Same goes for ID at UBC. We know this year will be different and we look forward to meeting everyone for interviews in the fall. Also, happy to meet ID hopefuls virtually and tell you all about our great program! PM me!
To all those applying for Med Onc at UBC for the fall match - we want to reassure you that we will consider all applications even if you didn’t do an UBC elective or could not do a rotation in onc. It’s a difficult time and we understand that!

Ok, here is a little #Tweetorial about #COVID19 and whether, outside of a controlled trial, we should be using different: 1. rules for anti-coagulation/ lytics 2. ventilatory settings in ARDS 3. anti-virals/ anti-inflammatories
