Psychiatry programs in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary

Hello everyone,

 

I am an M3, graduating in 2015, and pursuing either psychiatry or family medicine. Due to the very tight job market in my partner's profession, I plan to apply exclusively to large urban centers. Because my institution only gives 12 weeks of elective time, I am not able to arrange an elective at all of the sites that interest me.

 

I have already searched the forum archives and read pretty much everything about psychiatry, but I would love to hear from anyone who has personal experience or knowledge about the programs at UofT, UofC and UBC (specifically, Vancouver).

 

My specific questions would be:

 

What are the strengths and weaknesses of your program?

Are the residents generally satisfied?

Is there a strong psychotherapy training program?

How tight is the competition to match in the large urban centers?

 

I know I can get a psych residency somewhere, but I am very nervous about being stuck for five years in a place where my partner can't pursue his career. Would it be easier to match into FM than psych in Toronto or Vancouver?

 

Thanks for any help.
