The Medical Council of Canada (MCC; French: Conseil médical du Canada, CMC) is an organization charged with the partial assessment and evaluation of medical graduates and physicians through standardized examination. It grants the qualification called Licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada (LMCC), which is a requirement to independently practice medicine in Canada. The MCC's role in physician assessment has been repeatedly criticized as obsolete for several decades.
The MCC is governed by the Council, composed of up to 12 Councillors, which provides oversight on the management of the activities and affairs of the Medical Council of Canada. There are annual meetings to discuss budgets, policies, and assets. Regular day-to-day operation is led by the Executive Director and CEO, currently Dr. Maureen Topps.
