Bro, finally someone made this videos about MCC. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
thank you Dr, helpful video. already liked and subsicribed
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the video firstly. I want to know if I can go Canada and work as a specialist doctor. Coz I also think about getting my specialty here in my country and go there. But I couldn't find any clear answer whether they allow me to work as a specialist there or not. What is the procedure ? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for the question. I would encourage you to go through this video. You will have an idea. Still have any questions, feel free to comment here. th-cam.com/video/xhxmABEMVrI/w-d-xo.html
sir few doubts
1- what are pilot questions
2 - taking consideration into the present situation can we write the first step of this exam remotely like from the country we live in example mine is india or do we have to go there and write
Thank you so much for asking questions.
1. Pilot questions are not marked, however, you have to answer those. You will not realize which questions are pilot in real exam, so I would encourage to forget about pilot questions and give equal importance to each question.
2. Yes, India has a center, you donot need to come Canada. This year even the NAC will be virtual and you could appear from home.
How about the fees for the mccqe and osce ? And are there Prometric system outside the us like USMLE ? Also is it possible to make a transfer of resedency to the USA once you get a position in Canada ?
Please check here for the fees: mcc.ca/examinations/examination-service-fees/.. Yes, there are prometric center in different countries conducting USMLE MCC exams. You can check on Prometric center. No residency transfer is not possible.
The only thing this video is missing is the timing. So when should students take all these exams? year two or year 4 of MD?
That is a great question. For the Q1 and NAC OSCE, students can appear at least 15 and 12 months prior to their graduation date, however, there are no such criteria for USMLE. My understanding is that anyone should appear in these exams once, they have completed clinical rotations as these are clinically oriented exams.
Hi . Thank you so much for this amazing video. :)
Can you please make a video for international students, how they can matriculate to the medical university or school maybe
I can't found it on the internet, so I hope you will help me with this request
Beforhand Thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for the question, I am sorry, I do not know how international students matriculate in Canadian medical school. This is something you can obviously look at the individual university website.
Thank you for this recommendation:)
@@malikasha My pleasure.
i have a small doubt what if an indian student completes his course outside of india in some other country and he wants to study in canada how does he need to apply does he need to write any other exam like IELTS or can he apply directly for MCCQE
It does not matter where your medical school is, however, your school should be in world directory of medical school. please check: th-cam.com/video/d682jGyQ1wM/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/9Eywgge-_rc/w-d-xo.html
Question -1
First Aid USMLE step2 CK + BNB videos( step 2) is enough to pass MCCQ1 ?
Those are good resources but I would encourage to study a good quality Q bank. Q bank is the key preparation.
How much does this whole test cost? Including mccqe part 1, NAC and mccqe part 2. Please tell me?
Please check the link, they are just updated few fees. physiciansapply.ca/services/examination-and-service-fees/
Hi doctor
Do we need to undergo the whole process of credentials verification for both separately? I’ve done that with ecfmg for mcc already. Should I repeat if I apply for usmle now?
That is a great question. I did separately as I did not know the process clearly. What I am clear is that once you verify you credentials through USMLE, you still need to create account, SVR with MCC, however, the process is so quick as ECFMG has already verified those. On the other hand, If you have already verified with MCC, USMLE should accept those, However, ECFMG needs a few specific forms such as 186, 183, 327. I would encourage you to call ECFMG. They are so helpful and you will get the confirmed answer. Hope it helps. If possible please let us know here. From your comment, we will learn that.
@@nomemorization1128 thanks for getting back to me doctor. I should look into the things you have told. Ecfmg helpline is very busy these days and I’ve been calling them daily. Will get back once I get response. Thanks again
@@alekhyaallenki Please let us know. Thanks.
@@nomemorization1128 hi dr, got the chance to speak to ecfmg and they told eics number is sufficient and we need not undergo the whole process of credential verification if it’s valid. Thanks
@@alekhyaallenki Wonderful. Glad to know that. Thank you so much for getting back to us.
In Canada for IMG now only we have to give MCCQE1 & NAC osce for a license? Is MCCQE 2 canceled?
Yes, you are correct. QE2 exam is no more.
So there is no basic science exam in canada like step 1 in usa?
Yes, you are right. No basic science like step 1.
