All applicants to the Doctor of Medicine Degree in the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University are required to complete an online assessment, Casper^®, to be eligible for admission. Casper is an online test that assesses for the personal and professional characteristics we believe are important for successful students and graduates of our program. It is a compliment to the other tools that we use for applicant screening. In implementing Casper, we are trying to further enhance fairness and objectivity in our selection process.
 
In order to take Casper, you will be responsible for securing access to a laptop or desktop computer with webcam and audio capabilities. You will require the following for both account creation and taking the test: 

• Government-issued photo ID
• Valid email address
• Working webcam
• Working microphone
• Reliable high-speed internet connection 

Casper can be taken practically anywhere that you can satisfy the aforementioned requirements. Please go to www.takeCasper.com to register your Casper account and sign up for the CSP-10211 – Canadian Professional Health Sciences version of Casper using a piece of government-issued photo ID.

You must release your Casper score to all schools to which you are applying; you must distribute your scores to Memorial University by Friday, September 27, 2024.  No exceptions will be made for applicants who fail to release their score to MUN by this date; applications with missing Casper scores after September 27, 2024 will be closed. There will be no additional tests scheduled and the most up to date information can be found by browsing the Test Dates and Times on takeCasper.com.

The Casper test is comprised of 14 sections: 6 video-based and 8 text-based scenarios. 

Halfway through the test, there is an optional 15-minute break. Each of the 14 responses are anonymized and scored by a unique rater, giving a robust and reliable impression of your personal and professional characteristics. No studying is required; however, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the test format via the System Requirements Check and a 14 section practice test prior to taking Casper.  Additional helpful resources are available free of charge at Take Casper Test Prep and Take Casper FAQs. 
 
The cost of the Casper exam is $50CAD and for each school you would like to receive your scores, there is a distribution fee of $18CAD. Casper test results are valid for only one admissions cycle. Applicants who have already taken Casper in previous years will be required to re-take it.
