Hi,
I'm an MS-1 from a reputable UK school (Not Oxford/Cambridge but one of Edinburgh, Imperial, UCL). I am a dual UK/Canadian citizen. I feel am pretty set on path, but I recognize im quite callow and am functionally a layman in medical specialities/medicine in general lol. I am keeping an open mind in other specialities (Anesthesiology, IM, OB etc) but would like to show interest early on.
1) I'm fortunate to have 4 months of guaranteed hands-on CE in Canada at a University. I am wondering if Canadian CE is seen as equivalent to USCE? Would US observerships be seen as equivalent to USCE for pathology?
2) What can I do to show interest in Path? Would joining the Royal College of Pathologists help? Since my uni doesn't have a dedicated Path interest group, I was thinking of proposing one.
3) I am able to do summer research at Tufts, I am wondering what would look better–clinical or basic science research? I would assume most would see my research as a formality more than anything significant.
Thanks all for the help