Greetings to the one who runs this channel I actually have a very very small doubt so if u can answer this I would be so thankful to u ,my question is consider a person is writing mccqe1 in the month of July 28 2021 and he completes it with a good score then exactly after how much time will he be able to write the part 2 exam there in canada..... Nd for suppose if a student is in 3rd year of mbbs course nd he's about to go to 4th year is he eligible to write this exam .... Plz ur answer will be so helpful to me I tried various places for my answer but I found none so plz answer
Thank you so much for your comment. Regarding your question, someone who is a medical graduate and already completed one year of acceptable post-graduate training, can appear the MCCQE1 and MCCQE2 back to back depending on the available session, however, for a medical student, it is not possible. As a student, if anyone wants to appear MCCQE1, candidates supposed to complete the graduation within the next 15 months and for the MCCQE2, one year post-graduation is one of the requirements. So a student can not appear Q2. Hope it helps.
Please check this.mcc.ca/examinations/mccqe-part-i/application-information/
@@nomemorization1128 thank u so much for ur response very thankful to u one last question as u have mentioned undergrad can appear for the mccqe part 1 like as I have mentioned a 3rd year student and for the part 2 should we complete the entire course or should we be writing it before 15 months of our graduation so as it says if a student who's studying in 3rd year and is about to enter 4th and which leaves him like 16months to get graduated so he's eligible to write the exam is it crect or what I've said it totally wrong
@@nomemorization1128 but it is impossible because what we are applying for is post graduation so how can we have one year of post graduation for the exam
@@lamborginidiablo1gmailcom Well, the duration of medical courses varies from 4 -6 years. A student can apply for the Q1 examination 15 months prior to the graduation date. the candidate has to calculate accordingly. A student can not apply for the Q2 examination, as it requires post-graduation training.
So to take thr mccque I should study the step 2 books??
Yes, it should be perfectly fine.
Which ielts academic academic Or general is needed for mcc exams n residency
Academic IELTS, few provinces also started accepting OET. You do not need IELTS for MCC exams.
Hlw sir.Thank you.I am from Bangladesh just completed my internship.I want to appear both exam but my medical has been listed in wdoms only, not ecfmg.what can I do.please enligjten me
My pleasure. As your medical school is in World directory of medical schools, there should be a sponsor note that specifically mentions about ECFMG eligibility. Did you check that?
@@nomemorization1128 thanks for ur reply sir.I have checked,no sponsorship note is attached with my medical info.My medical is emailing ecfmg to do necessary things regarding sponsorship but they are not replying.at this moment,what can I do to get ecfmg sponsorship
@@fahmidazaman As your medical school is in World directory of medical schools, I do not think it will be a problem. However, I would encourage you to call ECFMG at +1 215 386 5900 and get the confirmation. Please also share your experience here.
What is the meaning of Pilot
Pilot questions are those, you will see in your exam but no score will be provided for that, it does not matter the answer is right or wrong.
If an Indian medical graduate completed his/her residency in Canada, then what are the job scopes as a doctor in Canada.
What is possibility of getting Permanent Residence (PR) for those who completed residency in Canada and are working in Canada as a doctor ?
Candidates cannot apply for residency training in Canada unless they have PR status. It differs from the USA, where candidates do not need PR status. If anyone can complete residency training in Canada, job is fairly available.
Hi dear ,I really appreciated your help.I do want to connect you via email ，I have some personal queries.can I have your email please？I also want you to make one video how IMG can apply for legal residency status (PR） in order to apply for Residency program.As I checked in carms websites The program dont offer Visa in advance,It requires The applicant to show leagal residency status.Even someone paas mccqe and nac oscce,still not eligible to apply For residency.so how to go though those procedures.I would want you to explain for us.Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for the question. Yes, I have plan to make one on PR process. You can email me at saynomemo@gmail.com. This address is also in my description.
Hey, thanks for the informative video! Would you know how scores on mcc practice tests relates to final exam score?
Like how much should I aim for in practice tests to get a good score and/or a passing score on the final exam?
That is a great question, this is so weird MCC does not provide an actual score someone could get in a real exam based on the practice test. however, candidates can percentage it and I would say if it is close to 75-80 %, the candidate should get 265-280 in real exm. Again, this is my prediction based on my experience and opinion of others. Hope it helps.
@@nomemorization1128 thank you so much for the response. I am averaging out at 70% and the exam is next week. So am I assuming I will be getting around 250?
@@Huma.Ali. there is always a +_ 15 in a practice test, which means your score may increase as well in your real exam, maybe even more. These are all predictions. As your exam is in next week, the only thing I can say is to wish you all the best. Believe in yourself, be confident, be positive, you will do a better score than what you did in the practice test. Keep these in mind, you will be the best.
@@nomemorization1128 thank you so much! This means a lot.
Are Usmle steps valid in Canada?
Mostly not, one or two provinces may accept.
can you please tell me, which province is that?
Hey I can't find your email
