  • These are the top 5 most competitive medical specialties - the hardest to get into as per the 2020 CaRMS application data ⚡️ As a Canadian medical student, I've been getting a lot of questions from students who have asked me about medical residency (the training that you do after medical school but before you're allowed to practice medicine independently). It seems like although there's lots of amazing information about the American medical schools and residency programs, many premed and new medical students don't even know what the Canadian licensing exams are called 😅 As I continue to progress through my own training as a med student, I want to do a few videos breaking down the process and different residency options in Canada. Hopefully this helps Canadian, American and International Students that might be interested in this information.

    Hey man! I love your videos. I think it would’ve been good though to maybe include more years in your analysis. I know I looked at this data personally when it came out earlier in the year and because I had seen what the previous years stats were, it was especially surprising. this year seems to have been an outlier as it relates to the contents of the dataset. The 5 years prior had much more predictable (on average) results, and ortho definitely wasn’t considered uncompetitive. Thanks for the video, just some things to take into consideration for future vids :)

    • @nxtgenmd
      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Derp, I'm going to have to agree with you on that one 🤙 A 5 year comparative analysis would have been a more comprehensive look, but I didn't consider it at the time since my ortho friends have been telling me that there might have been a paradigm shift lately due to the relative scarcity of ortho jobs in Canada these days after completing residency (just some hearsay from friends though).
      I think this is definitely worth exploring again once we get the 2021 CaRMS data so I'll do an update then.
      Appreciate the feedback :D

    Omygod these are amazing and so informative!!! 👏👏 I also just watched top 5 highest paying specialities in Canada and I'm so glad you're talking about this info! I would love to know more about applying to residency (how would one be a competitive applicant) especially since I believe some med schools are pass/fail and licensing exams are after matching. For example, do you fill out an application similar to the OMSAS ABS? & if so, what kinds of activities (research, extracurricular, etc.)? Or are there other qualifiers? Also, I definitely want to know more about the Canadian Healthcare system in general, specifically how the family medicie/specialists structure works & opening your own clinic/practice. Can you see a specialist directly wo FM referral? At what point/severity can you see a specialist & do patients have any input on that? Basically, how are these decisions made? All the info I've seen so far is for the US so I can't tell you how amazing it is that you're making these videos! Thank you!!! 🥰🥰

    • @nxtgenmd
      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому +1

      Hey Katherine, glad to hear that they've been helpful :D I apply for residency in a few months and I'll be sure to document the entire thing here on UA-cam for anyone who's interested. For starters, applications are done through CaRMS. Same idea as OMSAS... kinda 😅 Many of the same things that you see on OMSAS show up again, but the "ranking system" is different. I'll explain more later, but you can just search the official CaRMS website if you're interested.
      Regarding your second question, I'd definitely like to do an entire video on that once I'm actually a doctor... Seems like I'm still not qualified enough to get into the details of the entire system as of yet. But from what I know, I'm pretty confident in saying that for the most part, all patients present to either an emergency doctor, family doctor, or other health professional including a nurse practitioner, etc. These professions are known as "primary care." From there, referrals are made to "specialists" depending on the complaint and severity. It's a complex, (but far from perfect) system that tries its best to address the needs of the patient on a limited budget since unlike the US, Canada primarily funds healthcare through taxpayer dollars.
      I'll definitely do a video comparing the two structures in the future, but only once I know more myself :)

    After finishing university and taking the residency exam I had the chance to choose the specialty I really liked and wished for, which was Ophthalmology. Such a beautiful branch of Medicine, but so frustrating to practice in so many countries (mine included) because they do not teach residents any surgery during their years of training. This is how after you get your certification you end up doing mostly the job of an optometrist, instead of the one of a real doctor. The disappointment and dissatisfaction is massive. I would guess that is the reason why so many IMGs search for opportunities to actually learn and practice some true Ophthalmology in countries like Canada or USA and why there's so much competition for the limited spots. Also, I think that's the reason why Ophthalmology is or is becoming less and less popular among med students from countries where they provide surgical training only on paper. I, myself, came to realize how right those telling me to stay away from Ophtho were when they had given me the advice to choose something else just because of that. I wish I had listened to them back then! Thank you for the very informative videos and good luck in your career!!

I know someone who was offered a contract for fellowship POST MATCH, meaning it was all negotiated without ERAS and without the NRMP. He now wants to break it because another fellowship wants to offer him a contract in the specialty that he was originally seeking. the first fellowship contract was only signed 2 weeks ago. anything to worry about? where can he get more info in how to get out of a contract?

