What the research profiles of this year's 20 incoming residents actually look like, by specialty relevance, presentations, and notable activity, not just publication count.
Schools are shown as a set only and are not matched to the individual research profiles below, since that pairing could make individuals identifiable. Some school assignments come from publication affiliations rather than an official roster.
* 1 paper is dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
0
adjacent specialty research
One charted paper, a first-authored anesthesia case report on postoperative nausea, and it is dated after match day*. An earlier digital humanities paper from undergraduate studies falls outside medicine, so it is noted here rather than charted.
Notable: Earned a top oral presentation prize at a departmental research day during medical school, with an undergraduate background in the humanities.
* 5 papers are dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
2
adjacent specialty research
Nine charted papers, tied with PGY1-P for the cohort's largest volume, but only three are directly anesthesia relevant: perioperative cardiac surgery work and an anesthesia workforce review. Two preclinical papers on lung injury and sepsis count as critical care adjacent. The first-authored items are journalology letters and a cross-sectional study, not clinical anesthesia research. Five of the nine are dated after match day*, and most likely appeared on the application as in preparation or pending.
Notable: Presented an evidence synthesis poster in cell therapy before medical school, and the profile is dominated by systematic review and meta-analysis experience across several research groups.
* 1 paper is dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
0
adjacent specialty research
Both charted papers are first authored. A study linking genetic risk scores to postoperative delirium is directly relevant and dated after match day*, and a systematic review of quality of life after elective orthopedic surgery counts as other medical.
Notable: No presentations, leadership roles or other activity were found in public sources.
* 1 paper is dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
0
adjacent specialty research
Four charted papers. Two perioperative evidence syntheses are anesthesia relevant, one on sleep apnea in ambulatory ENT surgery (second author) and one on functional disability after surgery. The other two are middle-authored dermatology and respirology work, the latter dated after match day*.
Notable: Co-authored a preprint on antibiotic duration that is not yet peer reviewed and is not counted. Also holds an advanced classical music performance diploma and received an undergraduate scholarship.
0
adjacent specialty research
Two meta-analyses on cognitive screening, both in the first or second author position. The first-authored study of a cognitive screening tool in surgical patients is directly relevant to perioperative anesthesia, while the dementia screening review in older adults counts as other medical.
Notable: Managed copyright for a medical student textbook edition and is listed as a trainee representative on a national interventional radiology committee.
0
adjacent specialty research
Two hand surgery papers from 2025, one first authored and one second authored, covering a machine learning fracture management model and a prospective surgical approach study. Neither is anesthesia relevant, so the whole record is other medical, though both are leadership position papers.
Notable: Presented both projects as posters, had an abstract of one published, and received a hospital quality improvement grant. Contributes as a curriculum and research ambassador for an online anesthesia curriculum, is reported to have hosted a workshop introducing anesthesia to pre-medical students, and worked as a radiology research assistant before medical school.
0
adjacent specialty research
A single first-authored health services paper appraising the evidence behind psychedelic prescribing. It counts as other medical, and there is no anesthesia relevant work in the record.
Notable: No presentations, leadership roles or other activity were found in public sources.
Two engineering papers by a same-name author at a different institution were excluded as a different person.
* 1 paper is dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
0
adjacent specialty research
Three charted papers. A middle-authored obstetric anesthesia systematic review on headache treatment is directly relevant and dated after match day*. Two rehabilitation and pediatric neuro-oncology papers are other medical, and the first of those was completed prior to medical school.
Notable: Presented the obstetric anesthesia review as an electronic poster. Background includes a pediatric hospital research studentship, an undergraduate thesis, teaching assistant roles, a master's degree in medical physiology and several undergraduate awards.
No confirmed publications. This profile shows that a match is possible without a published record in the public sources searched.
Notable: Relevant undergraduate research: about two years of part-time work plus summer internships with a focused ultrasound group studying brain tumour treatment. Also worked as a cognitive psychology research assistant and an undergraduate teaching assistant.
Four papers and posters by same-name authors at other institutions were excluded because their affiliations conflict with this resident's training history.
0
adjacent specialty research
Three charted papers, all in the first or second author position. The two first-authored papers are directly relevant: remote assessment of cognition and daily function, and frailty trajectories in older surgical patients. The third is a cardiac surgery systems biology review (other medical). A first-year food microbiology paper from a prior master's degree is outside medicine, was completed prior to medical school, and is noted here rather than charted.
Notable: Completed a master's degree in food science, earned a summer research scholarship in cardiac surgery, served as a graduate student council president, and volunteers in youth mentoring and pediatric emergency settings. Holds ACLS certification.
0
adjacent specialty research
Two first-authored papers. A scoping review of a bleeding therapy after thoracic aortic surgery is cardiothoracic anesthesia work and directly relevant. A chronic pain trial analysis counts as other medical.
Notable: Completed an undergraduate neuroscience degree outside Canada. No other presentations or leadership roles were found in public sources.
0
adjacent specialty research
Five charted papers, three directly relevant: a first-authored meta-analysis of older patients' preoperative concerns, a dose-response analysis of postoperative pain and cognition, and a bleeding management trial protocol where the author position could not be confirmed. Two other medical items cover thoracic surgery and acute care education.
Notable: Presented a medical education abstract on immersive technology in acute care teaching, and holds a health sciences undergraduate degree.
* 1 paper is dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
1
adjacent specialty research
Eight charted papers and seven of them first authored, the strongest first authorship record in the cohort. Five are directly relevant, spanning anesthesia bibliometrics, women in academic anesthesia, applicant research output, a student journal piece on AI and patient safety, and AI responses on nerve blocks (dated after match day*). A first-authored sleep apnea AI image study counts as adjacent, and two clinical trial access papers are other medical. Three cell biology papers from research completed prior to medical school are outside medicine and noted here rather than charted.
Notable: Spent two years as a research student in a pediatric hospital cell biology lab, and was acknowledged for manuscript preparation on a separate health misinformation paper.
* 2 papers are dated after match day, most likely listed as in preparation or pending at application time.
0
adjacent specialty research
Seven charted papers, all other medical and none anesthesia relevant. They span radiation oncology trials (both middle authored and dated after match day*), hematology, health services and medical education, with only one clear first or second author position. Two undergraduate basic science protocols were completed prior to medical school and are noted here rather than charted.
Notable: Held several student leadership roles, including co-leading a student-run community clinic and a social accountability committee, served as a national student delegate, co-founded a youth research organization and led an international youth delegation.

Reading this data
Research output in this cohort is concentrated rather than uniform. The median resident has 2 charted papers, three residents account for 26 of the 63 charted papers, and 11 of 20 have at least one directly anesthesia relevant paper, which means 9 matched without one. Where anesthesia work does appear, it clusters around perioperative medicine, especially cognition, frailty and outcomes in older surgical patients, and around anesthesia education and workforce questions.
Twelve charted papers are dated after match day and most likely appeared on applications as in preparation or pending, so several profiles looked smaller at application time than they do here. Strong first authorship, as in the cohort's highest first-author record, sits alongside residents whose research is entirely in other fields, which suggests a clear research story mattered more than a single type of paper. 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.
