Preparing for the NAC OSCE (National Assessment Collaboration Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a critical step for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) aiming to practice medicine in Canada. At Jallah Academy, we understand how challenging this exam can be—and we are committed to helping candidates succeed with clarity, confidence, and competence.
What Is the NAC OSCE?
The NAC OSCE is a standardized clinical skills examination administered by the Medical Council of Canada (MCC). It evaluates whether IMGs possess the clinical knowledge, communication skills, and professional behavior expected of a Canadian medical graduate entering residency.
The exam is typically required for:
IMGs applying through CaRMS
Candidates pursuing postgraduate medical training in Canada
Exam Structure and Format
The NAC OSCE consists of a series of clinical stations, usually 10–12, each lasting approximately 11 minutes. Candidates rotate through stations that simulate real-life clinical scenarios.
You may be assessed on:
History taking
Physical examination
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis
Patient counseling and communication
Clinical decision-making
Professionalism and ethics
Key Skills Assessed
Success in the NAC OSCE goes beyond medical knowledge. Examiners focus heavily on:
Communication skills – clear, empathetic, patient-centered interactions
Clinical reasoning – logical approach to diagnosis and management
Time management – effective use of limited station time
Professional behavior – respect, ethics, and cultural sensitivity
At Jallah Academy, we emphasize all these areas through structured training and repeated practice.
