Intrepid86 Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 The last NAC exam took place on March 7 - four days before the pandemic state of emergency was declared (in Ontario). The regional testing center already had some Covid-19 precautions in place. My guess is the exam will likely proceed as planned, however as always, check for updates as time goes on. Nothing is certain anymore these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGrisham Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 For the IMGs applying this year, I would heavily weigh the pros and cons of your own application, and how that may fit with the risks/benefits of US match vs Canada match. As far as i know, the US match will occur FIRST this year, and not after the Canadian match like it usually is - but this may change if NRMP updates things or not. So keep a strong update on this. As you may be walking into having to take a huge risk of not ranking your US options if you are gungho about Canadian options; an un-envious decision if it came down to it.

ECFMG certification is still questioned without the CS do you think OSCE exams will be offered this fall like NAC and LMCC2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I do not know, keep an eye on the official websites and email them directly about NAC OSCE. I would assume ECFMG would waive CS requirement, as they depend on alot of IMGs coming into the US? Again, keep an eye on official sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
