Applying to residency involves a complicated set of steps and decisions. The AAMC is committed to providing information to help you apply smarter for residency. We have curated a series of resources that explain the process and ensure that the residency program you select is the right fit for you.

The Matchbook is a joint initiative of the CFMS and CaRMS designed to educate medical students about the Match and assist with career planning. The Matchbook, first created in 2008 and currently at its 12th edition, intends to (1) provide an introduction to the Canadian residency match process, (2) present an overview of the major steps involved, and (3) aid Canadian medical students at various stages of training in planning their strategy for matching in their preferred programs.
