Bad Med Bosses specifically talks about a dirty little secret in Medicine. Doctors are often subpar managers. We struggle to support the needs of workers around us and deal with bad things like bullies in Medicine. This channel hopes to correct that by sharing stories about both good and bad bosses in Medicine as well as advice for both trainees and the bosses.
Informative and a well thought off video.Thanks:)I feel the biggest roadblock i've faced during my job search the difficulty of landing a 'suitable job' and AHPRA with their tedious regime.In terms of tips,i think highlighting dates when job campaigns open are vital.
thanks Nava Nethan and important point, am happy to go over this a bit more on the livestream next Tuesday evening
Thanks so much Dr. for your videos , these are invaluable for an IMG like me🙏🙏
Glad you like them!
Hello! I am a medical student from central asia! Your video is very, very helpful! It helps me to get a glimps of idea about the things what I should be starting to prepare!
Thank u!
+Yesol Hur thank you very much
This was such an informative video! Thank you so much for the time you've put into making such thoughtful, detailed, and clear videos and for also answering the questions we've asked. I've gotten alot of clarity from your videos and website into the process for working in Australia.
Thanks very much fruitco15. It’s comments like that which keep me going 😬
Hi sir ,you can make a new video about specialist registration way !thank you very much
Thanks thanh ri phan it has been done
You Are Great !!!
many thanks
Thanks Mostafa :)
On the standard pathway is the 1 year of supervised work considered as PGY1
Do you mean for pay purposes or in terms of the type of experience?
Great video! Thank you for this!
Thanks a lot 🙏
Thank you for this amazing and informative video! I have a couple of questions:
1. If I did an intern year in my country of origin, do I have to send a document as proof of it as a credential through EPIC?
2. What happens if I get a job offer, apply for a work visa but it takes too long to be processed and I get it after the day the job starts?
3. When applying for jobs, is it better to go directly (physically) to hospitals and ask, or just apply online?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Oscar one question at a time please.
1. You don’t normally need to send proof of this to EPIC
@@CareerDoctor Thank you! And sorry, won't happen again!
Regarding my second question, it's because from what I understand, to apply for jobs with a provisional registration I can't apply for permanent work visas, only for temporary ones. However, those visas can take long processing times, so I was wondering what would happen if I get a job offer but because of the visa processing time I get it after the date my job starts.
Sorry for the long post and so many questions.
If you are unable to take up your post on time the offer can be rescinded.
Don't forget to let me know about your experiences with obtaining a provisional registration post in Australia
Your videos are extremely helpful! I am a research fellow in the field of Pathology and am seeking to do Residency in pathology in Australia, does that mean that the supervised practice will be in a pathology setting?
Hi Michael for standard pathway the provisional registration year needs to be a general experience.
@@CareerDoctor oh okay, thanks for the quick reply!
Hi and thanks for your great videos, very helpful.
I had a question, about residency. Would you please give some information about the residency process in Australia? And what are the key points for matching the competitive residencies.
Hi first off it’s not called residency here. I have some other videos covering this question.
Getting jobs even after passing standard pathway AMC-2 is hard. It is a bottle neck for many doctors trying to get into the health system. This is often precipitated by the lack of recency in practice accrued due to preparation for these exams while staying in Australia. Most of the jobs advertised in hospitals are for doctors already having full general registration. You cannot get full general registration without getting your first job on provisional registration. Hope the Covid-19 situation eases some of these absurd rules.
I agree it’s a catch-22 for many. Happily for most (but sadly for IMGs) COVID-19 is not improving the situation here as the hospitals are less busy than usual.
Rural hospitals are more friendly to foreign doctors and you are more likely to get a job there.
First of all thank you for this very informative video! I have a question about the visa: One of the requirements to get a permanent visa is to have a job offer, but to get a job offer you have to have a permanent visa... This is a problem that I cannot solve and I need your help.
Hi Beril you don’t need permanent residency to be given a job offer. It’s just that all jobs go to citizens and permanent residents first. You have to apply for a job where there is no suitable applicants who are citizens or permanent residents.
