do you guys know when the letter for program transfers for current PGY-1s will be sent from the PGME office ?

I heard that there is a letter that will be sent to all PGY-1s in early January  regarding potential program transfers but I havent received anything.. did i miss it ? 

is it pushed back due to the whole carms delay ?

 

thanks

School-dependent, my school has sent it already.

They send to the PGME office, not to residents directly.

No. They said their program has sent it [to the other programs]. This isn't super secret or anything, the procedure is literally posted at https://afmc.ca/en/priorities/resident-transfer-program.

"The HOME PGME Office will forward the list of candidates for consideration to each RECEIVING PGME Office, by April 30. (Template to be provided and agreed upon by all schools)"

Or, you know, that I've been in residency for four years, have investigated the transfer process, and have never heard of people receiving emails directly.
