Mashmetoo Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Does any know the usual interview months for Canadian schools (CaRMs)? I'm only interested in BC and Ontario if that makes a difference. Will the interview months be different for US students compared to Canadian students?

Mourning Cloak Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The national interview period (1st round) for 2013 for CMGs (and equivalents) was January 19 - February 10, 2013 As a general rule, you're looking at a (defined) four week period in late January / early February. (Dates may vary somewhat for IMGs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dates may vary somewhat for IMGs) Thanks. I read that part on carms: http://www.carms.ca/eng/r1_1stIteration_e.shtml **January 19 - February 10, 2013 National interview period Interviews for current-year Canadian medical school graduates from out-of-town universities are conducted during this three-week period. Interviews for applicants at their own schools and for international medical graduates are coordinated separately with no national specific time period.** Are you 100% sure that the January 19 - feb 10 2013 dates also referred to US graduates (CMG equivalents?). So all the US MDs would have interviewed at Canadian schools during that time as well correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame219 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yes, that is the correct timeframe for US MDs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashmetoo Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, that is the correct timeframe for US MDs as well. Thanks for the clarification! Do you know if the interviews will happen on the weekends as well, or are they weekdays exclusively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, can I ask which schools offered Sunday interviews and Saturday interviews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame219 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 So these socials are basically informal gatherings between the candidates and the residents and program director. They're usually in the night, at the bar/dinner. As for which schools, it really depends on the program and it differs between different specialties.

cardiomegaly Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Schedules for each specialty vary year to year. For smaller programs they can go East-West or vice versa, for larger programs they will often have multiple interview dates. The official schedule doesn't come out till some time in late November/December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for which schools, it really depends on the program and it differs between different specialties. also depends on any given year as well. and all of this depends of course on first round vs second round of CARMS.