I've been watching your videos but i havent yet figured out how an IMG can apply for specialty training/fellowship in australia.
Hi Ti if its via the Standard Pathway then you have to obtain general registration first.
@@CareerDoctor Is it possible to email you? I need a little guidance.
Ti Heera I believe you have already been in contact
Hello, thank you for the video!
Question though: I graduated last year and I have just completed a year of internship. I passed AMC 1 and the OET’s. I am looking to apply for a supervised position (GP) with limited registration until I take part 2 of the test. I saw that AHPRA requires a full 4 week equivalent in the scope of practice.
Do I need to have years worth of experience to apply for a GP position or am I good to go after just a few week?
You are far too inexperienced to be able to apply for GP positions under limited registration.
Hello sir first of all thanks a lot for this informative video.I recently cleared my CAT step 1 AMC and wanted to know how can I proceed for the job application and also about WBA? Thanks in advance
Pls see other videos on the channel.
Thank you for your videos ! Do we still need the ielts even when having the Australian citizenship ?
+Sofia Nassiri it depends on other things like whether your high schooling was in English.
@@CareerDoctor Is there any advantage of being an Australian citizen ? Is there a higher chance to pass the exams and in term of choosing the speciality after that for exemple ? Thank you .
+Sofia Nassiri hi being a Citizen is not going to help you pass the exams, you don’t get more points for being a Citizen
@@CareerDoctor if my high schooling was in English and I did the MBBS abroad do I need to do the IELTs?
Greetings! I am a medical student from Serbia and Montenegro with Australian citizenship. What is the procedure to get my chance at specialization in Australia and working there? Thanks a lot!
Hi Milan you are watching the right video. With Australian Citizenship the process will be a fair bit easier. I would suggest completing your degree in Serbia and Montenegro and if you are required to do an internship there do at least that. One or two years clinical experience is generally preferable. You would then sit for the AMC Certificate as described in the video, and try to get your first provisional registration. Once you complete this post successfully you will be able to apply for general registration and then apply for specialty training. One thing you will have to do , even though you are an Australian Citizen is sit an English test. Because you have been studying Medicine in another language.
@@CareerDoctor I was sure it was necessary IELTS test,but i didn't know about doing internship in Serbia and Montenegro for that duration. Thanks a lot for your time and help, it means a lot!
@@CareerDoctor Am i reading it correctly that if you have completed your internship overseas, passed the AMC, you are granted the provisional registration? And with that you can apply for the general registration and JHO (PGY2) positions? What is required between the provisional and general registration in this scenario?
Hi Stephen the critical thing is being offered a job. With AMC parts 1&2 you can apply for PGY2+ roles. Do your provisional registration year and then go for general registration.
Greetings Anthony, is it possible for me to ask a few questions about the application process ? As I just graduated from the UK and am Australia Permanent Residency holder, may I know
1) do I need to sit for the MCQ and ielts ?
2) when is the deadline of the application for standard pathway
3) Do I stand a higher chance to secure a spot compare to the other candidates
4) Is there any other area that I need to be aware of
thank you very much
Hi 1) no you don’t need to do MCQ and probably not IELTS
2) there is no deadline you apply when you have a position
3) yes as you have PR and are eligible for competent authority
4) probably. I offer coaching services to look at your individual circumstances.
Thank you so much for your explanation. I’m a fresh medical graduate. Unfortunately, due to the COVID I can’t return to my medical school in China since they closed the border and not giving students visa from early 2020 till now , I’m not able to receive ANY clinical rotation(zero rotation nor internship). Do I still have a chance to establish a portfolio, apply to sit for the exam?
You can sit the AMC. But you will find it hard to convince someone to give you a job.
@@CareerDoctor like those hospitals will require a rotation prof etc. while applying?
They are unlikely to want to employ you of you have not worked in medicine before. It’s a competitive process.
@@CareerDoctor we can do the AMC 1 at home Pearson vue isn’t it? Let’s say I passed the exam and IELTS etc, and I send CV to hospitals applying jobs, these all can be down at my hometown, right? So that If I fail to apply a job in AUS hospital, I still can consider alternatives and find a job at home at the same time
The AMC 1 Exam is provided at a number of centres around the world. Not necessarily your hometown.
