Dear Clinical Faculty,
Some of you may already be aware that nationally, Psychiatry has moved to a Structured Reference Letter for CaRMS applicants for this cycle. We had asked that there be a transition year where previous format reference letters as well as this structured letter be accepted. However, this was not possible. I am aware that for those of you completing these, there have been issues with downloading and uploading these letter files. If it is at all helpful, below is the link to a PDF of this form.
ENGLISH: https://www.carms.ca/pdfs/2025-Psychiatry-Structured-Reference-Letter-EN.pdf
Next year, CaRMS assures us that the letter will be embedded on the platform and this PDF is only a transition step.
Take good care,
Dr. Irfan Khanbhai MD, FRCPC
Clinical Associate Professor
