My schedule is variable so please send me a message to arrange a session.

Hi there!

My name is Richard. I was born and raised in Edmonton did my BSc in Honors Pharmacology from the UofA amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and recently graduated medical school. I'm now an anesthesiology resident in Edmonton.

What was special about my medical school admissions journey was that I have applied before, and during the pandemic, as well as having interviewed both in person and virtually. I was also fortunate enough to interview at many universities across Canada allowing me to have experienced many interview formats such as the MMI, panel, and everything in-between! It can be overwhelming preparing for virtual interviews or knowing how to tailor your application to your experiences during this unprecedented pandemic. With my experience, I’ll be able to provide some insight and tips to navigate these challenges of the application and interview. Additionally, I have been immersed heavily in research and been part of peer-reviewed scientific publications which allowed me to interview for multiple combined MD/PhD programs across Canada.  This allows me to support you if you are thinking to pursue research and medicine!

Given that I've gone through CaRMS recently, I'm most familiar with residency applications and interviews, and may not be fully up-to-date with medical school admissions (although I try my best!). I'll do my best to help whether you're an aspiring medical student, of if you're applying to Canadian residency programs.
