Wut? Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 And in the grand scheme of things, CARMS match statistics don't matter one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDo Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Rank (descending) % matched to first choice Sask 96.7 Western 96.1 Ottawa 95.3 Calgary 94.8 Toronto 94.5 Dal 94.3 Manitoba 93.3 McGill 92.4 McMaster 91 BC 90.9 Alberta 90.8 Queens 90.6 MUN 89.5 Montreal 87.8 Sherby 83.9 Laval 83 wouldn't there be somewhat variable from year to year, depending on how many students pick family med as their first choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanJ Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 This is almost entirely dependent on each student's ranking strategy and not so much on each school's education. ie: at U of A lots of people go for more competitive residencies some years, so the first choice match rate is lower. If everyone wanted family, internal, etc. the match rate would be higher for that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary places just as competitively as Alberta, and last year U of A actually had a considerably larger proportion of people placing into family medicine than U of C. http://www.carms.ca/pdfs/2008R1_MatchResults/16Proportion%20of%20Canadian%20Graduates%20Choosing%20Family%20Medicine%20as%20a%201st%20Choice%20by%20Faculty_en.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to say that individual matching strategy matters more than the school you go to, which most people agree. Specialty choice is only one aspect of matching. I wouldn't say it was way off, even for 2008. U of A had more applicants to family, but also more for gas, emerg, surgery, optho, and U of C had more applicants for internal, as well as some other competitive ones. But I don't know which are the applicants that did something stupid (ie: going for plastics and only ranking two programs). This is an automatic huge fail. Basically I'm saying choosing a school for its carms success is foolish, because if you suck you're not going to get plastics/optho/ent/whatever anyways.

Jochi1543 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 lol @ the three french speaking schools Well, they probably have a lot fewer spots available. I mean, they can only match within their 3 schools (unless they are also fluent English speakers), so that makes things more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
