jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 any ideas why ottawa psych always has so many unfilled spots? 2 last year, 3 this year... also odd that western had an unfilled spot too. Guess psych isnt as competitive as people are saying it will be, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midi Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 The unfilled derm spot is the IMG one Ottawa usually leaves open for transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlkhhylyiluh6 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 looks like IM was way less competitive this year than last year as well. People were starting to really worry about that lol. Also jeez, nobody wants to go to saskachewan eh. So many unfilled spots across the board, ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasquatchfever Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 beeboop the SK stats are alright with me! So many great docs and teachers here, I'd be stoked to do residency here, especially in Regina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt look like theres many unfilled positions aside from the very undesirable locations (or return of service residency programs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterCanon Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Super weird that essentially all those unfilled IM spots are in SK - what the heck is going on with that program?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvantes Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Was backing up with Radiation Oncology, interesting to see how that jumped in competitiveness this year. I matched to MUN rads so I'm ecstatic, but had my Sask rads interview rescinded as I did not do casper. I would have been happy there as well. Over the moon with my match though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humhum Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Wow, what is going on in Calgary? 11 (!!!) FM residency spots unfilled... 1 Anesthesia unfilled... 1 Vascular surgery unfilled... And I'm looking at this list and envy those people who wanted to to FM or IM as first choice, and applied widely. You are virtually guaranteed to match on the first iteration, with a little bit of an open mind about where you would be willing to move to.

Isn't that the "normal" situation in CARMS though - as much as anything is normal. Last year was an outlier with IM but for most (again most isn't all) people in most years that apply to FM or IM broadly will get it somewhere.

I think the number of unfilled spots in a highly desirable city like Calgary is a very significant outlier this year. We have not seen double digit open spots in a top living quality city in FM for half a decade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
