- CaRMS does not set policies around access to postgraduate training positions in Canada.
|
|
| |
- Medical schools offering postgraduate training / residency programs work in close cooperation with provincial health ministries which fund the positions.
|
|
| |
- Below is the motion agreed on by the Association of Faculties of Medicine in Canada (AFMC).

|

|

Since Canadian medical schools are the principal source of the physician workforce for Canada |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Be it resolved by the AFMC Board of Directors: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
- That all graduates of Canadian medical schools be assured access to a residency position in Canada to complete training necessary to enter practice,
|
|
| |
- That access to postgraduate training organized by the Residency Match in Canada be through a defined and transparent process for eligible graduates of LCME/CACMS accredited medical schools and also for eligible graduates of international medical schools,
|
|
| |
- That these processes must be defined by July 1 of the calendar year to ensure proper implementation can occur,
|
|
| |
- That we affirm that eligibility for a postgraduate training program is determined by each Canadian medical school,
|
|
| |
- That participation in the first iteration of the Canadian Residency Match be restricted to eligible graduates of LCME/CACMS accredited schools or international medical schools, who have had no previous RCPSC/CFPC/ACGME accredited postgraduate training.

- Approved by AFMC Board, May 2nd, 2006.
