REGINA — The Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) has released the match results of the process to fill medical residency seats across the country for 2024.
For a second consecutive year, Saskatchewan filled all family medicine seats in the first round of the CaRMS match.
Each year, Canadian medical students expecting to graduate have two opportunities to be matched to a post-graduate (residency) seat at a Canadian medical school through the CaRMS two-round match process.
All of the 135 seats posted in Saskatchewan this year by the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) for family medicine and specialty programs have been filled, a large majority in the first round of the match. Seats for specialty programs were all filled by the second round. The anesthesia program was expanded to Regina and a new provincial dermatology program located in Regina is offered as well. Both programs will begin to train residents on July 1.
The 2024 match was a record year for U of S medical students matching into residency programs at the U of S.
Saskatchewan continues to make steady progress on multiple initiatives to recruit, train, incentivize and retain more health care professionals through the province’s Health Human Resources (HHR) Action Plan.
Details on health care opportunities, how to access them and more information on the province's HHR Action Plan are available at .
