Where research appears
The file review counts participation in research projects and publications, the interview looks at how applicants integrate new scientific data into practice, and elective criteria name research experience as a positive discriminator.

Inference, not the program's wording
Research has no separate weight. It sits inside the academic record and CV review and inside the interview, which are weighted equally. With roughly half to three quarters of applicants invited, research may matter more for final ranking than for who gets an interview, though the description does not confirm that split.
Gaps: The CaRMS description is in French and summarized here, interviews per year are not published, and CaRMS lists quotas as approximate, with a note mentioning 10 residents in total alongside a quota of 3, recorded as shown.
Where this cohort came from
All four residents in this cohort are Canadian medical graduates. Schools are shown as a set only and are not matched to the individual research profiles below.
Per resident breakdown
Orthopedics relevant
Other medical
* Published after match day.
One confirmed publication, a second-authored scoping review of stress-based biomechanical modeling in hip dysplasia surgery, in the Journal of Biomechanics. It synthesizes existing literature rather than reporting new protocol work. It is dated after match day and was most likely listed on the original application as in preparation or pending publication.
Notable: no presentations, awards, or other activities were found in public sources.
Both confirmed publications are orthopedic and in leading bone and joint journals: a first-authored clinical study of return to work and sport after pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery, and a second-authored systematic review and meta-analysis on blood loss in hip and knee replacement. The pairing shows new clinical data alongside a rigorous evidence synthesis.
Notable: has pursued graduate training in clinical epidemiology alongside this orthopedic research.
* Includes 1 publication dated after match day.
Both confirmed publications are second-authored systematic reviews on ethical issues in geriatric care during the pandemic, one in BMC Medical Ethics and one in BMC Geriatrics. They are companion reviews from the same project, and none are orthopedic. The BMC Geriatrics paper is dated after match day and was most likely in progress at the time of the application.
Notable: no presentations, awards, or other activities were found in public sources.
No publications attributable to this resident were found in public sources. A zero here does not mean none exist, only that none were found publicly.
Notable: entered residency as an already licensed physician with a military service background.
Additional items reported in the original research could not be independently confirmed and are excluded from the counts above.
Reading this data
Publication volume is modest across this cohort: five confirmed papers among four residents, with no one above two. The orthopedic work that does appear centres on the hip, pelvis and joint replacement, one resident's output sits entirely outside orthopedics, and one resident has no public record at all.
Two of the five confirmed papers are dated after match day and were most likely still in progress at application time, so the profiles at the point of application were probably a little smaller than the counts shown. 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.
