Do they consider PharmD applicants? And I take it that the ranking/prestige behind the institution someone attends matters a lot?

Those of you that didn't find have this "calling" from early childhood, how did you decide on medicine? I've been told before that if I can see myself doing anything other than medicine, to leave medicine behind and pursue that other career. While I understand that this has some merit to it, I...

I understand that all of these are residencies, but is there a way that a newly graduated dentist can do this work? Would you be able to get that experience in dental school?

Are there niches for physicians in various fields? like sports? such as working for things like anti-doping agencies? Maybe things like muscle development or nutrition? Or maybe running clinical trials and seeing the effects that new drugs have? Anything else?

Do any of you have experience with working in Canada? If so how does one get to work in Canada after training in the US?

Hey I am wondering about the possible options for physicians that train through the normal route in the US, so no military residency or anything, overseas within the military? So can civilian docs get a contract/job to work overseas in places with the military?

I've been volunteering at a local hospital. I don't know if this doctor was just being an a** or just expressing his concerns, but I followed him around a couple of times and got to know him. Well I heard through a fellow volunteer that the doctor was expressing how he couldn't see me as a...

Thanks everyone. I am just wondering do I have a good shot at UWSOM since I am in state? And should I list all my extracurriculars I mentioned or not?

Title lists stats. Very worried since I have very little ECs. Do they even care about what you do in the following(senior year)? ECs: -2 years First Aid Service(basically providing first aid at events) -2 years Tutoring -1 quarter of research in nutrition -6 months hospital volunteer Not...

I'm mostly just curious because its 1 year less, which means less costs. I understand it would probably be much much more difficult to condense the education, but depending on the school, saving ~60k on tuition(and not having it factor into interest) would be a fair trade off imo.

I'm wondering if any other schools will slowly transition to a 3 year MD program? Or if there even exist any other than NYU's and Texas Tech's(which is only for FP)

Duke.

I don't think I've gotten a great deal of ECs but could you guys let me know if these are good to list? And what else I can do this year? -First Aid Volunteer ~2 years[Count as patient interaction right? Since I am the one providing "care"?] -Tutor ~2 years -1 quarter of research Not sure if...

^ haha yeah, I realized the typo but got to lazy to fix it. Is a GP able to do a lot of the things that other specialists do? i.e. root canals, ortho work, etc?

I shadowed in order to see if I wanted to pursue dentistry. I'm still undecided and of course naive that's why I'm here asking questions.
