Img guide please
Hi everyone,
I’m an IMG from India who recently completed MBBS and I’m planning to apply for an ObGyn residency in Canada through CaRMS. I understand that ObGyn is highly competitive, and I’m finding the amount of information online overwhelming and often conflicting.
I’m planning to take the MCCQE next year (likely in the first session), so I have some time to prepare. I’d really appreciate guidance on:
What should my preparation roadmap look like?
Which resources are considered the best for MCCQE and NAC OSCE preparation?
What QE1 score should I realistically aim for to be competitive for ObGyn?
Besides exam scores, what can I do over the coming year to strengthen my CaRMS application (research, electives, volunteering, certifications, etc.)?
Are there any common mistakes that IMGs should avoid?
I’d be grateful for any advice, especially from IMGs or residents who successfully matched. Thank you!
