Emergency Medicine at the University of Manitoba is committed to a fair, equitable, and transparent application process. We maintain the right to choose the applicants we feel are the best candidates for our residency training program. However, not all applicants whose files meet our minimum criteria will be offered interviews; only the top candidates will be offered an interview.
While doing electives in Emergency Medicine is desirable, it is not required of an applicant and those who are unable to do so are still considered for an interview.
You are required to fulfill ALL of the most current Provincial Criteria for Canadian Medical Graduates for Manitoba.
