Files are not re-reviewed .  The Department of Medicine receives a large number of excellent candidates and it is extremely difficult to develop a shortlist. We do feel, however, that we have developed excellent criteria for development of a shortlist. We receive many requests from applicants asking us to review their files again and out of fairness to all applicants will decline to do this except for very extenuating circumstances.

We do not take hard copies of any file materials. The selection process is completely electronic. No paper copies are printed and our faculty work directly from the electronic CaRMS site. No materials will be accepted – electronically or otherwise – after the deadline date.

No interviews will be set up prior to the shortlisting process or the formal interview dates. Our process is intended to be equitable to all applicants.

We don’t want to limit the personal letter to just medical content so along with telling us why UBC/Internal Medicine interests you please provide additional information about yourself that may be of interest
