It's very hard to believe that it's already February. I'm not sure what the groundhogs will be predicting about winter later on this morning although with the winter we've had... is there a way they can predict -6 "more" weeks of winter?
What I think we can predict after finishing our four days of CaRMS interviews is that we are going to have some great learners matched to our program for our inaugural year! I know that all of us QBOL interviewers found these CaRMS interview days to be a very positive experience. In particular, it was quite heartening to see the amount of genuine interest in our site. We've been working hard to prepare the best learning experiences we can for our incoming QBOL FM residents and are really feeling energized now to push towards the finish line... or is that the start line ahead?
In addition, I'll share a link to our videotaped morning presentations in case you wanted to relive the drama of the information sessions. Otherwise, feel free to contact me and we would be happy to send you some of our materials (e.g. PDFs of the slide presentation or a copy of our Colourful Curriculum Calendar), get you in touch with some of our community contacts, or answer any further questions you might have.
It was truly a pleasure to have the chance to meet with so many great candidates, to hear about the variety of paths you've taken to FM, and to learn about the many strengths that you already have to share with us - not just us at the QBOL site, but as future colleagues in FM.

CaRMS interviews at the halfway mark.
Just home from two days of interviewing candidates for our first cohort of QBOL residents and came away extremely impressed. There were many strong candidates with a definite interest in Family Medicine that would be a great fit with our site. Almost makes me wish we had more spots... Almost. "Eight is enough" for our first year.
I hope the people whom we have interviewed so far found the experience useful, fair, and not-too-intimidating. There certainly was a lot of information presented (even taking into account the technical difficulty I had the second morning's presentation - always check the plug!).
I also hope everybody involved with the interviews over the last 2 days had safe and smooth travels on their way home from Kingston; I noticed some black ice on the highway near Newtonville.
