Planning to apply for PCMC Pediatrics Residency
I’m planning to apply for pedia residency this year, with PCMC, NCH, and PGH as my top choices. I’d really appreciate hearing from current residents, graduates, or anyone familiar with the program.
- How is the pre-res experience in PCMC?
W
hat should applicants expect in terms of workload, duties, and evaluations?
How is the overall work environment and culture?
Are there PHIC shares or other financial incentives aside from salary?
Does PCMC already use an EMR, or is charting still mostly through paper charts?
How are the teaching conferences and mentorship?
Any tips for succeeding during pre-res?
* Graduated from a provincial med school
* PRC Board Rating: 85%
* I’ve been moonlighting for the past 3 years, mostly in 3 government hospitals, so I’ve been away from formal residency training for quite some time.
I’m honestly wondering if the 3-year gap from graduation would put me at a disadvantage. Do applicants with a similar background still have a realistic chance of matching into PCMC?
I’d really appreciate any honest insights, advice, or experiences you can share. Thank you so much!
