Student Review
I achieved my goal of learning about practicing in Canada. It is a fast paced setting with a diverse patient population so you improve your efficiency at routine exams and undilated 90. Mostly primary care but I also saw a fair amount of BV and ocular disease cases. Learned about coding and practice management. Both attendings were great! Very approachable and answered any questions I had throughout my time here.
