Julie Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't know if I understand your question or not, but I'll try : To become a pediatrician, you must first get your MD diploma. This means you can apply to any medical school, for their 4 yr medicine program. In your fourth year, you will apply to CARMS, the Canadian Residency Matching Service. That's where you choose your specialty. CARMS is a matching system, meaning that they will try to match you to a residency program based on your preferences as well as the people offering the residency spots' preferences. If you do match to pediatrics, you will do your residency (4-5 years of further training) and then will be able to call yourself a pediatrician! You can check the site for CARMS for more details on the residency programs offered by each school (http://www.carms.ca), but really I'd focus on getting into med school first.

frenchfrog Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm not sure if it will help to answer you in French. I apologize if not: Puisque vous êtes (je présume) une résidente du Québec, vous avez sans doute de plus grandes chances à entrer en médecine si vous faites application aux écoles québecoises (Sherbrooke, Montréal, Laval). Je crois que ces écoles donnent priorité aux étudiants qui viennent du Québec. Comme l'autre fille a dit, après avoir reçu votre M.D., vous pourriez essayer d'entrer en pédiatrie (via Carms) à n'importe quelle école au Canada.
