Prior to the 2027 match cycle, the Spring Subspecialty Residency Match (SSRM) was called the Pediatric Subspecialty Match (PSM). This match was renamed to welcome programs across a variety of disciplines wishing to participate in a Spring match. You can learn more about the change by clicking here.

The 2028 SSRM match timeline is currently under review and will be posted when available.

Reference documents are an essential part of an application, so the applicants who’ve asked you to provide one are counting on you to submit it on time so it can be processed into their account before it’s time for programs to review references.

You can submit references electronically through the CaRMS Online referee portal.

Please refer back to this timetable regularly, as dates are subject to change.
