Where research appears
Research is assessed in file review, through the CV and a component for participation leading to peer reviewed publications or presentations, and at interview only within a general scholarly activities component.

Inference, not the program's wording
The program does not publish exact weights, and research has no separate weight. It appears in file review and at interview within broader assessments, so it can affect shortlisting and final ranking, but no research share can be assigned.
Gaps: These figures cover the CMG stream, and the program does not publish an interview count or selection weights.

Schools are shown as a set only and are not matched to the individual research profiles below, since with a cohort this small that pairing would make individuals identifiable. International graduates are grouped into one pill for the same reason.

Orthopedic relevant

Other medical
0
adjacent specialty research
One confirmed publication, a first authored integrative literature review in JCO Global Oncology. It sits outside orthopedics, so it counts as other medical, and no orthopedic or adjacent publications were found.
Notable: a clinical background before medical school and long-standing volunteer and student organization involvement. Also a co-authored orthopedic abstract, described here and not counted in the publication total.
No publications were found for this resident in public sources. Zero publications does not mean none exist, only that none were found.
Notable: involved in team-based charity fundraising during medical school.
* Includes 1 paper published after match day.
1
adjacent specialty research
The largest body of work in the cohort, but a broad one: one orthopedic systematic review in the Journal of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, one plastic surgery meta-analysis, and nine papers across unrelated fields, mostly as a middle author. The orthopedic paper is the only first or second authored item. One paper published after match day may have been submitted before the CaRMS deadline or in progress at application time.
Notable: no presentations or activities were found.
* Includes 1 paper published after match day.
0
adjacent specialty research
The most orthopedic focused record in the cohort, with 7 of 8 papers in the specialty across arthroplasty, trauma and post-operative pain, including a patient-reported outcomes study on robotic knee replacement in the Journal of Robotic Surgery. Four are systematic reviews or meta-analyses and two are case reports, and the only first or second authored paper is the single cardiology study. The robotic knee replacement paper was published after match day and may have been submitted before the CaRMS deadline or in progress at application time.
Notable: no presentations or activities were found.
Reading this data
Research volume in this cohort is concentrated in two profiles, which together account for 19 of the 20 confirmed publications, while the other two residents matched with one or none. Only 3 papers across the cohort are first or second authored, and just 1 of those is in orthopedics.
Orthopedic specific output is narrower still. PGY1-D holds 7 of the cohort's 8 orthopedic relevant papers, mostly reviews and case reports, and no profile shows a new protocol. Program weightings may change from year to year.
All data on this page was gathered from publicly available sources and verified to a high but not absolute degree of confidence. This profile is intended to give prospective applicants a general sense of what previously matched residents looked like, not to serve as a definitive or exhaustive record.
