The Canadian Resident Matching Service, abbreviated and most often referred to as CaRMS, is a national organization that provides the mandatory matching service for medical residency training throughout Canada.
[1] CaRMS operates a centralized mandatory residency matching platform.
It is also open to graduates from international medical schools (IMGs) who meet the basic criteria and have no prior postgraduate training in Canada or the US.
CaRMS acts as the Dean's Office for Canadian medical students and graduates (i.e. students studying in Canada and graduates of Canadian medical schools) applying to positions through ERAS in the United States.
CaRMS uses the Roth-Peranson algorithm to match students into postgraduate medical training programs throughout Canada.
