Return of Service Manitoba

Hi all, 

I tried to look online for the details for ROS (IMGs) but was unable to find. In particular I had the following questions:

In what areas the ROS allocated for Gen Surg and Ortho?

Are trainees able to complete specific fellowships prior commencing their ROS?

Thanks in advance!

Very difficult question to answer.  There are not a lot of jobs available for surgeons, especially in orthopaedics. Someone else can speak to General Surgery. Getting a staff position as a new graduate anywhere (CMG or IMG) within 3-5 years of graduating would be an exceptional result.  ROS is rarely, if ever, enforced for surgeons (which is why no one is responding).  

A more common question than if you're permitted to do fellowships would be 'how many fellowships will I have to complete before I can get a job at all'.
