Anyway 2 nights ago I went to a meeting held by the Canadian Student Association at Ross. We had Tom come and talk to us about the 'next steps' in our medical education, especially regarding clinical rotations and applying for residency. I must say that I had trouble wrapping my head around all the info I was given. But in a nut shell, it was a positive message - even though Canadian IMGs will have a bit of a tougher time than American IMGs in getting residencies back home, it is do-able and already done by many. Canada, especially Ontario, is taking in more IMGs every year due to shortage of doctors all over. However, there are a few options that we could choose from. But I need to do some homework on that topic and map out a plan for myself before I could comment any further.
My bed has been like this for a while (and this picture shows its tidiest state). Most of the time there are 3 more piles of binder/notes/books along with the backpack. I just leave them there and sleep on the inner half of the mattress... Lazy? I don't know. I figured that I would have to reopen all the books in the morning and saw no point in putting everything back just to take them out in the same order in 6 hours again. So... they stay.Countdown to going home: 29 days
24 days...I have been counting!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for the advise: one can always make time for things they love ;) You were always the wise one - cancer patients taught you a lot...I love that wisdom!
[the tricky part in volunteering there is that it's minial of 6 months and every day attendance to feed those animals - it's a little hard with the location and my work ;P]
Yea so far it does look a little impossible for you. But I think there is a way to work it out. You'll figure it out. Something's gotta give to fit something new into the big picture :)
