Hi!
I am studying in grade 12 in Canada right now. I want to study medicine. I am really confused about whether to go to uni in Canada or go back to India and study at DMCH. I have been studying in India till grade 11 and came to Canada in grade 12. I was a good student. I think I would have got into med school if I gave the premed exams. I basically came to Canada to do medicine and be a well-rounded doctor, n explore new fields at the same time. Now, Im really confused about whether to do medicine at DMCH. My high school average in physics, chem. n bio are good. Could you please tell me if thats what they are looking for. I have also applied to unis in Canada and could study sth like biophysics (as Im kinda gud at physics) and have a creative background for med school.
I know that you have to give USMLEs and other exams for residencies in North America. I have been quite discouraged hearing about so many international students having a very tough time here. I want to know if you can get into residency programs of your choice at par with the Canadian students.
The gud part about India is that I could be more comfortable at DMCH (its close to home) n I have been a pretty gud student in India. Sometimes, I think what if I later figure out that Im not that interested in medicine. Studying in India might rid me of my chances of doing sth I really like to do which I could do while studying at uni here in Canada. My teachers told me its quite early to start med school at this age. I know thats what I would have done in India though. But there are many layers to dealing with peoples emotions and lives.
I want to know if theres something in at Newfoundland as I hear many people go there for medicine. Its a high time I figure out what to do. Could anyone please try to make sense of this post and help me out.
