Welcome to McGill Journal of Medicine (MJM)’s Let’s Talk LMCC. This podcast series was designed to support medical students preparing for the Canadian Medical Council (MCC)’s licensing exam. Each episode aligns with specific LMCC objectives and is structured into two parts. Part one features an expert-led overview of the topic, followed by part two where we discuss LMCC-styled questions to reinforce learning. In this episode, 3rd year internal medicine residents Dr. Shehzeen Lalani and Dr. Mariya Yordanova present a structured, evidence-based approach to diagnosing and managing hypertension, reviewed by Dr. Laurence Green, general internist. The content aligns with Canadian LMCC objectives and Hypertension Canada guidelines.