Hello! Can you tell us about current situation with Covid-19? Is it possible to take an AMC MCQ CAT and Clinical Exam now? Or we have to wait?
MCQ exams are running www.amc.org.au/assessment/mcq/mcq-examination-events/ Clinicals remain on hold
Sir, when should we apply for our Australian visa? Is it after passing AMC CAT MCQ?
Hi Deepak the answer is it depends. The majority of IMGs are successful in obtaining a position by being able to appear for an in person interview. So you may wish to apply for a tourist or study visa to come to Australia for a period of time to see if you can find a suitable position. Or you may want to wait till after you complete your Clinical examinations. Again, many find it useful to study for these in Australia and you have to sit these in Australia. Does that answer your question?
So basically from what I have gathered from your video, is that if I am currently overseas based and not an australian PR or citizen who is an IMG, then I may have a harder time looking for a job as compared to someone who is already based in Aussie..
Hi yes that’s likely to be true. It’s a lot easier to be applying for jobs in person. That being said Australia is a big country and you can’t be everywhere.
Hello! I am a medical student in Romania, an EU country, and I want to pursue my specialty training in Australia. In Romania, the medical school program lasts six years, with the last three years consisting of clinical rotations through all medical specialties. For instance, one month in emergency medicine, one month in general surgery, one month in pediatrics, and so on. Upon graduation, there is no required internship.
My question is, once I have passed AMC1 and AMC2, can I start my specialty training in Australia directly without having completed an internship in my home country, since such an internship does not exist? Or do I need to work in Romania for a period before taking AMC1 and AMC2? In Romania, you can only work after graduation as a doctor in training, which means I would need to choose a specialty in order to work. However, this is not considered an internship but rather a doctor in training. What specialty would you recommend that would help me continue my training in Australia?
If you don't need to complete an internship in your country then you don't need to do one for Australia. You will need to complete 12 months experience under the Standard Pathway prior to being able to apply for specialist training. You also need PR for about 50% of the training programs.
I am a Japanese doctor. My specialty is Orthopedics. In 2021, I will be a specialist.
I am planning to work as a clinical doctor in Australia within 2 years.
I have two questions.
1. What is the criteria to be a clinical doctor in Australia. As far as I know, IELTS score overall 7.5 ( each section 7.0) is the standard.
2. After I get to be a Japanese specialist, do I work as a resident or others in Australia?
3. If I work as a doctor in Australia, how many years am I able to stay in Australia. Basically, once I get a job in Australia, the term of VISA will be extended?
Hi you will find all of those questions are answered in other videos on this channel.
What if i have a medical degree but i havent done internship am i eligible for the exam and can i do internship there what about the cost coming to australia tell us about sponsor things visa how to apply. Tell us something more cost of staying there until we clear the second step thanks and can we work as a part time there. Thanks
+inayat ali thanks I’d encourage you to watch my other videos where I have answered some of your questions. I’ll be covering costs in future videos.
Medical Internship Australia - Who Is Eligible? th-cam.com/video/DwrCMSNYPJQ/w-d-xo.html
Great video Dr. Anthony. Thank you so much.I recently cleared AMC-1 . I have been offered a job at a medical practice (GP) where I was doing an obsrversip. Will I be eligible for this? Even thou it is a rural area, unfortunately it is not an area of need. Would it have been any different if it was an area of need? Kindly do a video on general practice route.. Thanks in advance
Yes it is possible to do your supervised year in general practice.
Career Doctor hi Doctor . Could you please do a video about the 12 months of supervised practice in general practice based ?
I’m happy to interview someone who has done this. But don’t have any current volunteers.
Sir.. When do we need IELTs exams ,before AMC certificate or after that?
Hi you need IELTS or equivalent to apply for your job and to gain registration. You can sit the AMC without IELTS.
