Hi everyone, its nice to meet you 🤙 My name Is Gianluca and I'm a first year family medicine resident physician in Ontario, Canada. I'm just trying to document my experiences throughout my medical training and beyond to hopefully help inspire/guide some other students... and make things more fun for myself :) I post a new video once per week.
Feel free to contact me on CZcams or Instagram if you have any questions.

i’m a life sci student and all i ever want is to become a neurosurgeon. Ur my biggest inspiration and seeing you progress after watching your mcat video is actually insane. props to u bro u put in work. U should do a q&a for medical school questions
That’s awesome dude, thank you so much for that :) all the best of luck with your studies and with everything else. I’ll probably have a med School Q and A out this summer - if there’s anything you want to ask, feel free to let me know 🤙
Loving this for you Gav.. 🎉🎉🎉
As a fellow Jamaican🇯🇲, its nice to hear Gavins story!
Congratulations- Phenomenal!!!!!
Thank you so much for this. God bless you both !
Same to you Aysha :)
Big up Dr Tyndale, true inspiration.
Congratulations ❤
Such a helpful session. Thankxx doc
Glad that it helped :)
Congratulations 🎊
Yes being a resident of Canada is a big hoop for IMG and is compulsory to apply for Carms.
Thanks Shreya, I had figured as much but I’m glad to have the confirmation - do you know how long residency applications can take when someone first applies? I’m often asked about that too
Nice.
Thank you so much for this, what an amazing session🙂🙂
About the gaps, what if one was doing a master's programme?
Glad it helped :) when CaRMS does it’s yearly presentation, they stratify applicants based on categories like “years since graduation.”
I’m sure they review everyone on a cases to case basis, but current medical practice / experience is undoubtably an advantage
we really have some great docs working in uoft gen surg. if I am lucky, maybe I will get to meet Gavin if he rotates through my clinic with one of our docs haha! Good for him though. My own cousin is a graduate of UWI's med program and is in their gen surg program in Trinidad
If you see him walking around, definitely let him know that you saw the video :) I’m sure he’d like that. And that’s cool to know that UofT has some official partnerships with some of these schools
Hey Luca, I hope you are doing well! I appreciate that you may not be able to answer this, but how did Dr Tyndale go about obtaining his permanent residency in Canada prior to applying for medical residency? I'm aware that IMGs must have Canadian citizenship or permanent residence.
I was therefore wondering, does an IMG applicant need to be living/present in Canada for a fixed amount of time, receive his/her PR card, and then apply to Canadian residency? Or can you obtain PR whilst you're still working as a doctor in your home country prior to applying to residency in Canada?
I know this is a loaded question, but any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
Hello sir! I have a question that no one can answer to me exactly!
I’m from Afghanistan and I whenever i pass Mccqe1 examination then what will be the next step? Like for NAC-OSCE i should be there in Canada, but when i pass qe1 then they give me visa for Nac-osce or when i schedule nac-osce then they give me visa?
Can you explain it to me Sir! A lack of information about Mcc is the big issue i’ve face these days
hey, I would like to get in touch with Gavins.
Sir how much general surgeons earn in Canada? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
Please refer to my previous videos on salary for detailed explanations :)
Can a Canadian doctor work in USA without repeating the residency all over again
It depends on the specialty and the state. The process for Canadians going to the states is unfortunately more complicated than most people think In many cases. If there’s a particular state that you think you may do some work in at some point, your best bet would be to look into the requirements early and plan accordingly 🤙 the USMLE exams are also helpful in applying for a work visa
@@nxtgenmd hey sir, could you do a video on how canadian doctors could work in US?