    How would you rate psychiatry based on previous data about competitiveness? Also how would you rate your experience in psych as this is a speciality I’m very interested in but can’t find many Canadian perspectives on. Love your videos❤️

    • @nxtgenmd
      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому +2

      In the 2020 match, psychiatry had an R value of 0.94 - so there were more applicants than spots but not by a large margin :) In terms of my experience with psych, I actually did enjoy it a lot🤙 I don't think it's where I'm going to end up, but you need to know at least a little bit of psychiatry for many different specialties. Psych requires you to work on your ability to communicate with people on a variety of different levels and there's flexibility depending on what you want to do within psych (psych emergency, psych in-patient, etc.)
      Like all specialties, it's not for everyone, so the best way to see how it fits you would be to do an elective on it during medical school. And thank you :D

  • @columbiagirl18
    @columbiagirl18 3 роки тому +1

    Does the salary average include private practice? I feel like there could be a negative correlation between the ability to practice privately and the r score, with those having the highest flexibility to practice privately having the lowest r scores. Also curious to know which specialties are the most regulated in terms of residency spots. The r ratio matters but if the numerator is ridiculously low it would be pretty easy to bust that low r value haha. Thanks for the great summary! :)

    • @nxtgenmd
      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому

      Yes the salary average does include responses from doctors who practice privately 🤙 It's actually incredible how detailed they've broken down the stats on the CMA website. Interesting theory though :D I don't know if the data supports it, but it might be possible. Interestingly enough, many new doctors I've spoken with are reluctant to head into private practice because it requires them to work more (they need to learn and handle the financial aspects of running a business as well as the medical aspects which can be rewarding, but also challenging).
      Your second question is pretty neat too. I''ll do some more digging during clerkship and see what's up aha. And no problem!

      Good stuff 💪 Emergency medicine being so competitive is what through me off when I found out last year.
      Internal medicine is a 4 year residency in Canada that opens the door to many other specialties. (You can also just complete internal and then practice as a general internist). So for example, if you want to be a cardiologist, you do 4 years of internal residency and then apply for an additional 2 years of cardiology in your final year of internal (6 years total training). Super interesting to see the different paths you can take :D

      This year there are 2 spots in Canada for IMGs applying to Ophthalmology. One NCBI study showed that in previous years when there were spots available, the R value for Ophthalmology was approximately 0.03 for IMG applicants (approximately 32.5 applicants for every 1 spot). regarding working in Canada after training in the US, data on this is very specialty specific so you would be best consulting other sources online 🤙

    • @nxtgenmd
      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому +2

      You definitely can go to a Canadian medical school and then practice in the US, but you need to do an American residency instead of a Canadian one after graduating. In that case, you'd also need to write the USMLE exams and apply via their system instead of CaRMS.
      It gets a little confusing when you start talking about how to go from here to there or vice-a-versa and that might be a topic for a future video. But this is the general process and stats for Canadian students looking to do residency in Canada :)

      @nxtgenmd  3 роки тому

      Glad you liked it Priyanka :) Unfortunately Ophthalmology is the single most competitive specialty in Canada and for IMGs, I believe that only a single spot is offered in the entire country per year for residency. I think that your best bet would be to look up statistics for match rates and which schools will take International doctors/students for their residency program OR if it would be possible to work as an ophthalmologist with the "practice ready" transfer method. Your best bet is to check with physiciansapply.ca to start your research.

    As a first year medical student, my predictions were: opthalmology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, and family medicine +1 emergency medicine. I have heard that the family medicine +1 emerg is really competitive so I was expecting that. I'm wondering if that R value factors in both the standard 5 year EM and the +1 option for FM?

      The FM/ER match is definitely competitive from what I've heard. The CaRMS document has an entire section on those stats (I'm not sure why they treat it separately). Looks like a 66.9% match rate for 2020 but only 85.3% of the total positions were filled. Would be interesting to see how they ended up filling the other 15% of positions 🤔

      Yes they can, assuming that they pass the Canadian equivalency and board exams and then go through CaRMS.
      The data is a bit nuanced so I'll probably do a video on it in the future. But in short, according to the data for the 2020 cycle, IMGs had a 61.3% match rate (average) in the first iteration and a 38.7% match rate in the second. More than 50% of the current year IMG graduates that went unmatched in the first iteration did not apply for the second round of the match. Hope that helps :)
