Hello,

Does anybody have an idea about pre- residency program for Family Med in Ontario? Do they pay anything during those 4 months? Can one obtain a waiver for this program?

Thanks!

I never have heard about that!!
Is there the program indeed?

Yes, if you match to Family Med in Ontario there is 4 month program administered by CEHPEA. The program is not a part of the residency, but a prerequisite.

Take a look here - http://www.ontariofmp.ca/PRP.html

drongo, it'd be best that you contact CARMS (canadian residency matching program) and the Ontario Health Force and get the information from them. Don't depend on anyone here, make sure yourself.

refer to this thread for phone #'s.

From taking to someone doing the PRP at our hospital---there is no waiver, and you get paid a stipend from the OMA at the end----something like 20 bucks a day to cover expenses. later.
