urologyimger Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Looking ahead to applying in a few years' time and am trying to improve my application. What would be considered a competitive applicant (education, type of electives, research, etc) based on people who have gotten in the past?

jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 so theres 2 spots in all of canada for IMG uro. Simply put you cant just be 'competitive", you have to be the best candidate there. Do everything you can in terms of 100% uro electives, as much research as you can, connections everywhere you can.

Snowmen Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 As mentioned, for IMGs, being competitive isn't enough anyway. You just have to be lucky as well. Regarding your original question, the same things that would make a CMG competitive. One thing is you have to make sure you have electives in Canada. Foreign rotations and LORs probably aren't worth much. Bambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
