Loot Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 Anyone know how many interview invites each school sends out? I've heard UofT interviews loads of people. Any clue about the other schools?
A-Stark Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 UofT and Western seem to interview just about everyone; pretty much everywhere else is more selective, but it's apparently only a more recent thing due to increased applicants. Ten years ago anesthesia wasn't as popular for whatever reason, and one staff I worked with applied after the application deadlines while doing her first anesthesia rotation, asked to be ranked, and matched.
Loot Posted April 14, 2013 Author Report Posted April 14, 2013 Just to follow up, here is what I picked up on the interview trail: UBC - very selective - 45? Saskatchewan - everybody/most? Manitoba - selective - 50? Western - everybody - 130 McMaster - everybody Toronto - almost everyone - 110 - most interviewed, but not everyone Queens - very selective - 45? Ottawa - selective McGill - selective - 75? Memorial - everybody/most? Dalhousie - selective - 75?
lychee Posted October 13, 2013 Report Posted October 13, 2013 Thanks for this thread -- great for planning the upcoming year! I'd be interested in knowing selectivity for interviews at Calgary and the UofA if anyone has insight. Happy Thanksgiving!
HBP Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Anyone know about whether doing an Ottawa anesthesia elective post carms application (pre-interviews though), would hinder my chances at interviewing there?
KennethToronto Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 I haven't counted the number of interviewees on my sheet, but it seems like UofT is being more selective pre-interviews this year
kinemed Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 2014 so far Dal - selective - 66 MUN - about 80? selective vs. # who accepted interview Western - most/all Mac - most/all Ottawa - selective - about 60? Queen's - selective - about 60? Toronto - most/all? NOSM - most/all? UBC - very selective - 45 Calgary - very selective post-phone interview - about 45 We haven't hit Edmonton, Winnipeg, or Sask yet Quebec schools - didn't apply
DJDakoo Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 Kind of a long stretch, but does anyone know how many IMG candidates are interviewed at each school?
KennethToronto Posted November 20, 2014 Report Posted November 20, 2014 Kind of a long stretch, but does anyone know how many IMG candidates are interviewed at each school? Don't know about other schools, but at UofT, quite a few IMG candidates were interviewed. Very tough pool.
CharmingHedgehog Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 was told ottawa receives usually ~ 100 apps, and interview ~50. For all elective students at Ottawa, they will pull your rotation evals when they process your application. So on electives, should try to work with at least one person on the interview committee. There are 5-6 people on the interview committee, and each of them reads apps from a particular area of the country.
DJDakoo Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Don't know about other schools, but at UofT, quite a few IMG candidates were interviewed. Very tough pool. What do you mean when you say "very tough pool"? Are most IMGs qualified anesthesiologists already practicing in different countries?
CharmingHedgehog Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 What do you mean when you say "very tough pool"? Are most IMGs qualified anesthesiologists already practicing in different countries? The ones I've met were Canadians educated in other countries. Not sure how many foreign trained practicing anesthesiologists enter the match this way. They may also have fellowship opportunities
beirut Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 any sense of how many interviews each school offered this year? also, any sense of the relative strengths and weaknesses of each school, in particular the Ontario schools?
