CaRMS Interviews

Missing time for Interviews

The CaRMS official interview period is Jan 25 – Feb 14(You are on vacation/interviews Jan 11 to Feb. 7th)

Canadian programs are asked to give all their interviews during this time period.

McGill may interview local candidates earlier. US interviews are generally earlier.

For missed sessions in the first week of the Physicianship 4 (Medicine & Society block), we will ensure that you can cover the material without being there.

Missing time from other rotations:

• Should only be relevant for US interviews or “out of schedule” interviews.

• Need to specifically request the time, both from the rotation director and Dr. Namta Gupta (as of June 1st replacing Dr Tellier).

• Will have to be made up.
