2022 Recruitment update: CaRMS interviews are proceeding in a virtual format again in 2022 (and 2023). The CaRMS recruitment dates are rapidly approaching. This is always an exciting time of year where we have the opportunity to show our enthusiasm and demonstrate to applicants why this is a great residency training program.
We have held a number of virtual information sessions for applicants as well as a Resident Q&A session, and many individual sites have or will be hosting vitual site Q&A sessions for applicants. All these sessions held so far have been very well received by the applicants to our program and we thank everyone who has been participating in these sessions!
We really can’t run our massive CaRMS recruitments each year without your help and we thank you for the strong response we’ve received from our faculty and residents. There is a virtual CaRMS interviewer orientation on Wednesday, February 23rd at 1:30 p.m.
IMG interview date is Friday February 25th, 2022.
CMG interview dates are Wednesday March 2nd, Saturday March 5th, Sunday March 6th, and Wednesday March 9th, 2022.
Residency Completions: For residents completing the program in June 2022, please keep in mind the requirements for completion of residency. To ensure there are no delays in receiving your family medicine certificate or CPSO license, please keep your academic credits, field notes, and procedures up to date.
Registration: For residents continuing in the program past June 2022, it is extremely important that trainees follow up regarding any requirements affecting their registration status. Emails will be sent by PGME and Medical Affairs to residents with outstanding requirements and due dates over the next few months. If these deadlines are missed, residents will not be able to start their clinical work. Please ensure you complete all the requirements before the deadlines.
Resident Wellness: The Family Medicine Postgraduate team encourages all to be aware of their role in supporting the health, mental health, and wellbeing of all those who are part of our Family Medicine program, especially given the pandemic and the option to participate in additional patient care above and beyond the training program. The Resident Wellness policy lists responsibilities of both Residents and Residency training program members: https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/familymedicine/postgraduate/current_residents/policies/assistance_for_residents_during_residency.html
