someoneelse Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hey, I’m a resident in Ontario. Posting on behalf of my partner who is also a resident and applying for transfer within province and externally but hasn’t heard anything yet. Anyone else in the same boat or with any news? Would appreciate any PMs or replies. The process is exceptionally unclear with rumors of some people already having confirmed transfers? While others havent heard?

luggage Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm not applying for transfer but I do know of someone who successfully transferred programs (but same specialty) within Ontario. I think they heard back a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who transferred programs within UofT. I would ask your partner to double check with PGME transfer coordinator, they might know more. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PGME usually receives massive amount of emails, or show up in person. Unfortunately, in 2019, calling someone by phone or talk to them in person is still better than emailing, which is difficult for busy residency schedule.

It is very hard to reach anyone in the office but definitely worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

someoneelse Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm guessing the transfer round is over for the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2019CaRMS Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I'm looking to transfer specialties at the same site or to an unfilled position in another province. Unfortunately it appears that funding arrangements have undergone extreme changes in my location at least :( Applications open Jan 1st IIRC for 2019/2020 resident transfers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shematoma Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Are there any other stories of successful transfers this year (outside of CaRMS)? I'm hoping to transfer and need some examples of people succeeding at this to give me some motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear89 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I was hoping to as well but was not successful. Maybe some success stories will provide the hope we all need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also hoping to transfer (same specialty, same province), and I’m curious about what I should be doing now (ie. making connections, reaching out to people in the program I’d like to switch into, etc.). If anyone has transferred successfully, I would love to pick your brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
