Hi all, I’m very interested in anaesthesia and coming in as an MS1. I am wanting to build a good application to stay at UBC. Any advice on what to do now? Is it hard to match into anaes and stay in BC?
Why do people have such a hard time accepting that eventually, women will likely dominate medicine?
Almost everyone I know applying is a woman, and year after year, more and more women get in. There are so many posts about the “gender gap” and maybe, just maybe, it’s because women are actually good at higher education and being physicians.
IP interviewee, R after. Has anyone else not got feedback?
Title. Be so fr. If you apply and get into a DO school, why would you not go?
Happy pride month to everyone. Just a reminder that queer people belong in medicine as patients, as providers and as applicants!
How much does nepotism really affect your chances and does everyone who gets in have it?
Hi everyone, I have to get my IUD replaced but I have severe medical trauma. The clinic I’m going to offered penthrox (even though I’d prefer in-hospital sedation, they said the ORs are pretty booked) and I’d like to not remember the procedure as much as possible.
Does anyone have positive experiences with penthrox?

With decisions out, I’m looking to start my 2026/27 application soon. Are there any applicant servers available?
I know some people who just got in on their first cycle right out of undergrad and I’m really frustrated. How is it that they did that?
Realistically, what % of Canadian applicants will ever actually make it? Is it worth even trying again? Is a first-time A really that rare?
Who else is studying for the MCAT and applying to med school this summer at UBCO? Is there a groupchat?
Edit: Yes I’m in eng applying to med school lol
