Applications
Applications from new graduates of Canadian medical schools are
accepted only through the CaRMS application process. For persons
interested from outside the country with their own sources of funding,
applications can be made through the Office of Postgraduate Education
at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western
Ontario. Physicians in practice wishing to return to a residency
position may inquire directly through the program director.
Entry may be considered through a return of service contract from the
Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOLTHC). Additionally, for
Canadians practicing in the US, the MOHLTC has a repatriation program
that may allow entry to complete training in Emergency Medicine, thus
allowing eligibility to write the Royal College certification
examination. As of December 2002, the program is not currently
accepting applications from internationally sponsored graduates
Prerequisites
Prerequisites for application to any training program through the CaRMS match may be obtained at the CaRMS website.
