MCCQE Part I scheduling is now open for the April/May 2025 session

Scheduling for the Medical Council of Canada Qualifying Examination (MCCQE) Part I for the April 9 to May 21, 2025 session is now available through our vendor Prometric.

The MCCQE Part I is offered at available Prometric test centres and via remote proctoring. Before you can schedule your exam appointment, your MCCQE Part I application must be accepted in your physiciansapply.ca account. Once your application is approved, a message advising you to proceed to scheduling with Prometric is sent through your account. This message includes instructions on the scheduling process.

Please note that scheduling with Prometric is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Starting in April 2025, the MCCQE Part I will be delivered in a shorter format with a 6.5 hour appointment time. The exam will be offered over three sessions in 2025.

To help you study for the exam, the MCC’s new Preparatory Examination (PE) and PE-Lite align with the shortened MCCQE Part I.
