familymedorbust Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Does anyone have a running list of which FM interviews are open or closed? So far I know UBC, UofT, and McMaster are closed? Is there somewhere specific to look (a lot of the programs do not mention it on carms.ca) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaRMS2021 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Queens is open (they receive the file reviewers comments; be careful if your CV highly suggests a specialty that’s not FM bc they will ask why) familymedorbust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of, would anyone be willing to swap interview dates? I'm currently scheduled for the 10th and would love a spot on the 8th if possible.

Samic1988 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hello Guys, I was wondering how do you deal with stress and anxiety until April 12, it gets worsen as we move forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an easy answer but I personally always feel better after putting things into perspective. Not too long ago, my dream was to be accepted to medical school. If only that could happen. It was the only thing that I was asking the universe. I was convinced that once it would happen, that would be it. That was the biggest stress of my life. If only I got into medicine. From that point, I wouldn't have to worry about anything. Right So I like to remind myself that each year, thousands of students and applicants devote time, money and tremendous efforts in the hopes of getting a privileged spot in a medical school in Canada. In parallel, an enormous amount of foreign trained graduates dream of having interviews in residency programs in Canada. Here I am, living what I was dreaming for, living in a safe and fair country, healthy and about to graduate from a medical school that did not put me into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and am awaiting answers from several programs that I was fortunate to interview at. Sure, I worked hard but luck played a big role in all of this, at least for me. No miracles will happen on April 12th but I have faith that in the end, you end where you should. The beauty of our process is that you can apply as many times as you wish, anywhere that you want. Rank only programs you are truly willing to attend. If you end up not matching, apply in second round or next year and come back as a stronger and more experienced candidate. Most of all, enjoy this time before residency starts. Best of luck to you all! caramelpanic, Patapouf33, Me31 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to scare above posters but some school wont allow you to extend clerkship,and they will ask you to apply to whatever is available in second round. I know so so many Ortho, ENT, Urolology, Derm, Optho, Plastics gunners who are currently in my FM program and they are not the happiest. 3 hours ago, Samic1988 said: Hello Guys, I was wondering how do you deal with stress and anxiety until April 12, it gets worsen as we move forward If you applied to FM, don't worry!

I am quite surprised that it would be different (hence unfair) in the rest of Canada. At my school, they can ask someone to apply to second round but you can decide not to. They don't extend clerkship. So you can simply graduate medical school, go unmatched in the first round, not asking for clerkship extension and spend a year doing whatever you want before the next cycle. I know it's sounds easier said than done but I heard of a few residents that did that and go their ENT/Plastics/etc. spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a little match day countdown and bookmarked it on my laptop ahaha. Sometimes I wish we had as much chatter going on here as the US students on r_eddit and SDN. It feels lonely, the waiting.

Anxious around ranking these. Don’t quite understand what you mean that you’re anxious about ranking them. Even if they’re competitive, you should rank sites in the order of your interest in them. There’s no harm in ranking something you’re less likely to match to over something you’re more likely to match to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
