CV and Personal Statement for CaRMS

Two hours on the two documents you control completely, and the 875 program descriptions behind them.

The complete recording of the live session taught on 17 September 2026, with both companion PDFs. You receive exactly what the live room received: the full two hours, plus both companion PDFs. Written as Evidence is the 31-page workbook, with the decoder, a worksheet for each of the eight evidence blocks, the assembly sheet and the pre-submission checklists. What the Programs Ask is the 109-page report I built from all 875 program descriptions in the 2027 first iteration: 862 of them ask for a personal letter, and between them they ask 411 different things.

$74.97 CAD
Available after the live session on 17 September 2026. Until then the live seat is $44.99 and includes the same recording and the same two PDFs.

What’s inside

  • The full two-hour recording: how a file reviewer reads your application, the four kinds of prompt, the evidence method, the eight blocks, assembly, the CV and your referees, and the checks before you submit
  • Written as Evidence, 31 pages: the decoder you fill in per school, a worksheet for each of the eight evidence blocks, the clinical experience inventory, the assembly sheet, four exercises and the pre-submission checklists
  • What the Programs Ask, 109 pages: every family medicine prompt in the country quoted in full, school by school, plus the largest programs and every differing IMG stream in ten other disciplines
  • In that report: the word caps and what happens past them, where each school wants the gaps addendum, the AI rules, and the criterion each program publishes for the letter in its own file review table
  • Access to the recording for 60 days from purchase. Both PDFs are yours to keep

Want your own draft read against your programs?

The session and the report give you the method and the prompts. In a 1:1 consultation I read your draft against the card for the programs you are applying to, and we work through your CV and your referee brief together.

What readers and clients say

“Dr. Santos provided me exceptional guidance on the PER pathway and MCCQE1 preparation. His clear explanations, practical advice, and personalised support gave me confidence and a much better understanding of the Canadian licensing process.”

“Understanding the health system in Canada can be overwhelming, thanks to the content of Dr. Filipe it is possible to understand the system more easily, it provides clear objectives and access routes to optimize the study and prepare for exams. It also provides a lot of information on how to obtain incorporation and options in the different provinces in Canada.”
