The Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) is a licensing exam for medical graduates in Canada. It assesses medical knowledge, clinical decision-making, communication skills, and professional behaviours essential for safe medical practice in Canada.
The MCCQE has two parts:

Applicants must meet language proficiency requirements (English or French) and submit verified medical credentials.
MCCQE Part I is a computer-based exam that tests:

MCCQE Part II is an OSCE-style clinical skills assessment that evaluates:
Patient assessment and diagnostic skills
Clinical management and intervention
Communication and interpersonal skills
Professionalism and ethical practice
It typically involves simulated patient encounters across multiple stations to assess competence in real-world scenarios.
Part I is offered multiple times per year at MCC-approved testing centers worldwide.
