wallaroo Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm a third year starting to look into the AFMC portal and applying for electives. I'm interested in Emergency and primarily applying for Emerg electives across the country. Can anyone comment on how competitive it is to obtain electives? I've heard of people with strategies where they apply every 2 weeks at the first minute the it opens up, spending $$$ on the same elective because they're applying for different times. Is this a necessary way of securing electives, or do people wait for, say 4 or 6 weeks to pass, then apply for a broader range of times? Thanks for your input!

lil_doc Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 AFMC actually released a document showing how competitive it is to get electives: https://afmc.ca/sites/default/files/documents/AFMC_StudentPortalDataVisitingElectivesNationalReport_EN.pdf Emergency medicine has about a 43% success rate for booking according to this chart.
