Can research track applicants choose a site other than Vancouver for their training?

The Research track program is based in Vancouver. If a candidate wants to join the Research track and also be trained at other sites, we suggest that the candidate apply to other tracks rather than the Research track. Candidates can request to be transferred to the Research track after they are matched in CaRMS.

Do I need to submit a different application for each track that I want to apply to?

Yes, if you are planning to apply to multiple tracks, please submit an application for each track.

Do I need to submit a personalized letter for each track that I’ve applied to?

Applicants are encouraged to write a different targeted personal letter for each track they want to apply to, especially for the applicants who want to apply to the Vancouver Island and Prince George tracks. This will help the Program understand the reasons for applying to specific tracks.

Is a CV or custom resume required for the carms application?

CVs or resumes are optional as the CaRMS application forms include all necessary fields that would be present on a CV (e.g. work experience, research experience, interest, etc.).

Can I submit more than three reference letters that were outlined in the CaRMS description?

Our Selections Committee will only review the first three reference letters that you submit due to time constraints.

I am currently in the process of completing a dual degree (MD/MSC). Do I need to upload a copy of my masters transcript?

Yes, please upload a copy your Masters transcript to your CaRMS application. Our reviewers will take this into account when reviewing your file.

Will your program give preference to graduates of UBC?

We do not give preference to students who are graduates of UBC when creating our rank lists. Every applicant will be scored in a standardized fashion.

After speaking with residents and faculty during the interview day, I might decide that I also want to apply to other tracks. Is this possible? What is the deadline for this?

Yes, candidates are able to apply for additional tracks (except for Prince George and Research tracks) after your interview date, and up to at least 1 to 1.5 weeks before the ranking list submission deadline.

I applied to multiple UBC psychiatry tracks. Will I be interviewed on the same day or over the course of a few days?

All shortlisted candidates who applied multiple streams/tracks will compete all their interviews on the same day.

Q: I have applied to multiple tracks. Does this mean that I will have an interview for each track for which I’m shortlisted?

Candidates who are shortlisted for the Vancouver, Fraser, and/or Vancouver Island tracks will have one set of standard interviews (Program Director Interview, Mini Interview, and Panel Interview). When interviewing and ranking the candidates, our Selections Committee will keep in mind the tracks to which they have applied. Candidates who are shortlisted for the Research and/or Prince George tracks, will have an additional interview for each track.

Q: Do the Prince George & Research Track shortlisted candidates have additional interviews on top of the regular interviews (program director, mini, and panel interviews)? If so, are these interviews on the same day?

Candidates who are shortlisted for the Prince George and/or Research track will have an additional interview in addition to the standard interviews. Candidates who are shortlisted for the Prince George track will have an additional interview with the Prince George Associate Program Director. Candidates who are shortlisted for the Research track will have an additional interview with the Research Track Associate Program Director, as well as a panel interview with the Research Track Selections Committee. All of the interviews, including the additional interviews one may have for the Prince George and/or Research track, will happen on the same day.
