Residents Medical Group Creates Pathways For Residency

May 25, 2022 | Business



Undertaking a medical residency is mandatory for all US medical school graduates for them to be able to work as full-time physicians.



The rationale behind this is that, in their role as medical residents working in a real hospital or medical facility environment, the medical school graduates will learn the soft skills and attain the emotional stability and maturity expected of a good, empathetic, and competent physician.



In other words, students acquire knowledge and learn the requisite skills relevant to their specialty during their stay at the medical school. However, working in a real-world and often high-stress medical environment calls for several other skills.



These include the ability to make sound decisions in emergencies; several soft skills such as teamwork, conflict resolution, time management, problem-solving, creative thinking, etc. And it is mainly during one’s medical residency or graduate medical education program that a future physician takes their first steps toward mastering these skills.



Thanks to its affiliation with top US medical schools and health institutions and its collaboration with Residents Medical Group, it has built up a model to find the best residency and fellowship match for every graduate passing through US medical schools.



Alongside Residents Medical Group, The Everest Foundation, a non-profit managed by Dr. Michael Everest and Agata Everest, known for its contribution to raising the standards of graduate medical education and research across the country, aids in helping medical graduates.



The extensive network of Residents Medical Group means that it is best to integrate a candidate into an accredited residency and internship program that perfectly matches the candidate’s skills, credentials, and future goals.



Residents Medical Group has two main ’pathways to placement’ programs to find the right graduate medical education match for all applicants: Clinical to Residency and Research to Residency.



The first is designed to integrate an applicant into an ACGME accredited program through extensive guidance and mentorship by the Residents Medical Group’s residency specialist counselors.



Residents Medical Group has its own evaluation program for all applicants. The evaluation is based on several criteria, including a candidate’s present level of skills, experience, USMLE scores, and more.



Based on this evaluation, candidates are either prepared for direct ’clinical to residency’ programs at top medical institutions in the country. Or, they are advised to undergo Residents Medical Group’s own well-crafted preparatory programs such as ’Extended Medical Externship to Residency’ or ’Unaccredited PGY-1 to Residency.’



According to Residents Medical Group, these programs are designed as the most effective pathways or avenues to find one’s dream residency in the US or globally.



Research to residency programs are meant for students interested in medical research. According to this pathway, deserving applicants are accepted into one of Residents Medical Group’s exclusive paid-research fellowship programs.



These research fellowships are conducted at ACGME accredited teaching hospitals and are available to US and international medical school students and graduates.



These fellowships are integrated into residency training positions, meaning that the researchers can begin their residency at the end of their paid-research tenures.

******************************************************************************************


     The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, attended COVID-19 vaccination events in Eastern District and Ma On Shan today (September 26). He appealed to members of the public, in particular the elderly, to seize the opportunity to get vaccinated before the winter influenza season arrives and encourage family members and friends who are not yet vaccinated to receive vaccination as early as possible.
 
     Around 140 people attended the vaccination event at Hong Kong Central Library. After a health talk, the participants could choose to receive Sinovac vaccination at the Community Vaccination Centre (CVC) at Hong Kong Central Library or BioNTech vaccination at the CVC at Sai Wan Ho Sports Centre. The event was co-organised by the Eastern District Office, the Eastern and Wan Chai District Social Welfare Office and various organisations.
 
     Meanwhile, the Government’s outreach vaccination team provided the BioNTech vaccination service to about 65 residents of a private housing estate in Ma On Shan. This is the first time that the property management company of a housing estate has taken the lead to gather residents who want to receive COVID-19 vaccination to participate in outreach vaccination.
 
     “To take care of ourselves and our family members, we all have to understand the importance and urgency of receiving COVID-19 vaccination. In the face of the continued severe global pandemic situation and challenges posed by mutant strains, we must make concerted efforts and do our best to increase the vaccination rate. Basically, persons who are suitable for vaccination should get vaccinated. Both COVID-19 vaccines available in Hong Kong are safe and highly effective in protecting against severe disease and death from COVID-19 infection,” Mr Nip said.
 
     All eligible persons who want to receive COVID-19 vaccination can collect same-day tickets from 21 CVCs under the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme so that they can get vaccinated without prior booking.
 
     The Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases and the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases under the Centre for Health Protection of the Department of Health recommend that elderly persons should receive COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible, as long as they are not suffering from acute illnesses. All elderly persons who have previously received influenza vaccines can safely receive COVID-19 vaccines.

