What stands out about this program

  • No subspecialty wards except Cardiology and Respirology, so CTU patients are highly varied and acute.

    From “Program highlights” on the CaRMS page

  • Lower-acuity 'D Medicine' CTU block where PGY1s work directly with an attending, without other juniors.

    From “Program highlights” on the CaRMS page

  • This is a 3-year core Internal Medicine program training at two tertiary hospitals and one community hospital in Winnipeg.
  • Apart from Cardiology and Respirology there are no subspecialty wards, so general medicine CTUs take admissions from all subspecialties.
  • Residents use a night float system, completing 6-8 weeks over PGY2/PGY3, and must complete one scholarly project.

The summary is written by CdnMD from the program’s CaRMS description.

Past matches

No repeated vacancies in CaRMS’s lists of open positions, 2019–2026.

Positions at this site, all streams.

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.
