Welcome
Nationally and globally, there is a shortage of many healthcare professionals, including physicians. We recognize that in Alberta and in Canada there are unemployed or underemployed IMG physicians who wish to use their skills in health care service delivery in Canada.
We have developed programs that support International Medical Graduates integrate successfully into the Canadian Healthcare system. Our programs increase communication skills and knowledge of patient-centred care.
We also have programs that train preceptors working with IMGs in residence or as an examiner on OSCE exams to assess communication skills and language proficiency levels for practice.

Do you need to do the iBT TOEFL as part of the licensure process? Are you needing to increase your scores in order to apply for the NAC OSCE? MCAP recomends the following online program offered by LearningU. Taking this practice TOEFL preparation course and the subsequent practice exam provides you with information on how much time your answers take relative to the time allowed, how the iBT exam functions, and how to recognize and answer specific types of TOEFL questions. The TOEFL Preparation program is divided into three important areas: integrated strategy lessons, authentic practice tests, and feedback from native English graders.
