The challenge

The Language proof for doctors (MedReg and health insurance admission) decides whether Kanton grants your licence.

  • The exam covers the whole breadth of clinical medicine, from emergencies to rare diagnoses. Textbooks do not tell you what Kanton actually asks.
  • Time pressure in the exam is real, and pacing has to be trained in advance.
  • The question style is specific: clinical scenarios, best-answer choices and distractors that look right.
  • Working full time leaves little room to plan revision, and a retake costs months of waiting and another exam fee.
  • The oral or practical part is hard to practise alone.

How MediFlow solves it

  • A question bank built on the published content of Kanton, organised by topic, so you know what matters.
  • Timed mock exams in the real exam format train your pace before the real day.
  • Every answer is explained, including why the other options are wrong.
  • A study plan up to your exam date tells you what to do each day and brings weak topics back for review.
  • An AI examiner lets you rehearse the oral or practical part at any time.
