LuciaLeah Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I am interested in applying for pathology in the second iteration as a CMG who didn't match in the first iteration. Does anyone know if pathology is reasonable to get into in the second iteration? I have done some shadowing but no formal electives in the field. In addition, I have heard negative things about McMaster's pathology program but no one can give me concrete answers as to what, and I'm unsure how concerned I should be?

shikimate Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 When it's competitive stream, you have to compete with IMGs or CSAs who may be more qualified on paper. For example, a lot of IMGs have pathology related graduate degrees or research experience. Some CSA would've done electives in pathology because it's known to be more IMG/CSA friendly. Your application is far from a sure shot, because you have minimal exposure. If I were you I'd apply to every program possible and just hope for the best, you can't be picky in round 2.
