm to them when a patient sees an advertisement for a medication, requests it by name, is subsequently denied a prescription for it (for any reason deemed necessary by the physician) and expresses their discontent through a negative review of the practice. I'm calling on physician testimony as... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)
