Where research appears

Research is a file review component judged by participation and degree of involvement, and scholarly activities are also an interview component.

15 to 25
applicants per year
76 to 100%
interview invite rate
Inference, not the program's wording

Research has no separate weight, and the program publishes no research subweight, so no research share can be assigned. Because every complete file is invited to interview, research is unlikely to decide who gets an interview. If it matters at all, it is more likely to matter in final ranking.

Gaps: The program does not state an interview count or rank list size, the page gives 15 to 25 applicants per year in its text but a 0 to 50 bracket for the last five years, the page is in French, and a urology elective is stated not to be a selection criterion.

Where this cohort came from
Université de Sherbrooke
Université Laval

Both residents in this cohort are Canadian medical graduates. Schools are shown as a set only and are not matched to individual residents, since with a cohort this small that pairing would make individuals identifiable.

confirmed pubs
No public research information was found for either resident in this cohort. No peer reviewed publications could be tied to either profile in the public sources checked, and nothing was flagged for exclusion. That means none were found, which is not the same as none existing, since some work does not surface in public databases.
Notable: one resident served on the editorial team of a regional public health newsletter during clerkship, a communication and education contribution rather than a research publication, so it is not counted. No presentations, leadership roles, awards, or other public activities were found for the other.
Reading this data

Neither resident in this cohort has a publication that could be confirmed from public sources, so this cohort of two matched here without a visible public research record. With only two residents, that is a description of this year, not a rule about what the program expects.

The one visible activity is education and communication oriented rather than clinical or laboratory research. Applicants should weigh this alongside the program context above, where research has no separate weight and is described as part of the file review and interview. Program weightings may change from year to year.

Data was gathered from publicly available sources and verified to a high but not absolute degree of confidence. A missing record here means nothing was found in public sources, not that nothing exists.

Methodology: Identities were used privately to look up and verify publication records, then discarded; residents are labeled PGY1-A and PGY1-B and are not otherwise identifiable. Searches covered PubMed, Crossref, Europe PMC, Semantic Scholar, ORCID, and general web search. Confirmed counts reflect items independently matched against a verified publication record. Sample size is n=2 from a single program year, not a stable year-over-year benchmark, and counts this small should be read as illustrative of profile shape rather than a statistically robust comparison.

Program context: weights, applicant range, invite rate, and the description of what the program looks for come from the linked CaRMS description. The inference is a reading of the published numbers and is labeled as such above.
