ChemPetE Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Family medicine unfilled spots total = 253/351. Brutal for family med (and not a surprise). Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naruto Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Why are spots for derm and anesthesia available in the 2nd round? Especially in desirable areas like Ottawa? The spots are listed as "competitive" and not "CMG" so were they IMG spots that are now open to everyone? Or are the programs planning for transfers? t2n1n4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had multiple schools listed ahead of where I matched, including UofT, and I applied for Psych. How is this possible? Is there nothing I can do to address this?

It’s too bad because the UofA is actually a great program, and there’s a lot of advantages to practicing FM in Alberta. But the politics is killing our reputation, I don’t blame people for not wanting to come here. ChemPetE and cardio_enjoyer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I figured but this is just so suprising to see. I literally see entire sites that did not fill their spots at all and this is disheartening as I would love a 2nd round chance at them, this whole think makes so little sense to me now. canada747 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then this truly seems unpreceded based on how matches have gone in the past. I really hope there is a way to appeal to decisions like this. Otherwise, being bound to your first round ranking seems very unfair considering how much the climate seems to have changed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaRMS sucks and is truly unfair. Speaking as a current resident, I know many people (myself included) who ended up places they did not want to be, but there is no route to appeal This is why they do stress not ranking places/programs you do not want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel that factors that we would take into account for this decision making process have changed dramatically when it seems as if all of a sudden schools shifted from filling in basically all their spots in the first round three years ago to leaving perhaps 20% of them available for the second round. To me, this no longer seems like we are dealing with the same process that this advice was previously provided towards. Saying "I wouldn't be willing to train at this school" is far different than saying "I would be interested in this school provided there are not 8+ other schools with opportunities to join in the second round". But that's just my 2 cents, thank for the reply peony1357 and ChemPetE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unarmed walrus Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Could someone clarify the meaning of "Competitive stream" in the list of leftover/unmatched spots for the second round? Is there any way of knowing whether these spots were CMG vs IMG spots that went unfilled in the first round? I'm very interested in particular at the unmatched U of T psychiatry position, which is typically very desirable. Wondering if they just didn't rank a whole bunch of CMGs they interviewed, or if this is perhaps a leftover IMG spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
