Clinical Assistant Assessment (CAA) Program Manitoba is the only province with a substitute for MCCQE1/NAC, offering IMGs an alternative way to qualify. The CAA Program consists of a written exam and an OSCE to assess readiness for a Clinical Assistant role. If successful, candidates are invited to apply for a Clinical Assistant license.