@@CareerDoctor do I need to do an IELTs if I completed VCE English in year 12 (and scored very highly) and then went on to do my MBBS overseas? Btw your videos are very helpful :)
Thx that's not really going to help you
Hi. Can you please clear out the pathway to get into speciality after achieving general registration? How can I get into a residency programme after I have my general registration?
Firstly, there are no "residency programs" in Australia. It's called specialty training. If you go and watch my video on how specialty training works you will get your answers.
Hi Anthony, just have a quick question - what is the difference between
1. AMC Approved Foreign Medical School + (No Internship in your home country) + AMC1 + AMC2 then provisional registration and,
2. AMC Approved Foreign Medical School + Internship in your home country + AMC1 + AMC2 then provisional registration?
Hi BK the quick answer is that for 1. You won't be able to gain registration as the Medical Board of Australia requires evidence of having completed an internship or equivalent.
@@CareerDoctor Thank you Anthony,
So does the Medical Board of Australia recognise overseas internship or equivalent?
It is normally AMC Approved Foreign Medical + Internship in your home country + AMC1 + AMC2 + 12 months employment in Australia = general registration?
I understand it is very hard but if you do the internship in Australia as an IMG, do you still have to do the 12 months employment in Australia?
B K Yes.Yes.And yes.
Hi sir, the only question I have for the Standard pathway. Do I have to physically find a 12 month supervised job myself or does the association find one for me?
Thanks! super informative videos
You have to find a job for yourself
Hello, Dr. I have 2 questions: 1. Is there any recommended online course to prepare for the first MCQ exam? 2. How can i find the AMC accredited jobs in order to skip the clinical examination and how plausible is it to get one?
I’ll answer the first question. There are many online courses. I don’t have strong views on any of them. Shahriars and ARIMGSAS have reasonable reputations.
@@CareerDoctor thank you!
Hello, thank you for the great video. I want to ask, is FRCR oncology certificate valid in Australia to get specialist or resident position? Or we still should do AMC part 1? Thank you
No. Because the FRCR is not a specialty qualification. Its evidence of obtaining a pass in exams.
Hi..we IMGs appreciate the good work you are doing. i wanted to know after getting general registration what is the pathway to get into Internal Medicine Training? Is IM very hard speciality to get into? how many years of experience one needs to get into that?
Reasonably easy. You apply for basic physician.training first.
@@CareerDoctor thank you very much for your prompt reply. If one passes both AMC exams do you provide professional consult to help with resume and interviews?
sam 1994 yes I do the options and links are in the video description
@@CareerDoctor Thank you very much🙂
@@CareerDoctor For an indian img giving plab and 1 year experience in UK thn applying in australia or going through standard pathwat directly? what do you think is better?
Thank you for your helpful videos.
What do you think about the alternative to the AMC step II, the so called "workplace based assessment (WBA)"? How realistic is it to be accepted in such a programme?
About 200 a year get into the program. If you can get a job at a hospital with a WBA program it’s a great option.
Hi, thank you for this helpful video. I'm a British Citizen with a medical degree from Ukraine. I plan on going through the standard pathway and have recently booked my AMC 1 exam. My question is, I don't have any work experience as a Dr, and is currently not registered as a Dr. yet, is there still a chance of getting a job in Australia after passing AMC 1 or if I pass both AMC 1 and 2, would that make a difference?
Without any health professional experience it is unlikely that an employer in Australia will be willing to take you on. The Part 2 is not going to improve this very much.
Hello Dr. Anthony. Thank you for the very informative video. I have AMC 1 and I'm thinking about doing an internship outside Australia. I don't have PR/TR in Australia, so I will be in my home country when I start to apply for jobs.
Could you please let me know what are my chances of securing a job (with sponsorship) given my experience of only 1 year and the lack of PR/TR in Australia ? Will it be difficult to secure a job ?
Yes. That’s difficult as you are in the same boat as many others.
Thank you for your prompt response Dr.Anthony. If I do AMC 2 after my internship will I have a good chance of getting a job ? Or will it still be difficult to secure a job given my 1 year experience (in my home country), completion of AMC 1 & AMC 2 and the lack of PR/TR in Australia ?
