This is the best summary I could come up with:
A total of 1,627 graduates from medical schools in Canada and abroad will become family medicine residents this summer, up from 1,529 last year, according to the organization that matches fledgling physicians with crucial hands-on training positions.
The increase isn’t solely due to provincial governments funding more residency placements in family medicine, although 73 new spots in the discipline were added nationwide this year.
The majority of this year’s unclaimed family medicine spots – 70 of the 75 – were in Quebec, a province that has long struggled to fill its quota for future GPs.
After the results of the first round of the match were released in March, some medical school leaders expressed concerns at the number of vacancies in family medicine.
But when second-round results were released on Thursday, all but two spots reserved for military doctors were filled in Ontario, the majority of them with graduates of international medical schools.
Those efforts don’t seem to be bearing fruit in Quebec, where medical schools are limited to offering residency placements to candidates who speak French.
