I am a FM program director or program administrator. How do I add the new Family Medicine structured reference letter as a requirement in my program description?

In your CaRMS Online account, select PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS under the Set-Up menu. From the program list, select the program whose description you wish to modify. Place your mouse over the PENCIL icon and select EDIT.

On the left side of the page, navigate to REFERENCE DOCUMENTS under the SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION section.

Select the FAMILY MEDICINE STRUCTURED REFERENCE LETTER and the number of references your program is requesting from applicants as a part of a complete application. Update the description field if necessary. Once completed, click SAVE.

Note: You will have to submit your program description for PGME approval for it to be posted on carms.ca for applicants to review.