Hi there! thank you so much your video was very informative. Quick question do physicians get paid during the provisional registration period (12 month) before they are granted general registration?
Thanks in advance!
Hi yes. You get paid to work as a doctor in Australia.
@@CareerDoctor Wow! Thank you!
No problems. I've actually had that question a few times now. Its kind of funny because the Australian culture is very much worker focused. So we get pretty upset here if someone is doing a job and not getting paid for it.
@@CareerDoctor Thats beautiful, i did read somewhere on the web that doctors don't get paid for the provisional year. Glad that you are providing accurate information. Keep up the great work. I subbed btw:)
Hello. I am going to be graduated next year from Medical university which is 6 years. In our country internship is not obligatory to be passed by medical graduates. If I want after my graduation to have job permission in Australia, should I pass an internship here in my country which is not obligatory, and then get to Australia? If no, then if I pass my MCQ exam, will I be obligated to pass the internship in Australia when I come to Australia?
If your country does not require internship to gain full registration. Then you don’t need to do an internship.

Hello :)
I am sorry to comment on an older video, I just found it.
Thank you for your help.
I was wondering, is there an expiration date on my AMC MCQ approval?
Meaning, may I undertanke the AMC MCQ whilst doing my intern year in my country of residence and then use it to try and secure a position in the following year/take de Clinical in Aus the following year?
Hi there’s no expiry dates on AMC exams
Hello Anthony! Thank you very much for your videos! They've been very helpful to me. I'm a medical student from Brazil considering to work in Australia and I noticed that although my medical school is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools, it isn't listed in the Australian Medical Council. Would you know what is the process for a medical school to become part of that list? Are there any documents the school must provide to the Council or is it something the Council does by itself? Could the fact that medicine is a new course at my university interfere in it? Thank you very much!
Hi thanks for the positive feedback. Yes. It’s quite likely to be because your school is new. The AMC will generally accept a school that is on the WDOMS list. You could try contacting the AMC to ask about whether your school is accepted.
@@CareerDoctor Thank you! I'll do that!
It is possible to land a job just by passing AMC part 1? You can never with the US medical board lol they ask you to high pass this high pass that match this match that before you can do anything.
Yes
Is age a disadvantage while going through the standard pathway? I am 45 years old and a non clinical specialist from India
Employers in Australia are not meant to discriminate based on age. That being said in my experience candidates who have established and lengthy careers already tend to not do as well as those who are in the PGY2-5 range.
@@CareerDoctor thanks much
Your welcome
Hello Anthony, hope you are well and safe. To understand better, please bear with me. I want to know if I already in Australia as a dependent and want to take the AMC, am I still at a disadvantage or is it only when I am dependent on the employer for my visa
Hello Career Dr. , thank you so much for the informative videos !
I really need your help with my situation if it’s ok with you ...
Now I am an Australian Citizen and have lived in Australia up until a couple of years ago but due to personal circumstances I had to come live here in Iraq and finish my medical studies. I have graduated a while ago and will be starting my internship in Iraq in a month or two. But i do want to pursue my medical career in Australia. Now, if I do finish my Internship year here in Iraq and want to apply through the standard pathway what exactly are the steps that I have to go through, would I have to redo my internship in Australia? Does finishing my internship here in Iraq give me any advantage ?
Another question if I may, is that here in Iraq we aren’t given our certificates until both internship and residency are complete, though I might be able to obtain a document supporting that I have graduated from said medical college with ___ percentage without the individual subject grades though, from your knowledge would such document be sufficient ?
Thank you in advance 🌸
Hi Žåýñåb Ãłì thanks for the positive feedback. You will find most of your specific questions are answered in the videos on the channels and/or my blog advancemed.com.au. So I'd encourage you to review these.
In relation your intern and residency question, I suspect this will be similar to some other situations where the Medical Board here will prefer that you complete a couple of years. How long is the internship and how long is the residency in Iraq?
Career Doctor , I will do so thank you doc. Internship and residency in Iraq are a total of 3 yrs.
Ok you may just need to complete internship. But I’d suggest doing all 3
Are there overseas centers for AMC1?
