lgarcia (Alumni) Cardiology fellowship in Canada as a Caribbean grad is a real goal but it's a competitive path. Your internal medicine residency has to be strong first since that's the prerequisite.
dchoudhury (Student) Canadian residency programs have their own matching system through CaRMS. The process is different from NRMP in the US. Make sure you understand which one applies to your situation.
christopher.lutchman (Student) dchoudhury (Student) covered the main points well. Some Caribbean grads have matched into Canadian programs including fellowship but the path usually involves completing residency in the US first and then applying internationally.
freya.brooks (Student) The key factor for fellowship matching in Canada is your research output and your connections within Canadian cardiology programs. A couple of publications and a strong LOR from a Canadian cardiologist makes a significant difference.
mjackson (Student) Different experience than christopher.lutchman (Student) though. Don't rule it out but go in with realistic expectations about the timeline. Cardiology fellowship anywhere is competitive and the Caribbean grad pathway adds complexity that takes extra years to navigate.
loganb (Student) Talk to any MUA alumni who are practicing in Canada. Their specific path will tell you more about what's realistic than any general advice.
