most/all rotations in canada success?

[montrealdoc]

I have heard of students from Saba doing rotations in Canada and I wanted to know if anyone who has done this was successful in getting into a residency program in Canada. I have heard about a 12 week regulation as a maximum for rotations in Canada, but I do not believe it is a legal problem. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Wud up dude,
Sorry, I can't PM you because I apparently don't have enough posts on here yet. Anyway, I got all of my information from a presentation that was done at my school (Saba) last year. There is another presentation from our clinical rotations director coming up on July 21. I submitted that same question along with a few extra ones of the same nature. If I get any new info out of it I'll pass it on to you. Feel free to msg me again after that date to remind me because we're getting close to the end of the semester and I'm pretty busy and likely to forget. You could also try to speak with the clinical director at your school, they should have some info on this stuff. Alrighty, I'll throw you a msg if I get any good info. Peace out

you do realize that if you go to saba you will pratice in america right? Nobody really, unless you are connected, ever gets to go back and practice in canada?

You're clearly not a SABA student. First of all, I know several people who are currently completing competitive residencies in Canada who are SABA alumni. A friend of mine is doing Anesthesiology in Ontario. It boils down to doing rotations in Canada which IS possible, including core rotations, and applying to the right program in the right place (and that doesn't mean rural Family Practice). Connections don't go very far when it comes to obtaining a residency so doing rotations in Canada is the way to go. This information is not opinion but is fact that I have obtained from our Clinical Dean. The thing is, an average/below average student from a Carib school doesn't usually get their first or even second choice but an above average student has a real shot at going where they want including Canada.
