The National Assessment Collaboration Objective Structured Clinical Examination (NAC OSCE) is a mandatory Canadian medical licensing exam administered by the Medical Council of Canada (MCC). It is designed specifically for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) seeking to practice medicine in Canada. The exam tests clinical skills across standardized patient encounters — including history-taking, physical examination, counselling, and clinical reasoning — and is a required step before entering residency.

Our AI is trained on real NAC OSCE case archetypes drawn from the MCC Objectives, Toronto Notes, and the Hurley OSCE Handbook. The simulated patient responds dynamically to your questions, volunteers relevant history cues only when properly prompted — just like a real standardized patient — and maintains a consistent clinical presentation throughout the 11-minute encounter. The 4-phase structure mirrors the actual exam format exactly, and you will never see the same scenario twice.

Yes — all three station types are fully supported. Clinical stations test history-taking and physical exam reasoning. Counseling stations test your ability to explain diagnoses, medications, and lifestyle changes to patients clearly and empathetically. Handover stations test structured clinical communication to another healthcare provider using frameworks like SBAR. You can choose your station type before every session from the lobby screen.

After each encounter, our AI evaluates your performance line-by-line against a hidden examiner checklist — exactly as MCC-trained examiners do on the real exam. You receive a score out of 100, a Pass/Fail verdict, and detailed commentary on each checklist item you covered or missed. The system also flags critical safety errors regardless of your overall score. Consistently targeting 65%+ in your practice sessions is a strong benchmark for real-exam readiness.

Yes. Nacosce-Buddy is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works on any modern browser — iOS Safari, Android Chrome, desktop Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. You can install it to your home screen for a native-app experience with offline support. Your session history and preferences sync automatically across all devices when you are signed in.

Yes — the Free plan gives you 1 complete exam session per month at no cost, with no credit card required. Each free session includes the full 4-phase exam (Setup → Encounter → Probe → Feedback), a complete rubric-graded score out of 100, and both voice and text interaction. It is the best way to experience the platform before committing to a paid plan. Monthly limits reset on the 1st of every month.

Passive reading builds knowledge but cannot build the active clinical communication skills the NAC OSCE actually tests. Traditional mock courses ($500–$1,000 each) offer only 10–15 practice encounters, require scheduling, and provide subjective feedback. Nacosce-Buddy gives you unlimited on-demand encounters graded against standardized checklists. Research on OSCE preparation consistently shows that deliberate repetition with immediate objective feedback is the single most effective strategy — which is exactly what this platform is built for.
