Hi, we are Akeel and Tanay.
We grew up in Toronto and started a six-year direct-entry medical program in Ireland right after high school, at 18. Nobody had told us what that would cost or how we would get home afterward.
We learned about money mostly on our own. Clinic to Capital is where we write down what we find. It started with Canadians studying abroad in mind. It now covers students, residents and physicians in Canada and the US, and pre-meds are welcome too.

What you can expect
Practical advice
We write about decisions you will actually face: loans, exams, match fees, your first resident paycheque.
A source for every figure
Numbers link to the page they came from, usually CaRMS, the NRMP, ECFMG or a government site.
A note when we are unsure
If we could not confirm something, the article says so instead of guessing.
What you should not expect
Advice tailored to you.
We are medical students, not licensed advisors.
