@ACHQ. Interested to hear his/her input on this

Thanks french. Are you staff or resident currently? If staff, whats your setup like if you don't mind sharing? Any other input from anyone else?

Bumping OPs thread. Would also love to know

Feel like the IM ratio is misleading since it only captures spots : 1st choice applicant. A stupid number of applicants 2nded, 3rded, etc with IM. Iirc queens sent a reject email saying something like 900+ cmgs applied (basically a third of all cmgs)

There's been a Huge increases in DR competitiveness over last few years. Most recent carms data showing a ratio of 0.63 for spots : 1st choice applicants. What gives?

By splitting i mean making it look like you re aiming for multiple things. Eg. 1st gensurg, "backup IM". This could be reflected thru electives, CV (ie. Submitting generic cv that has im and gensx items), LORs (ie. Referee states applicant good for either specialty in their letter). The reason i ask is there are a ton of folks in my class who split their effort like this and fell far down their rank lost of unmatched altogether

Yeah sorry for the lack of specifiers. How aboht for hospitalist GIM vs FM doing comprehensive care both in an urban setting and both full time. And non academic position. What does the average FT GIM hospitalist work consist of? How many hours a week? How many weeks a year? What would be the range of gross billing for this sort of situation. And how about the same for a FT FM doing comprehensive care in an urban setting and only that? Suppose 9-5, 5 days a week and 48 weeks of the year, with between 25-40 patients a day.

Is there a big difference between the two? On average? In terms of median?

Anyone else end up not hearing back from several programs one way or the other? I even tried reaching out to the PDs and coordinators directly earlier this week and nothing still.

Has sask im sent invitations for the 11th?

Do carms participants have a higher success rate of matching to top 3 than US/NRMP counterparts? Looking at the recent red dit thread for NRMP and it looks like a lot of people end up quite far down their ROL (5-10) or unmatched altogether

For mid-highly competitive specialties, are the odds of matching to a program in a less popular location (eg. Manitoba, sask) a lot higher than programs in a popular location (eg. UofT, UBC). Do the former tend to go a lot further down their ROL than the latter?
