+1 years

[Diceroll2011]

Are you only able to apply for a plus one year directly following your family residency? And if not, is there a limit on the number of years you can apply?

I don't believe so, perhaps it's program dependant? I think the major issues are

1. once you are out in the real world making money its hard to become a resident again

2. your source of references dwindles because you no longer have supervisors seeing how great you are...

You can apply within 2 years of graduating your family medicine residency.

 

But yes, most people find it best to do it right after R2 primarily for financial reasons. I know I personally would find it very difficult to be motivated to scut with a smile on my face for someone else for $60K/yr after having been staff and paid accordingly....

R3 @ 60K? Oh how nice it must be to be in a province with money...

I believe you can apply at any time, however you must go through the Re-Entry Program. At least in Ontario, the MOHLTC runs it. Something like 20 family med (including pgy3s) and 20 specialty and 10 subspecialty positions are available.

 

It's outside of the carms match, depends on availability and comes with a return of service. Google it, should be easy to find.
