Applicants are assessed in a two-step process:
All applicants will be independently scored by the selection committee and a composite score based on the individual scores will be produced. The top 16 — 20 applicants will be invited for an interview. The file review will comprise 50% of the final candidate mark. Scoring will be based on academic achievement, scholarly activity (research and education), extracurricular activities and reference letters.
Interviews will take place via video conferencing software for all candidates in 2021 due to Covid restrictions. However, our regular interview format outlined below will continue to apply. A separate virtual meeting room will be set up on interview day for presentations and question/answer session with residents and the program director.
A multi mini interview format will be used with all candidates cycled through stations of 2 interviewers. Each interview station will follow a general theme. Each interviewer will score each candidate and a composite score will be developed based on these scores. The total interview score will comprise 50% of the candidate mark.
This is not necessary. See also general instructions. There is an opportunity for all candidates during the interview process, to learn everything about the program.
