OSCE Notes for IMG's
IMG's in Canada are often required to undergo OSCE examinations when applying for residency positions in Canada. Some of these programs are directly related to CaRMS, while others are specific to certain programs like the Alberta IMG program.
How can OSCE Notes help you? OSCE Notes were written by Canadian medical students who have taken many OSCE exams in the majority of specialties. We have compiled an "all you need to know" guide consisting of the majority of OSCE stations that you will see on your OSCE exam. Our book has been purchased by many IMG's and they've all been satisfied with their purchase.
