CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL MEDICAL GRADUATES

GENERAL INFORMATION

As an outcome of Competence by Design (CBD) implementation in general Pediatrics training programs, residents starting Pediatrics training in 2021 will need to complete all stages of training prior to starting subspecialty training, except for Quebec.

To accommodate this change, there will be two consecutive SSRM matches in this year’s match cycle:

2024 SSRM: takes place in the fall of 2023 with a July 2024 start date; and
2025 SSRM: will begin shortly after the 2024 SSRM concludes in November, with a start date of July 2024 or July 2025 for Quebec, and a start date of July 2025 for all other provinces.

For more information about this change, please consult the memorandum from the specialty committee in Pediatrics.

LICENSING BODY

All applicants must be eligible for registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba (CSSRM) on the educational register. CSSRM categories of registration and eligibility criteria for licensure after residency can be reviewed at the following website.

SOURCE OF FUNDING

Funding for Residency positions is provided by Manitoba Health

TRAINING LEVEL ELIGIBILITY

All Pediatrics residents in ACGME-accredited Pediatrics programs who are interested in applying for a Pediatrics subspecialty program in Canada will need to have their training assessed by the RCPSC in comparison to Canadian training.

A resident who has or will complete their Pediatrics residency in an ACGME-accredited program in the U.S. will need to complete an approved PGY-4 year in a core RCPSC Pediatrics program in Canada to be eligible to apply for subspecialty training in Canada. The RCPSC assessment of U.S. training will establish what is needed during the PGY-4 year. U.S residents interested in doing a PGY-4 year in a Canadian core Pediatrics program will need to reach out to the residency programs individually and explore if this opportunity is available.

If a resident is completing a PGY-4 chief resident year in an ACGME-accredited program in the U.S., the RCPSC assessment of training will establish if the resident is eligible for the RCPSC examinations/fellowship. For more information on having your training assessed, please contact Chantal Benoit at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (cbenoit@royalcollege.ca)
