AlexMD Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi, Quick question I could not find an answer on CARMs website or searching the forums. Are USMLE scores automatically transmitted to CARMs when applying ? If so, do you think it has any effect on your application for Canadian residency programs ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I do not believe they are. For some places if you have a higher score it can be considered Very program specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikimate Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 no they are not. You have to manually enter your USMLE ID number, should you choose. I am doubtful they will have a major positive impact, but I suppose could have a major negative impact say there's failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W0lfgang Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you have a good score it would definitely help in your application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I did not disclose my very average USMLE step 1 score for CaRMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in my neck of the woods... Won't hurt you. But won't really make you either. More "meh" then anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laika Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 It may be program dependent, but I don't think including a Step 1 score would have any significant impact (either positive or negative) on your CaRMS ranking. Most Canadian PDs probably don't know what a 'good' score is, anyway. If someone noticed that you had a poor score, they would likely assume that you were writing just to pass (for a potential future fellowship).
