gb35 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 http://www.carms.ca/eng/operations_R3reports_e.shtml So a little over a third of the people who tried for it went unmatched. Are you able to try again the following year? Or, failing that, can you still work in some rural ER's without this designation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 1) "The basic criteria to be allowed to participate in the R-3 Emergency/Family Medicine Match is to be either a R-2 resident in Family Medicine OR hold the CCFP designation." Based on this, I would think yes. 2) Yes, you can work in a rural ER without the CCFP-EM designation, and many do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Thanks. I just feel like this combo gives you a fantastic ability to customize your career, and will never leave you scrambling for work. Maybe that's just me being naive though!

Not only can you work in some ERs without the +1 year, you can sit to write the CCFP-ER examination after putting in X number of hours working in one of these ERs.

A-Stark Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Considering how few FRCPC-EMs there are around, I have my doubts that there should be much concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rswim Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Any idea how and what the reimbursement is like in bc? An Example of an GIM job in BC interior: http://www.betterhere.ca/internalmedicine/permanent/nelson.htm That seems to be pretty much what most of the job postings in the interior go for..pretty attractive once you add in all of the rural incentives. Here is another..but you wouldn't get any rural incentives to go to Kamloops: http://www.betterhere.ca/internalmedicine/permanent/kamloops.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
