I've heard back from UBC, McGill. Anyone else hear back from other schools yet?

[A-Stark]

Yep, Dal today. Also Ottawa anesthesia and Dal IM (though that's just a notification to notify - Dal applicants were given a choice of when to interview).

[hmahal]

A-Stark...dal for general surgery too ?

[A-Stark]

Sorry, yes that's what I meant.

Mac FRCP Emergency sent out invites last week.

 

Just a heads up, I have yet to hear from any other EM programs.

[Enoughalready]

[semiramis]

hmahal - so far from this thread and from friends, the schools that have sent out gen sx interview invites are:

dalhousie

laval

mcgill

u of alberta

ubc

 

none others that i've heard so far, but i'm prob. just as nervous as you are - so cross fingers and keep posted here i guess!

i have heard that they are much slower than FM/paeds/IM so patience i guess??

Are you studying in Canada or US?

 

For CMG's studying in Canada, I think 4 is probably the magic number, but for US grads I would go to as many interviews as possible to maximize my chances.
