How to Apply
You can apply through the R-1 Main Residency Match through the Canadian Residency Matching Service (CaRMS). Find out more at www.carms.ca. If you are interested in re-entry or repatriation, more information is available at https://www.nosm.ca/residency-programs/how-to-apply/.
The NOSM University PHPM program reviews candidates’ applications based on:
- Demonstrated interest in and understanding of Public Health and Preventive Medicine
- Academic record
- Strength of references
- Interpersonal skills
- Demonstrated ability to be self-directed
- Professional and leadership qualities
- Desire to train in a variety of community settings
- An established interest in future Northern urban, rural or remote practice will be a key consideration
As the clinical component of PHPM residency training is completed through the NOSM University Family Medicine residency program (whether completing one or two clinical training years), the admission requirements for the Family Medicine residency program have to be met by PHPM candidates, which can include clinical examination score requirements.
