1fuzzy2dino3 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 hi guys, so i'm still kind of confused about the lmcc vs mccqe... vs mccee?? there are too many of these acronyms. but from what i've read i seem to have distilled this into the categories below. would you kindly tell me if i'm on the right ( or wrong! ) track? lmcc --- written at the end of 4th year of medical school.... allows you to enter residency. mccqe1 --- ?? written while in residency?? mccqe2 - - written in second year residency? i.e. pgy2? mccee --- for IMGs. once passed, they can then write the mccqe 1...and then mccqe 2 in their residency prgm (once matched).

ellorie Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I think that LMCC is licentiate of the medical college of canada, which is what you are after you have completed the MCCQE1 (4th year) and MCCQE2 (after PGY1). You are right about the MCCEE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the MCCEE Correct. LMCC is the licensing body that administers the exams (mccqe's) Part 1 is written at the end of 4th yr. Part 2 is written in the fall of second yr. If you are in a surgical specialty, you need to write principles of surgery in the spring of 2nd yr too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NLengr Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 And then there is the USMLE! Starting with Part 1 at the end of 2nd year. Except that's not a requirement to practice in Canada so many people don't do it. (I didn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 True, but some of us want to keep our options open and it is easier to do them when in the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
