MEDS 2013 CaRMS matches

This year, Schulich Medicine had 158 students in the CaRMS match. Of these, 153 were matched, many to very competitive residency positions. This included three students from past classes who re-entered the match and our graduating class.

Despite technical glitches with the CaRMS website, students were in high spirits at the annual CaRMS match day celebratory lunch held on March 5 (in London and Windsor). After countless hours of hard work, travel, electives and interviews, students were able to celebrate the long awaited moment of learning their CaRMS match.

"Upon reflection I found the process from electives to interviews and subsequently match day to be quite rewarding. Although there were times of stress, anxiety, exhaustion and uncertainty, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to meet and work with a number of people in my chosen specialty. It has certainly been one of the most gratifying experiences in my career" said Sandeep Dhaliwal, Schulich Medicine & Dentistry, Otolaryngology.

All unmatched students were from our London Program. This year, each Canadian school had unmatched students nationally, and our School's results rank among the very best in the country. However, there are five class members who, by circumstance of the CaRMS process and application to extremely competitive programs were not matched. Undergraduate Medical Education and Learner Equity and Wellness are committed to assisting each student in achieving success in the next iteration of the match process.
