  1. MCCQE Part 2: A Resident’s View Dr. Aaron Aggarwal PGY6, Clinical Fellow Queen’s University

  2. Who Is This Clown?? • RCPSC Internal Medicine specialist • Clinical Fellow in Sleep Medicine • Wrote my MCCQE Part 2 while training at Memorial University in 2006 • Marker for the MCCQE the past 2 years • Made changes to help with consistency, accuracy and expectations

  3. Why Should I Care? • Queen’s trainees have been steadily declining in performance over the last 4 years (the worst in the country last year) • Questions are more difficult and complex • Markers have higher expectations • Residents are trained less and are less experienced than before

  4. Some Of My Ideas / Memories • Much of the exam is Internal Medicine based so those residents have slight advantage with respect to studying • But the other stuff is much more long forgotten • Should try to study amongst specialties

  5. Basic Tips - OSCEs • You need to practice in an OSCE format • Say what you are doing • Explain why you are doing things • Let the examiners know what your thought process is and/or differential diagnoses • Be thorough in your evaluation • Don’t forget about the touchy-feely stuff

  6. Basic Tips - Written • Ensure that you read the question • Ensure that you read the instructions!! • They mean what they say • First answer on the line vs. many lines available • Be as specific as possible with answers
