This is obscene and shows complete disdain for the financial security of resident physicians. We’ve been playing this game since MCAT days. Enough is enough @MedCouncilCan @OntariosDoctors @ResidentDoctors @canadian #mccqe

[Tal Milman @TheclimbingOB]

@residentdoctors @MedCouncilCan should demonstrate evidence that the MCCQE-II positively impacts physician/resident training. With the Canada-wide switch to #CBME, why are cash-strapped residents forced to throw money at something with no evidence? @ontariosdoctors
@CMA_Docs

[Tal Milman @TheclimbingOB]

@ResidentDoctors Asking us about our experiences with MCCQEII and COVID... Why are we still talking about this in 2020? At $2,780, the exam represents 5.5% of our annual after-tax income... why are we still participating in the @MedCouncilCan cashgrab? @OntariosDoctors @CMA_Docs

[Quebecky with the Curly Hair @quebeckymd]

@MedCouncilCan It’s still unnecessary human gatherings

[Sina @SinaMarzoughi]

@MedCouncilCan Even if there’s one COVID positive resident or examiner, this could take out a significant chunk of the resident workforce in a province.

Were there any physicians involved with making this decision or all these career administrators who understand nothing about public health?

[Jim Denstedt @JimDenstedtMD]

On my first day of residency I forgot a patient was on a drop that we wanted to stop (until after reviewing and sending them home). So I had to admit this to the senior and call the patient to tell them. Mistakes happen! Important to recognize and be honest

@DocMCohen @MedCouncilCan I was berated - no, treated like a criminal - for trying to get a pad out of my purse during sequestration.

[Ruth Habte, MD @ruthmhabte]

Please re-evaluate what you’re doing @PrometricGlobal & @MedCouncilCan, you’re contributing to an unhealthy resident physician workforce and no one should be forced to take an exam under these conditions. Better yet, in an era with RC & CFPC why is this exam needed at all? 4/4

[Jordan D. Jenkins, MD @Speedlord21]

Gold! So true!!

[Ruth Habte, MD @ruthmhabte]

If I told a patient they had a 1 in 6 chance (16%) of experiencing significant issues (>/=2 restarts) with a treatment (#MCCQE1), I don’t think they’d be reassured by me saying it’s “not a frequent issue”

[Kay M. Dingwell🍁🩺🏳️‍🌈 @CanadianKayMD]

@DocMCohen @MedCouncilCan @MedCouncilCan seems determined to do absolutely nothing to help candidates in any way. It’s been almost 3 months since we’ve had any information about the MCCQE2 scheduling. Plenty of candidates had their MCCQE1 test malfunction and now have to rewrite the entire thing.

@stefan_d_jevtic @MedCouncilCan We are far from reaching equity in medicine.

[Doctoresse @doctoresse0]

@stefan_d_jevtic @MedCouncilCan It’s like the people making these decisions did not themselves start their lives in someone’s uterus. That someone needs 100% FULL SUPPORT during pregnancy, post-partum and for lactation.

[Stefan D. Jevtic, MD @stefan_d_jevtic]

A medical colleague was denied food/water accommodations for her licensing exam at 9 weeks pregnant because the request had to be “at least 9 weeks in advance” .. before she was pregnant

Appalled by this blatant discrimination in medicine 😡 @MedCouncilCan

[Wendy Ye @IMWendyYe]

This is a completely unacceptable way to treat a human being. I’ve heard so many horrifying stories of racism, and incompetence from @MedCouncilCan We’re paying $1500 - $3000 to be discriminated and denied basic human rights.

[RealMed, MD🇨🇦💅🏽 @RealMed3]

And as everyone knows MCCQE II aka LMCC part 2 is a useless exam that is redundant and a money grab for @MedCouncilCan - so can you plz cancel this formality & refund our money. K thx.
@CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors @Royal_College #medtwitter

[Jordan D. Jenkins, MD @Speedlord21]

@MedCouncilCan shame on all provincial regulatory bodies who require these outdated, obsolete, redundant and highway robbery of exams. We know your members have conflict on interest and work for MCC. Shame @cpso_ca @CPSA_CA @cpsbc_ca @DoctorsManitoba @CPS_Sask @cpsns_ca @CMQ_org
