After acing the MCAT as a premed, I had thought that I would never need to study for such an insane test ever again... and I don't think I've ever been more wrong in my entire life 😅 Having just completed the USMLE / Step exams for the American pathway and being about 2 weeks out from my final Canadian exam at the end of residency, I wanted to rank the hardest exams that I've ever taken as a doctor and talk about how they compare. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section below and good luck studying!

Hey everyone, hope you liked todays video :) This was a lot harder for me to put together than I had originally thought because I wanted to objectively compare exams that I had taken at different points in my life over the last 7 or so years. Do you agree with the list or would you move the ordering around at all?

Loved how Usmle exams prepped you to be a better doctor regardless of the scores 🙌🏻🔥

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

That is far and away the most important part about these exams 💪

Love this video! Would love to see a video on tips on studying some niche topics more tested on the MCCQE1 than step 2 CK such as ethics and which resources should be used 👍

Hey Doc. Can you please make a video focused on study tips for Canadian Ethics and Public health. IMGs are always confused when it comes to these topics. Thanks so much for all the great content you’ve provided so far.

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

I'm glad that the videos have been helpful :) I'll definitely look into putting something together if I can - do you mind sharing which topics specifically will be high yield?

@anushreepatel3749 2 ай бұрын

@@nxtgenmd Thanks for reply Doc. I am not well aware of high yield topics for MCCQE. But here are some points most IMGs including myself struggle with. 1) Where to find appropriate study material for Canadian specific ethics. [other than generalized overview in UWorld / Toronto notes]. 2) How to use CMPA website for studies? 3) If there’s any recent change in, Diagnosis/Investigation/Management guidelines of disease &/or addition of new health care policy, etc; what would be suitable source to look up such recent topics. 4) Is it important to read up public health policies for QE1 and if yes, please suggest source as well. Good luck for your final residency exit exam. I am sure you will do great. And once again your efforts are much appreciated. Thank you

Thanks for this. Canada would benefit us Canadians who practice in the states and have taken all 3 steps to just transition over. The US exams is wayyyy harder than the Canadian board exam.

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

I agree - I think most doctors would benefit from at least being exposed to the USMLE style of testing and studying 🤙

can you please go thru how you are studying for the CCFP ASAP? exam is coming up, would love to know how you are going about it

I don't think that I'll be able to get a video out on it before my test date (April 10) but my studying right now has been through reviewing the 105 family medicine topics and all Canadian screening guidelines for common community presentations (dyslipidemia, htn, colon cancer, pap, mammography, low dose CT, PSA, smoking and alcohol cessation, etc.). A few of my friends and I also pitched in and signed up for the sampprep.ca question bank since they allow multiple users. Beyond that, I've just been focusing on my school's practice question document that was circulated between the residents. Good luck with your studying!

Thank you for breaking down all stuff. Do you think MCAT score is a good predictor of success on steps?

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! It depends on a few different circumstances. In general, doing well on the MCAT means that you have built good skills as a "test taker." This will be useful for anyone on the USMLE steps. Other important factors though are as follows: 1) Did you train with an American based curriculum? 2) How long did you get to study for and do you have any dedicated study time set aside to prepare? 3) How did you prepare for the step exams? Best value for money is focusing on multiple practice tests and corrections after a relatively "brief" knowledge review. A practice question bank is very important. All the best 🤙

@@nxtgenmd thank you for answering! Targeted practice is very important and how you went through all the semesters, I think.

Just pass the lmcc and going into FM residency, yeah 95% pass rate says alot about the lmcc im glad they will change the format tho, do you have a video or any tips about how to study for the cfpc exam

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

Congrats on the pass 🤙 I don't have a video on the CFPC exam yet since mine is later this month, but I'll probably have one up before I graduate this year. So far my studying right now has been through reviewing the 105 family medicine topics and all Canadian screening guidelines for common community presentations (dyslipidemia, htn, colon cancer, pap, mammography, low dose CT, PSA, smoking and alcohol cessation, etc.).

also is your msi monitor 4k, recently got one and it looks the same 👌

Yes it is and I'm a big fan of this one compared to some of my previous ones - was still reasonably cost effective too 🤙

Hi there , quick question after family medicine residency you can work as a GP??

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

Yes, after residency you get to work 💪 Just a small note though that there is no longer a GP specialty in Canada - large adoption of family medicine as a specialty across Canada was completed by 2007. So you get certified as a “family medicine specialist.” And as a result you can work in many different jobs from emergency medicine to geriatrics

Sir how much medical student loans do you have? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

@nxtgenmd 2 ай бұрын

It's hard to quantify the cost as rent / food / gas / travel for electives / study resources / etc. are often left out. Medical school was ~ $26,000 per year x 3 years + undergrad @ ~ $7,000 x 5 years. If you're including the cost of rent in a bigger city, you'll need to factor in an additional 1500 - 2000 per month. Most of my friends would say that our debt is between $200,000 - $300,000 by the time we graduate from residency. We get our lines of credit from a Canadian bank and are currently paying ~ 7% in interest.

@dimonvorobko8284 2 ай бұрын

With the current interest rates and putting all together tuition+housing+food+studying tools with a standard 30 years pay off period, it will cost more than a million US$. I made a calculation.
