Canada Electives
I’m a bit torn between my options for electives this summer. I would love your guys advice/ input.
Quick background: I’m a Canadian doing medical school in Ireland. I’ve done two electives at queens university in Kingston (acute care surgery and nephrology). I have done a CIHR grant with a paediatric nephrologist from McMaster. I would ideally like to match to Canada for paeds.
My current dilemma: I forsure want to do 3 weeks in Manitoba for paeds just to make some connections out west. But idk if I should do the 4 weeks at McMaster ( they only do 4 week blocks) to make my ties stronger with the Paeds department or make my ties stronger with queens since I’ve already done two electives there. I also want to leave out time to study for the MCCQE that’s in August so ideally my time frame for electives is May 19 - latest mid july. Unless people think I should take most of July off too to study.
I currently have an elective already in place between may 19-30. So my next block I could start on June 2.
Would really appreciate anyone’s help and input xx
