Applicant Selection | School of Medicine

Wilderness Medicine

PGME and all of our training programs at Queen’s are committed to an equitable, fair, and transparent CaRMS process that welcomes a diverse set of trainees regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation. CaRMS Match / Match Violation Policy information can be found here. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. To that end we have created our Queen’s University Resident Selection Guidelines. Highlights of our process are:

None of our programs will use social media posts or unsolicited general feedback in their selection process. This is indicated on all programs’ CaRMS information pages.
Unconscious bias training for those involved in CaRMS is a foundational part of our CaRMS selection process.
Real or perceived conflicts of interest are actively considered in determining who is involved in the CaRMS selection process
Programs will have a back-up plan in place should a candidate identify an issue on the day of interview.

Candidates can also report concerns about discrimination in the file review or interview process. For concerns to be reviewed and taken into consideration for the R-1 match you must submit your concern at least one week before the Rank Order Lists are due to PGME (pgme@queensu.ca). Concerns after that date can still be directed to PGME (pgme@queensu.ca) but note that after that date there will not be enough time for review and consideration for the Match.

Our strength is our people, and we encourage you to join us. You belong here.

We hope the following resources are helpful during your interview process and would encourage you to contact our office with any questions or concerns.
