What stands out about this program

Residents rarely compete with other learners; most services have only one family medicine resident.
From “Program highlights” on the CaRMS page
Teaching hospital and practices do not depend on residents for service, so the focus is on education.
From “Program highlights” on the CaRMS page

CaRMS’s first-round list for 2018 was not found, so round 1 is counted over 8 years and round 2 over 9.

What this means

A position can go unfilled because of where the site is, because it is open to IMGs only or to another restricted stream, or because the quota changed late.
It says nothing about the quality of the training or how heavy the workload is.
A site’s numbers are shown when it had positions open after round 1 in at least 2 of 8 years or at least 3 in one year.
