Xalimo Gets Into Prestigious Canadian Medical School

[Helios]

Fatimah Roble, 24, is a member of the group of newly admitted Black medical students, and hopes the new cohort is only the beginning of a larger shift in Canadian health care.

“I think the University of Toronto is definitely taking a step in the right direction by not just promoting diversity but making meaningful and impactful change,”

“I’d like to see other schools follow in their footsteps.”

Mashallah

Most of the black cohort are overwhelmingly African: Nigerians, surprisingly Ethiopians (most are Christian) and Ghanians. There’s a few Somalis. The U of T initiative seems to be working which is good.

The only concern for me is that graduating black med schools typically go for primary medicine such as Family. I really would love for them to go into the higher paying fields such as Dermatology (super super competitive but the pay is really great) or Radiology or Anesthesiology. The indhoyaars and yahuuds go into those fields, there’s a reason for that.

Thats something they need to work on. Typically those placements are competitive which means those other people must be doing better in class.

It’s not just grades. It’s super competitive because there’s so few spots, everyone wants them. Not only that, you need to have research publications, clinical experience, stellar references and other stuff to pad your resume. The states is easier relatively speaking because there’s more spots available.

mashallah I wish her the best

Well said. And often times it's about who know at those hospitals.

Or more like which clinical director does your dad play golf with?

Mashallah. The bakhti Jamaican wannabe faraxs of Toronto should stop shooting each other for a moment and take note.

 

[Parailia somalensis]

Why claim her as Somali when she abandoned the hijab and claims blacks? Most Western Somali women go to college/university and forsake their deen and culture. They chase dunya over their hereafter.

Majority of our Western Somali guys excel both in this dunya and work towards their path to janah.

That may be true, but it doesn't change the fact that Toronto is running out of cemetery space thanks to these buffoons.

 

[Juke]

Both are true. I’m doing u a favour, trying to rehabilitate your rep but ok.

You're only spraying febreze on a dumpster, the guys need to do better.

 

[Juke]

So this has nothing to do with pushing this narrative that “Most Somali guys in Toronto suck, but not me so igu so yaaca.”

Cuz I be smelling a bit of that ngl.

It's really DO better guys so we're not at the bottom anymore. Enough faan

Congrats to her mashallah! I’m glad the North American diaspora is catching up with the uk regarding this

 

[Crow]

If Toronto is running out of cemetery space it’s prob bc of Corona.