Yes. The AMC holds exams in invigilated centres around the world. There's info on the AMC website.
Thank you Anthony, how do I find the intern and hmo directory for Qld please?

Hi! I’ve graduated medical school in Sweden and just started my internship which in Sweden is 18 months. Can I apply whitin the competent pathway if I get a license to practice medicine in the UK and then do a 1 year internship in the UK? For that I don’t need to do the PLAB because my medical degree is valid in the UK. Would that make me allegeable to apply for the competent pathway? Or do I need to also do the Uk PLAB exams?
You need the PLAB for competent authority

Yes
Hello sir thank you for your very usefull videos. I have a question i was surfing the health jobs for gps and i found the type of registration i did'nt know about and that was vocational registration. Could you please explain a little bit more about that?
Thanks delaram vocational registration is not what you think it is. It refers to whether you are qualified as a GP and can charge Medicare fees. It’s not a form of medical registration.
Hi,
Please guide how I can add my FCPS (College of Physicians and Surgeons) degree to my EPIC verification Portfolio.
Umm you upload it to EPIC and pay the fee. Not sure what problems you are having?
Thank you so much for this informative video. Im in a situation where I currently hold an Australian PR. However, Im an IMG and have never done any internship in my country after graduation from medical school. Just wondering if I could still possibly be eligible to apply for jobs under the provisional registration process after passing AMC. Or is applying for an internship in Australia my only option to get into medicine, despite how slim my chances are?
Thanks so much in advance
You will need to pass the AMC and apply for internship posts. The Medical Board expects you to have completed an internship somewhere.
It’s possible to do this in Australia. But highly improbable.
If you want more guidance I suggest you book a call with me.
Do you need to attain a certificate of good standing after finishing a year of internship outside Australia before applying via the standard pathway?
Yes. You will be rehired to produce COGSs for every jurisdiction you have worked in as part of registering.
Thank you for your valuable advice.
Could you please provide mewith youropinion regarding Monester job application if they have a role in getting me a job in Australia?

Thank you for your videos. I have done DNB ( General surgery ) in 2017 and i am planning to give oet next month. should i go for AON position or directly specialist pathway??
i am from India.
If you can find an AON post for surgery you should take it. But they are rare. I’d recommend a coaching session with me to review your circumstances.
happy to help hardik shah 🙏
hello. very helpfull information. there are no amc exam centers in my country. how do you suggest i take the exam
Hi Frank. Sorry this may seem an obvious answer but you would either need to come to Australia to sit it or perhaps there is an exam centre in a country near to you. Not sure if I’ve read your question right? Thanks Anthony
thank you.
Is it actually hard to get a job with the standard pathway ? Even if we pass both amc part 1 and 2 ?
Yes. It can be quite competitive. I don't think I have said anywhere that this is an easy route.
Will Mrcp UK will help anyway in getting Australian registration???
Unless its part of a Cetificate of Specialist Recognition it won't count for very much.
Thank you for such a informative video.I have a question i have done 7 years of medical course in which final year was a clinical rotational training before graduation,while i apply for registration will it be equivalent to internship?
Sounds like it will

Thanks for all the information. I got a bit lost and was wondering if you could clarify please. Im a new zealander studying medicine in Ireland. I will be graduating in a few years. What would be the process for me to specialize in Australia for surgery/internal medicine? I heard i wouldnt need to sit the amc exam if I do a year long internship here in ireland. Is that accurate? What would be the next step?
Hi you would do #competentauthority th-cam.com/video/cJmUwC3WvV4/w-d-xo.html
Hi! I grew up in Australia and finished my schooling there, as well as one and a half years of a university degree. However, I ended up moving overseas and finished my medical degree in Serbia. Do I still need to complete the IELTS exam or similar?
Probably. I always recommend checking the medical board info www.ahpra.gov.au/documents/default.aspx?record=WD15%2f16888&dbid=AP&chksum=Qt6fclXbe4YXYTcrrq%2fUjg%3d%3d
what is provisional registration , do we need English test and AMC exam
Yes if you are doing the standard pathway
Also, can the country that you graduated from affect your prospects of securing the position for general registration?
or the reputation of your university?
