The Matchbook

The Matchbook is a joint initiative of the CFMS and CaRMS designed to educate medical students about the Match and assist with career planning. For complete information on the CaRMS Match, visit the CaRMS website.

What's in the Matchbook?

The Matchbook, first created in 2008 and currently at its 12th edition, intends to (1) provide an introduction to the Canadian residency match process, (2) present an overview of the major steps involved, and (3) aid Canadian medical students at various stages of training in planning their strategy for matching in their preferred programs.
