Saska2 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Are the Canadian Armed Forces going to offer to pick up unmatched students like they did last year? Asking for a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiphoid Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think they probably will. They were offering like 70+ spots last year, but only got 6 and they're currently already very short on physicians. Quite a few of the MOTP spots were unfilled in the first iteration of CaRMS this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend They'll roll it out when 2nd round ends. Last year was a $150k signing bonus for unmatched students and a 5 year RoS which includes 2 years residency. After residency there's about 6 months collective of basic and officers training. Call the recruiters NOW if you are worried about being unmatched as the application is quite long and the security check +CFAT if they don't wave it again can drag out the applications https://forces.ca/en/career/medical-officer All glory to the Murdercube! / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scintillating Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I just got an e-mail about the MTOP surge today. Good luck to everyone hoping for a match in round 2 tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardiacsurgeon91 Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 For MOTP do you need to have your medical degree? What if you are graduating just this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graduating from med school? The original version of this program had people going into it at the start of med school if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Brule Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I'm thinking of applying when I'm done residency. There are some serious perks to going military. I went through their recruitment last year and they seemed very interested in me, but I have some medical problems that, while are completely controlled, might keep me out.

I just received an email from CAF that the participating universities have made their selection, and now they are planning for possibly another MOTP Surge for 2020. I did not receive anything from the uni that I interviewed at, so I assume I was not selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it turn into a scramble like in the US? If you're interested in FM, there were still some spots left over outside of Quebec (MUN, NOSM, Manitoba). If you were thinking of doing MOTP then eventually doing a different specialty, maybe look at Manitoba? The program comes with a 2 year ROS with re-rentry for further training when it's done.

There were only 2 family med and 1 public health and preventative medicine spots at NOSM in post match for competitive stream. The deadline for both are long gone. There was barely anything left for IMGs to apply to both in second iteration and postmatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
