Beginning Residency

There are a few important things to complete before beginning residency, including:

 

Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Exam I

UBC encourages all residents to take the MCCQE-I prior to beginning residency, or to take it as soon as possible. The MCCQE-I is a, “one-day, computer-based test that assesses the competence of candidates who have obtained their medical degree, for entry into supervised clinical practice in postgraduate training programs.”

For more information please visit the Medical Council of Canada

 

 

Licensure

Most programs require you to apply directly to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC for your educational licensure and pay the annual fee.
