Sinopsis
The MCC examines medical school graduates and grants licensure to legally practice medicine in Canada. Licensure in Canada is formally obtained through the LMCC, which requires successful completion of the MCCQE Part I and II. In general, medical students in Canada complete the MCCQE Part 1 at the end of their undergraduate medical education (just before graduation from medical school) and before beginning their postgraduate medical training (i.e., residency training program).
The MCCQE Part I is a two-part computer-based test. The first section, of 3.5 hours, consists of 196 MCQs and is completed the morning of the examination day (Table 1.1). The afternoon component consists of the CDM section, a 4-hour section of approximately 60 cases, each associated with one to four short-menu or short-written answer style questions. For both portions of the examination, a table of normal values is provided (see appendix).
The MCQ section of the examination is divided into 7 subsections of 28 questions each. Each question is in the format of a question stem followed by a list of five answer choices. Only one answer choice is correct for each question. Each question may be accompanied by an image or table.
The CDM section of the examination consists of approximately 80 questions, and focuses on CDM and problem-solving skills. Questions in the realm of differential diagnosis, diagnostic test selection, clinical data collection and patient management should be expected. In this section, there are short-menu questions, consisting of between 10 and 40 option choices; examinees are asked to either select one answer, a certain number of answer options, or as many answer options as are appropriate. Within the CDM section, short-written response (‘‘write-in’’) questions should be expected. Responses should be specific, use generic drug names, and worded carefully as directed by the question.
Both sections of the MCCQE Part I are based on the Objectives for the Qualifying Examination. The latest version of the Objectives was established in 2003 by the MCC, and outlines the expectation of competent physicians, consisting of General Objectives and Clinical Presentations.
The General Objectives for the Part I outline history taking and physical exam skills. Competent candidates are expected to communicate effectively with patients, families, and other relevant persons. It is expected that a candidate will be able to collect data through history taking; conduct appropriate physical exams; select, interpret, and determine the reliability of clinical investigations; and use CDM strategies and judgment to arrive at a diagnosis and appropriate management strategy. To appropriately care for patients, the MCC recognizes that physicians must be versed in topics of health promotion and maintenance, critical appraisal of medical evidence, medical economics, and the C2LEO aspects of medicine.
The Clinical Presentations of the MCCQE Objectives define the clinical competencies of the medical graduate specific to select common presentations. Within each clinical presentation, the MCC define the pertinent data collection, diagnostics, clinical problemsolving, and management strategies required of the competent examinee.
