darknight Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 For anyone interested, a quick access to last year's stats http://carms.ca/eng/operations_R1stat_2006_e.shtml I am a little confused about these stats, if cardiac surgery is so competitive? why did 100% of applicants match? I thought this was a very competitive specialty so i am a little confused about that, the only explanation i have is that everyone thought they weren't good candidates and didn't bother applying and a very small handful that thought they were comptitive applied and got it Even for opthalmology, ~66% who applied matched are they considered very competitive because all the applicants are really strong and there really is no big variability in strengths/weaknesses so its really hard to cut anyone so applicants need to work hard to get that inch up over everyone else? (in comparison to med school when you have a lot of people whose gpas are from 3.6 - 4.0, and variable ECs from no hospital volunteering to tons of volunteering so its 'easier' to cut out people) Its just my wacky interpretation, Im sure there's something im overlooking.

unknown user 7 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Wow, im surprised at how many spaces were open for internal meds and general surgery. I was really astonished by how many family meds vacancies were there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsteen Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Wow, im surprised at how many spaces were open for internal meds and general surgery. Hey there, That was last year. This year, there were apparently no Gen Surg spots leftover after the first round of the match. Cheers, Kirsteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darknight Posted May 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 thank you very much for CaRMS hits record number of grads. it talks at very high level of FP only. I didn't understand what you were trying to say, highest grad number (understandable due to more attracted IMGs) and most FP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
