I hope I can pass MCCQE1 I Don't haves a job,I am 36 years old all my dreams related to MCCQE1,if I can choose between my life and MCCQE1 I would choose MCCQE1

[@stephenmc8271]

I've always believed MCCQE1 is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass

[@rhondaaceret2524]

So sorry about that am still looking forward too take my MCCQE1 exam on April just studying hard and praying to God I know I can make it.

[@Joshua-uv6vt]

MCCQE1 exam is so difficult & I don't know the reason why it should be?

[@benjaminfranklin4631]

After, 3-4 years of studying we are being challenged be the ultimate exam "MCCQE1" many students face difficulties in acquiring their house

[@lorientheresa4844]

I failed my MCCQE1 exam 2 times first was 2012 second was 2018 and I lost money on review questions and also wasted a lot of time studying which never helped me .

Thank you! Appreciate this video! Very useful tips!

[@LooneyGoon-sm3ve]

Dr Silva, hello. First of all, your content is very useful and easy to grasp. Thank you for sharing those great pieces of info. Can u please make a video detailing the process by which an IMG gets registration and after what exam would they be eligible to work in Canada. As well as detailing time frames needed to prepare, and time frame it takes from starting the process till reaching the goal of practicing in Canada. Thank you, Best regards.

Thank you for your amazing videos. How long do you think it would take to prepare for NAC osce?

[@yaminisharma139]

Hi Dr. Siva, A very informative video. Thankyou for making this such this it’s such a great help. I would also like to ask about NAC OSCE taking place in September virtually. Do we need to carry out the physical exam verbally ? Do we have 11 mins per station as before? Do we have SP and an examiner present at the same time? Do we have to list out our case findings verbally or written at the end of each station? Thank you once again. Your time is much appreciated!

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Hi Yamini. Thanks for the message and watching the videos. As far as I know from today, yes it’s 11 mins per station and the physical exam is just done verbally by describing what you are going to do and what you will be looking for in the exam. You have an examiner and SP present but not sure how involved the SP will be. It’s all done verbally as far as I know but things can always change. Also just to make sure I’m not in any way associated with the MCC organization so all my knowledge is just though my own experience and talking to other candidates. Official information should be found directly from the MCC

[@yaminisharma139]

@@DrSivaMahalingam Thankyou so much for taking time to reply. So we have to verbally explain our Physical exam findings negative and positive ? Appreciate your efforts to find information to help others in this difficult and confusing process.

justo despues de ver todos los videos tengo unas preguntas: lo que explicas del proceso de homologar la carrera es con el examen MCCQE1 y la residence medica junto con el NAC OSCE, puesto que me indicas que el material de estudio me sirve el mismo que hice durante mi años de estudiante en la facultad, pero por el cambio de pais no cambiarian mucho la epidemiologia y los manejos, en mi caso soy de colombia. 2. Yo puedo seleccionar la provincia que deseo estudiar mi residencia medica? me gustaria realizarla en calgary. 3. Aproximadamente cuando dinero se iria y cuanto duraria todo el proceso, hablando en terminos generales. Muchas Gracias!

[@abhishieksetiam.d.695]

Thank you 🙏 great video. Can you do a video on different types of boards in Canada, like CPSO, MCC, royal collage. I am a Canadian citizen, finished residency in internal medicine in USA and now doing a fellowship in infectious disease wanted to come home and practice in Canada Ontario. Not sure about this pathway 4 program in Ontario and royal collage exam etc. Thank you again

[@rossmd2739]

You are doing great informative videos. Do you have any insights about the new virtual method of testing? Thanks in advance.

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

I dont have any info on the virtual testing but I would assume it will all be verbal. Physical examination will be describing what your would do and what signs you are looking for.

[@abdiadam3808]

Thank you Dr. Siva, how about dr basil notes . I only read that book, is it enough for the exam.Thanks

[@ahmarhassan9113]

Informative video... I just want to know from which country u have done your undergratduation

[@DrSairahElizabethBenny]

Hello Dr.Siva Mahalingam Really appreciate the clarity of information in your videos 👍 Thankyou for all the information. I have a query , Someone who has done their post-graduation from India needs to clear these exams And once they clear these exams do they have to do the post graduation all over again ? Or is there a different program for someone who is already a post graduate ? The practise ready assesment (PRA) program , does it let internationally trained post graduate doctors work in Canada in their speciality after clearing the exams?

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Thanks for watching Sairah You can attempt to get your qualifications assessed through the various practice ready assessments programs. If you qualifications are accepted then you don't have to do residency over again. These practice ready assessments are quite tough to pass but it is possible to try this route first.

[@DrSairahElizabethBenny]

Thankyou so much for the reply Dr. Siva 😀

Do you have to pass MCCQE1 before NAC OSCE?

[@nishipatel4443]

hello dr, thankyou for sharing such an informative video ! wanted to ask if USMLE also valid for enterance in medical field in canada or is it only through MCCQE?

[@indujar4557]

Hi, ur videos are very informative. What is route to follow for obgyn from india? Do I need to do residency again or look for fellowships ?? Do we get license to practice after fellowship?

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

You can apply for fellowship in Canada. Unfortunately you will most likely need to do residency again in order to work as a consultant here with an independent license to practice. Very rare to get approved with practice ready assessment coming from India. No. You wont get an independent license to practice after fellowship.

If we have taken step 2 ck n CS is that acceptable or equivalent to nac osce to apply for residency or we need to take this too?

Yes, if you have a specialist qualification from Australia or USA, you can easily come to Canada to work. Easiest to come to Canada is from the USA. You almost can just walk in and work.

How did you go about constructing your study schedule for the NAC OSCE? I'll be working at the hospital while studying for the exam.

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Hi Thanks for watching. I specifically didn't have to write the NAC OSCE but I did write the MCCQE2 which was a very similar OSCE exam. I dedicated about 4 months for the MCCQE2 exam where I met 3 times a week with my study partner to practice questions. I would get a copy of the NAC OSCE : A comprehensive review book to help guide your study. Try and complete this book in the 4 month period. Working as a doctor is a good thing as you will be in touch with clinical medicine.

[@rachelmatthew183]

Thanks for your response!

Where can I get the NAC OSCE book that you mentioned?

[@aqhibnadeem1687]

Hey bro can you give us little clarity about PRA exam and entry at specialist level..especially whether indian postgraduation in pediatrics is eligible??

[@DrSivaMahalingam]

Hi Aqhib, Thanks for the message. Best thing to do would be to try and get a fellowship in pediatrics first and then make some contacts here in Canada. Once you are here you can explore the avenues to becoming a specialist here. From what I understand, Indian paediatric qualifications are not directly recognized here even through the PRA route. Hope this helps.

[@pranathiprakash1995]

Where can I get country wise, subject wise residency match details? Is this available anywhere? Where can we check how many IMGs from a particular country matched? How many applicants from a particular country? How many years passed since graduation? Age of resident? Is there any website that I can visit for getting such details? Also do IMGs who hold a specialization degree in addition to MBBS get preference over those who have MBBS alone?

Hi Pranathi. Thanks for watching. check this link out for the information you are looking for: www.carms.ca/data-reports/r1-data-reports/ IMG's with specialization degrees from the UK/Australia/USA/South Africa/Hong Kong may be able to get credit for their training. Other countries unfortunately not.

Thank you Dr. Siva for replying to me 😊 I have another question, please don't mind Can US doctors or IMGs practice in Canada after residency in the US? Do they have to give QE1 and QE2 for practicing in Canada? Is there any other exam or training such candidates have to take in Canada to become eligible to practice independently?

I don’t think it will increase more that 5 percent
