      For the MCCQE1, I would recommend using Canada QBANK, UWORLD questions banks available on the internet (have to purchase an online membership) and then use your medical school notes. Also Toronto Notes would be good to study the community health section and ethics.
      I hope this helps! Good luck!

    This is the most terrifying thing I've ever looked at. Past that exam is the matching process which is highly dependent on your results as an IMG. I find USMLE has more guidance when it comes to study. WIth the MCCQE, its basically "lol Good luck." USMLE has videos, books, question banks. MCCQE seems to have almost nothing except the trust that you went to medical school lol. I say this because he mentioned using u world which is mostly for USMLE.
