coolioyo Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am a senior at a U.S. medical school, I successfully matched into an advanced program in the U.S. However, I haven't had luck finding any preliminary medicine spots. I am also a Canadian citizen. I would like to look at my options in Canada. Can somebody please tell me what are my options and how I would go about applying to Canadian preliminary medicine programs for July 2011. Is there anywhere I can check for unfilled spots. I didn't use CaRMS. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justletmein Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well, you missed the boat for 2nd round of carms.... It may be possible to negotiate the few (if any) spots that remain unfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnxiousBoy Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have not heard of a one year medicine prelim in canada. That seems like a pure american thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 There's no such thing as internships, preliminary or transitional spots in canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquail Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Of course, there are no prelim/transitional/any 1-year entry programs in Canada. But theoretically, if you did a year of internal medicine in an accredited Canadian residency, it probably will be accepted as a PGY-1 year before an advanced program, depending on the specialty. For example, for neurology, ACGME guidelines (http://www.acgme.org/acWebsite/downloads/RRC_progReq/180_neurology_07012010.pdf) say: "Residents must have one year of broad clinical experience in general internal medicine either during the first year of a 48-month program or a year of graduate education accredited by the ACGME or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada prior to entering a 36-month program."
