Any graduate of a medical school outside Canada or the USA must obtain a pass standing on the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Examination (MCCEE). This is the first step towards getting a license in a province, further training in Canada, or eligibility to apply for the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE).
The MCCEE evaluates general medical knowledge compared to graduates of Canadian medical schools. It tests your understanding of the principle fields of medicine, including internal medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatry, preventive medicine and community health, and surgery. Most of the questions are intended to evaluate clinical knowledge, but there are some questions on basic medical science.
The exam is held twice yearly, usually in March and September in various centres in Canada and abroad. It is offered in English and French.
