Hi guys,
I'm in my second year of medical school, studying at Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. I plan on applying to the US for residency and am due to take Step 1 during the summer of my 3rd year. What I've read so far says that US considers Canadian electives equally in comparison to US electives. However, does the same go for US electives in Canada? i.e should I take the risk of doing all my electives in the US if I would like to apply to Canada as well, or, should I (if the option is available) do electives in both countries, or solely focus on electives in Canada so as I can apply to US and Canada with equal weightage.
Thanks
