Kasiunut Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I've heard that as a IMG one of the things that will help your chances the most is to do several elective rotations in Canadian med schools/hospitals during the clerkship years and obtain letters of recommendation. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Any advice would be welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenergic24 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm not sure about needing several rotations, especially if you can't fit it in or your school doesn't allow it. But you should have at least one rotation in your desired specialty. You have to go to the AFMC Student Portal to apply for rotations in Canada.

hopefulcanadian Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Reach out to each individual program for the details. Some schools have partnership agreements, others do not and rely on the lottery system as jnuts pointed out. It is pretty much a requirement to have atleast one or two rotations in the specialty you desire. For the connections. I don't know the specialty you are interested in but this is something to definitely keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
