E109 CaRMS General Surgery Residency Program Highlights! by Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

We are delighted to bring you our CaRMS 2022 general surgery residency highlights! We invited all the English-speaking general surgery programs across the country on to the podcast to talk about what makes their program unique. We were able to get most of the programs across country. Our hope is that this episode will be helpful for prospective applicants to learn a bit about the programs as we head into the interview cycle.

We have no affiliation with CaRMS.
