@leah_pierson Tldr: Medical school admissions definitely needs reform however addressing doctor shortages in ‘low-prestige fields’ requires those fields to change their compensation and practice structures to become a little bit more attractive.
@leah_pierson Rate annual compensation model for family med (fair compensation) and the direct to entry fammed medical school slots in other Cndn provinces. Similar to how Canada trains dentists.

@RuiBenedito_@JimJohnsonSci interesting tweet but I didn’t understand - how can you compare if both get cre and tamox? Are you removing the other transgene from one group (ie ptf1a)? Or removing the driver mutation (kras)? Using our old proj w/@annizubc as an example.
