FOR ALL NATIONAL TRANSFERS, residents are strongly encouraged to apply for positions through the second iteration of CaRMS; however, please note the following: 

  • Some universities require applicants to submit specific situational judgement test results as a part of their CaRMS application, e.g. FMProC for Family Medicine; Casper for Diagnostic Radiology and Pediatrics. Carefully read the admission requirements listed on all program descriptions, and note exam registration deadlines and sitting dates. The second iteration of CaRMS is a compressed timeline with firm application deadlines.
  • All matches through CaRMS are contractually binding. Only apply to programs and universities you are willing to go to; once matched, you cannot withdraw.
