AMC (Australian Medical Council)

AMC (Australian Medical Council)

Its needless to say you require this health license to work in Australia.As Australia is one of the best places to live in this earth,no wonders there  a lot of demand to work there.so in short I am writing about the Australian medical council exam.
Most foreign trained doctors have medical qualifications not recognised in Australia. Thus they must gain eligibility by passing the AMC MCQ and Clinical examinations. There after they are required to work as an intern in any Australian accredited hospital,completing a year of supervised training approved by the relevant State Medical Board. Afterwards,they can obtain their general registration as a medical practitioner in Australia.
Doing the AMC exam is essential for any OTD wanting to find work in Australia as a Doctor.

It has two parts
The 1sr part is MCQ type questions .
And the 2nd part is clinical exam.
After passing both you need to work under a superviser in any hospital in Australia.
You will need to pass IELTS exam and score minimum7.0 after part 1
Your MBBS degree have to be verified from your medical college.
p.s- it’s a lengthy process and takes around 2 to 3yrs to pass. and the jobs are mostly outside city.

Details about the exam are written below.its a rip off from the amc website 
The examination comprises of 2 parts, being a multiple-choice questionnaire and a clinical examination.

The Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) is a test of the principles and practice of medicine in the fields of internal medicine, paediatrics, psychiatry, surgery and obstetrics and gynaecology. A number of questions on each discipline also have a focus on general practice.

The clinical examinations evaluate clinical competence in terms of medical knowledge, clinical skills and professional attitudes for the safe and effective clinical practice of medicine in the Australian community.

The exams consist of two linked stages:
Stage 1 is an assessment of consulting skills in medicine and surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology and paediatrics.
