Memorial Radiology
2026 Match

Selection weights
Selection weights not published
What the program says it looks for
- CaRMS eligible applicants with an acceptable academic background and above average medical school performance
- A required personal letter
- Hardworking, self motivated residents who contribute to and collaborate with current residents
- Teamwork, leadership initiative, maturity, and organization
- Willingness to learn all aspects of radiology, and good communication
- Interest in research, data presentation, and analysis
Where research appears
In file review, research is judged by areas of interest in previous research plus publications, presentations, and conference contributions, and the program says research experience is not mandatory but very beneficial, while at interview scholarly activities and interest in research, data presentation, and analysis are assessed.

applicants per year
51 to 75%
interview invite rate
Inference, not the program's wording
The program does not publish exact weights, and research has no separate weight. It is described as beneficial but not mandatory and appears in both file review and interview, so it can help at both stages, but no research share can be assigned.
Gaps: The program does not state an interview count or rank list size, and only a CMG stream with a quota of 4 was listed.
Where this cohort came from
Memorial University
University of British Columbia
University of Ottawa
All four residents are Canadian medical graduates. 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.
Per resident breakdown
Radiology relevant
Other medical
Most of this record is sports medicine and head impact research, in journals such as Annals of Biomedical Engineering and Scientific Reports, with three first-authored papers in total. The one radiology relevant paper is a first-authored diffusion tensor imaging pilot study in Journal of Concussion, where the concussion work meets MRI. Several of the older papers, including that one, were completed before medical school.
Notable: graduate level research training in sports injury and biomechanics, with ongoing sports medicine research. Has stated an interest in applying medical imaging to athlete health, injury prevention, and return to play decisions.
Also not counted: a correction notice, a duplicate conference abstract, and an early conference abstract in another medical specialty.
No publications were found for this resident in public sources. 0 publications does not mean none exist, only that none were found.
Relevant medical school research: abdominal imaging and local CT yield, carried out with radiology faculty and a resident mentor, not yet published or indexed.
Notable: held a student leadership and advocacy role representing a graduating class on a medical school committee. Profiled in the program's welcome newsletter for incoming residents, which highlights an interest in mentoring and teaching learners in radiology.
No publications were found for this resident in public sources. 0 publications does not mean none exist, only that none were found.
Relevant undergraduate or masters research: an undergraduate biomechanics research project, not yet published or indexed.
Notable: prior degree in kinesiology. Involvement in student interest groups, including helping organize events for fellow students.
* Includes 3 papers published after match day.
Two thirds of this record is directly radiology relevant, spanning neuroradiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiology education, in journals including Radiology Case Reports, Roentgen Ray Review, and Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports. Six of the nine papers are first or second authored, including a neuroradiology case report and a nuclear medicine study comparing three scan protocols, and the three outside radiology are exercise science and head and neck oncology. Three papers were published after match day and were most likely listed on the original application as in preparation or pending publication.
Notable: radiology research involvement during medical school across almost every area of the specialty, with stated interests in radiology education and nuclear medicine. Radiology mentorship and teaching involvement at the national level.
Reading this data
Radiology specific research volume varies widely across this cohort. Two residents have no indexed publications, one has a single radiology relevant paper within a mostly sports medicine record, and one has six radiology relevant papers spanning neuroradiology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and education.
For applicants, a deep radiology publication record was present in only one of four profiles. Both residents with no publications still had unpublished imaging or biomechanics research on record. 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.
