hi sonee,
path has become very competitive in the last few years. If u have good credentials u have a better chance of matching in im or peds than pathology. Some of the things which are imp. for path imho...are residency from home country...best, step 3 cleared, some exp in path...observership esp 1 lor from a pathologist, research and publications +/- depending on the program, GC/citizenship helps. The programs are mainly looking for your interest in pathology.
hope this helps...gl

I guess everybody nowadays is doing AP/CP... It is easier to get a job.. The hospitals will preferably hire a pathologist who could cover clinical path also than other with no training in this area
This is what current residents told me.
