MCCQE Part II as a PGY-1

[MatyasKiraly]

Hello,

I'm a current PGY-1 in a US residency, but a canadian citizen. I want to keep all options open. I passed MCCQE part 1 without studying, and was hoping to do the same for part 2. Can I take it as an intern? The website is very confusing. I want all of this MCCQE stuff out of the way while I have the chance and my spring vacation lines up with when they would be offering it.

You have to prove that you did at least 12 months of residency training so the earliest you can do it is as a PGY-2
