Don't you need residency before you become an official MD?

After 4 years of medical school, you are a MD...to practice medicine you may need additional residency and internships....you have to eventually pass your boards.

I am not sure what angle you are coming from, but it's always a good laugh when some 'hick' in a group tries to attack a new doctor and explain why he really isn't one.

You sure are hateful little prick.

Man that was harsh. Not the hateful part - the little part.

What are you doing your residency in?

 

[NoReMoRsE]

Thanks everyone!

To answer some of the above questions:

1. I am starting Family Medicine residency (kind of like a General Internist, for the Americans), which is 2 years in length. During this time, I have to write the second part of my certification exam (LMCC Part 2) and become licenced by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. After all this, then I can start my practice.
2. No plans to come to the US for any part of my training or practice... gonna stay in Canada.
3. Appointments and such are free here in Canada -- it's all covered under your socialized health insurance 😀

 

[Gooberlx2]

[msi1337]

So for Canadians Family Medicine = Internal Medicine?

In America Family Medicine is it's own residency. I dont think the term general internist is being used too much anymore

 

[NoReMoRsE]

No, Family Medicine != Internal Medicine in Canada. Family doctors are one of the first-line doctors patients see for long-term follow-up care, and family doctors also act as "gatekeepers" to determine who should be referred to specialists.

I was under the impression that residents in the US who do 3 years of General Internal Medicine can then work as a General Internist, which is similar to the role of a family doctor. However, I could be mistaken, as I mostly know about the Canadian healthcare system.

if NoReMoRsE is living here in London, that makes 4 ATer's from here.

Ah ok. Yeah think the students that wanna do what you do usually just apply for a fam med residency as well rather than do IM

Regarding #1, it seems you're planning on doing family medicine for a career? Just curious.

Congrats! :beer:

 

[NoReMoRsE]

Yup, family medicine is what I'll be doing as a career. Not sure which city I'll end up working in yet.