Canada – Residents of the Northwest Territories to benefit from upgrades to wastewater and solid waste infrastructure

Sep 23, 2021 | International

Today, Michael McLeod, Member of Parliament for the Northwest Territories, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Shane Thompson, Territorial Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, announced joint funding for seven wastewater and solid waste projects across the Northwest Territories.

Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, August 12, 2021— Across the country, Canadians are feeling the impacts of COVID-19 on their families, their livelihoods, and their way of life. Together, the governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories are taking decisive action to support families, businesses and communities to ensure community infrastructure is safe and reliable, while looking ahead to see what more can be done in these unprecedented times.

Today, Michael McLeod, Member of Parliament for the Northwest Territories, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, and the Honourable Shane Thompson, Territorial Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, announced joint funding for seven wastewater and solid waste projects across the Northwest Territories.

The Government of Canada is investing over $5.1 million in these projects through the Green Infrastructure Stream (GIS) of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Government of the Northwest Territories, Northwest Territories’ communities and Indigenous recipients are providing more than $1.7 million towards these projects.

Among the projects funded, improvements to the Fort Smith landfill will increase the Town’s capacity to manage and treat solid waste and reduce landfill by approximately 50% by diverting organic waste. Once completed, the upgrades to the Fort Smith landfill will provide residents with an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective waste management system for years.

All orders of government continue to work together for Northerners to make strategic infrastructure investments in communities across the territory when they need it the most.

“Ensuring that communities across the Northwest Territories have modern wastewater and solid waste infrastructure is vital to building strong communities and ensuring capacity for future growth while protecting the environment. Through the Investing in Canada Plan, the Government of Canada invests in thousands of infrastructure projects in all areas of the country, creating jobs and strengthening communities at a time when it is needed most.”

Michael McLeod, Member of Parliament for the Northwest Territories, on behalf of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Federal Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

“In partnership, Federal, Territorial, Indigenous and Community Governments are committed to investing in infrastructure projects with the intent of increasing the quality of life for NWT residents. To this end, we are further investing in projects that address communities’ needs for upgrades to solid waste and wastewater facilities. These projects will increase capacity at existing facilities to allow for safer and more efficient core infrastructure.”

The Honourable Shane Thompson, Territorial Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs

“The Town of Fort Smith’s Landfill Expansion project supports our strategic goal of becoming a leader in sustainability and in achieving the objectives identified in the Town of Fort Smith’s Waste Management Strategy. This has enabled us to rethink what we do with waste and take the necessary action to manage it better. The long term health of the environment depends on us.”

Hong Kong – Relatives of residents of residential care homes for elderly participate in health talk on vaccination (with photos)

Relatives of residents of residential care homes for elderly participate in health talk on vaccination (with photos)

******************************************************************************************


    About 170 family members of residents of residential care homes for the elderly (RCHEs) participated in a health talk on vaccination in Lai Chi Kok in person or online, the first specifically held for relatives of RCHE residents today (September 4). During the talk, several volunteer doctors briefed the participants about information on the COVID-19 vaccines and provided them with one-on-one consultation service after the talk. Arrangements were also made for some participants to visit a nearby Community Vaccination Centre for vaccination afterwards.
      
     Attending the event to promote about COVID-19 vaccination, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Patrick Nip, said, “With the appearance of the highly transmissible mutant strain, keeping up the anti-epidemic efforts at residential care homes is of utmost importance. However, less than 10 per cent of RCHE residents have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. To encourage them to get vaccinated, the support and encouragement from their family is very important.”
      
     “Some RCHE residents or their family members may not have a thorough understanding of the vaccines. They are also not sure if the physical conditions of residents are suitable for vaccination and may have a mistaken belief that it is fine for them not to get vaccinated. In fact, elderly persons are the group of persons that should get vaccinated immediately in view of the comparatively higher risk for infected elderly to fall seriously ill and die. I appeal to those family members who are still hesitant to act and encourage their relatives to get vaccinated as soon as possible. This is the best way to show their care and love for their family members. Both COVID-19 vaccines available in Hong Kong are safe and highly effective in protecting against severe diseases and death from COVID-19 infection.”
      
     “With the immense support and efforts by a number of enthusiastic persons today, in particular the Hong Kong Geriatrics Society and those volunteer doctors, we hope that residents of RCHEs, their family members or elderly persons will understand that we all should learn more about the COVID-19 vaccines in an objective manner and get vaccinated as soon as possible.”
      
     Mr Nip expressed gratitude to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, RCHEs of Po Leung Kuk and RCHEs in Sham Shui Po district for assisting in inviting family members of residents of their RCHEs to attend the talk. Today’s event was jointly organised by the Civil Service Bureau, the Social Welfare Department and the Department of Health.
