skye007 Posted November 15, 2023 Report Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hi! I am applying this year to CaRMS and prior to med I was in a 2-year mid-level practitioner program that would have led to a Bachelor of Health Sciences. I only did 1 year and didn't finish the degree since I got into medicine. I am wondering if I have to include it on my CV. Some programs on the CaRMS page say "A complete curriculum vitae including all education, employment, academic and extracurricular activities." I originally didn't put it down since Tbh I often forget about this year haha, but my friend mentioned it and said I might have to or ill get in trouble if they find out. Thoughts on this? I feel like a CV you can kind of decide what you want to say. None of the programs I am applying to require any undergraduate transcripts either. Thank you!

bearded frog Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 If they ask for everything you should put everything. It won't hurt you and although I highly doubt it would come up (unlike med school applications that need transcripts) if they for some reason are reviewing your CV and ask about the gap then it can only hurt you not to include it.

Bambi Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 ^ Agreed. In Quebec, many students from Cegep go directly to med school. Give full disclosure. Once done, it is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
