i have another question LOLgrin

having a master degree (in epidemiology) would help in order to get a residency position? or not?

What's better? to be a fresh graduate or to to have the epidemiology master degree (as far as i know it takes 1 year)???????????????????

if u complete the course then yes it helps. if not - there are tons of ppl with uncompleted us masters who use it for a visa

i dont think its advisable to switch nations for ur training. finish everything at one place and then move.

canada has a 4yr residency. so u might not meet their fship reqs with a 3yr us residency

So it really depends on what your interested in, If your residency is in Internal Med, GI or Cards rite now in Canada is pretty impossible without a decent number of pubs in NEJM or JAMA...amongst the easiest are geriatrics and palliative care..

NZ has loads of jobs generally, because the have just one medical school graduates to cover their posts, but my info is that they usually are very selective and mostly training posts are given to their own grads and UK grads. FMGs end up doing on taining posts. I am not sure how this works in fellowship.
