If you are not happy in your residency program at uOttawa, you can apply to change program and/or school. There are two ways to do this:
1. Apply to transfer to a different program and/or school through the uOttawa PGME Office.
2. Apply to a new program and/or school through the second iteration of the CaRMS Match (option only available to Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents).
In this video, you will learn how to apply for a transfer and what to do if your transfer application is successful.
