Program Agenda
The program takes place in the eastern standard time (EST) zone and will begin at 10:00 am on Monday, June 15, 2026 and will end on Friday, June 19, 2026 at 4:40 pm. In addition to the regular agenda, 4 optional recordings will be made available on Antibiotic Stewardship, GI Cancer Pathology, Head and Neck Masses, and Tips for your Exam.
Our program includes live multiple-choice questions (MCQs) during sessions, giving you immediate feedback to strengthen your preparation for the Canadian Royal College exam. In addition, participants can take a timed, graded online practice MCQ exam the week before the review program. This simulated testing environment provides a valuable opportunity to assess your readiness. To help measure the impact of the program, a post-program test will also be offered, allowing you to track your progress and consolidate your knowledge.
