photato Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 On the CaRMS survey, one of the options on the match status question is something along the lines of "yes I matched but chose to enter a different program". Does anyone know what this is referring to or how this is possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blah1234 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Residency-wise perhaps they had also applied to the US or some other country. I'm not too familiar with match timelines outside of Canada. Does that option also include doing like a PhD or something? I find it hard to believe that someone could simply break the CaRMS employment contract and enter another program in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemPetE Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Ehhhhh... stuff happens. Know of people who got interviews to programs who allegedly missed the application deadlines, another person who needed emergency surgery on the tour who allegedly didn’t match and then room was found at amtheir top of the list program (they also wanted them too) so they was the best case outcome in the end for a horrifying scenario. Don’t know if any of these breaks carms contracts but truly I’m happy it worked out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the way I interpreted the original prompt is you had already matched to another program and then somehow left to go to another program. In the situations, you mentioned there was no contract formed as one didn't match and the other was just an interview situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who match in Canada through CaRMS must stay, so are automatically withdrawn from the NRMP if they were registered in that one too.

When I did the survey that’s how I interpreted it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
