摘要

Each year, the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) is used by medical students to apply for residency. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of the past eight years (2018-2025) of CaRMS disciplines (specialties) through “positions” to “applicant first choice discipline” ratios. Plastic Surgery was the most competitive (mean ratio 0.48), followed by Dermatology (0.50) and Ophthalmology (0.54). Spearman’s rank correlation revealed Family Medicine, Neurology, OBGYN, Emergency Medicine, and Urology becoming less competitive over time, while Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Diagnostic Radiology became more competitive. This represents the first longitudinal assessment in recent years on CaRMS competitiveness and trends.
