CaRMs and the future for IMGs?

[Slashsev]

1 last rant..lol

to the number that show international doctore in canada

first off those MDs where accepted from an admission process many years ago

secondly of those accepted now many of them are #1 in their respective fields and have had SEVERAL years of experience working as physicians...

not off the bat residency students...


andddd as an SGU/int grad

you will be forced into a ROS program..so youll see 4-5-6 of your time in the middle of nowhere...

from thennnn on...then u will go to toronto and START your clinic...

[Slashsev]

the canadian economy has been hollowed out and will see a round of mass exits from highly talented individuals (look at europe now) ...theres is no respect for the healthcare field anylonger

considering we offer "social healthcare" its a shame..how much can the canadian gov abuse the public?

canada is being held by chinese pillars- toronto and vancouver...only matter of time before that will die out...

you probably can be more successful as condo salesmen without a highschool education in canada than as a doctor!

lol encouraging stuff. I think everything can be looked at both ways. If you go on mostly negatives, our housing "bubble" will soon crash, we'll all owe more money than our assets are worth and we'll die while waiting to get treated at local hospital because there is a doctor shortage. That's IF we don't get shot while attending a bbq or going to see a movie....If you want to go somewhere in life u have to make a move. Otherwise we can be happy making 50k a year renting an apartment till we grow old and our kids dump our asses in retirement homes they can barely afford.

You're basically going to the casino and making a 200-300k bet here. People will have different opinions on what odds they're willing to play the game.

very true and all things considered probably worse odds than a coin flip! But at least I think its less about just straight luck and you can do your part to make the odds as favorable for yourself as possible even though you arent starting off with the best of hands going to an international school.

is on a collision course....

Do you know how much those doctors work? And how slick they are at what they do? That radiologist is probably working 24/7 and is amazingly good at his job, whether it be interventional. If he were just slacking, he would have lawsuit after lawsuit on his name due to missed pathology or adverse outcomes in intervention.

People just whine about salary. If you were working as hard and well as some of those doctors, you would be asking for similar remuneration. He isn't on salary. He is busting his balls to see an extremely high volume.