Yes. check out the videos on pathways and competent authority
hello...thanks for the informative video...one thing i wanna ask is that whether being australian PR provide advantage in finding supervised positions? what are the chances of speciality training positions if one has australian PR?
Hi Sudeep by law if someone in Australia is deemed eligible for a job and has citizenship or permanent residency then they have to get that job. So yes. PR is a definite advantage.
Thank you very much for the information. You said that the jobs are first for the Permanent resident and citizen, so could I apply for skilled visa for permanent residency during my validation process? to have more opportunities to get a job
Hi Angelo. That’s a good question. Australian Migration issues are quite complex and not well documented and explained online. Generally speaking you are more likely to be able to apply for PR once you are in employment. The IMGs who are fortunate to already have PR usually do so because of other reasons. For eg marriage and family connections.
Career Doctor Seriously, I am very grateful for your help and apologize for the inconvenience. but you can help me with another question, is that I am very interested in specializing, working and then living in Australia. How do you think is the best way to achieve it? I am currently in my 4th year of 6 years, you think it is better to graduate in my country and then apply to the whole process of revalidation, etc or think it is better to homologate my 4 years of study in my country to finish the medical degree in an Australian university and so graduate in Australia and make the process easier. is that possible? seriously apologize for all the inconvenience that I cause you but I want to assure me which is the best way to my goal. Thank you
Hi Angelo. Thanks again for another good question. I am not aware of many medical students who have transferred from a University from outside of Australia. It would in theory be possible. But more than likely you don't get a lot of credit for your current degree (maybe a year or two). Also the cost of Medical School is quite high here. I suspect either path you have outlined above poses challenges and will take you some time. Personally I'd recommend completing what you have commenced. Hope this helps.
Career Doctor thank you very much, you have really helped me
thank you for your informative video
I am currently arrived in Australia and got permanant visa, I graduated in March of 2021 (6yr university and 1 yr internship). I want to know is there any time limit for my diploma to give the AMC part 1? Or not because somebody says that you have to pass until 2023 otherwise your medical digree will be invalid. thank you.
There is no time limit to sit the AMC Part 1.
Is MRCOG or PLAB uk recognized in Australia???
MRCOG = no
Full PLAB = yes
Hello ....thanks for the information ....if I apply to the standard pathway ...can i apply later on to the specific pathway ...as Iam a specialist in internal medicine with 18 years of experience ....
Yes it’s possible. But I don’t know why you would do it that way.
@@CareerDoctor ...because im stuck in another city than my graduation and work ...and its not easy to ask others to prepare my papers ....and its easier to travel from here canada to australia
Another question Sir ....
Can I apply for PHO positions ...your advice is appreciated
As I normally suggest at this stage book a strategy call and we can go into your circumstances. It’s not possible to give specific advice on YT
Is it possible for imgs to get to or internship in Australia? I heard it's extremely difficult for imgs to get internship in Australia.
Can an img do any specialty in Australia without doing internship in Australia?
This question has been covered several times already. Check out my other videos.
Hi! I am a doctor from the Philippines, recently passed (just this October 2022). Currently, I have no working experience yet. Interested applying for the standard pathway. Am I eligible to apply for AMC 1? Thank you
Yes. You can sit for this now. But I recommend getting a years clinical experience before applying for jobs.
Hello very nice video
how is the payment for junior general practitioner per hour?
Hi Michael I've covered this question in other videos on the channel. Thanks for the feedback. :)
hello sir, I am IMG from India..worked as a GP for 5 years..I have passed AMC CAT MCQ examination, I have passed OET English exam with B grade, I have applied for the assessment of overseas work experience to RACGP..what are my chances ahead? thank you in advance
Hi Vohra it sounds like you would be eligible for a GP Area of Need post. You are on the right path requesting assessment via RACGP. You can also apply to ACRRM. It may be worth contacting the various rural health workforce agencies (for e.g. www.nswrdn.com.au) about possible positions. You will undoubtedly also have to sit a PESCI once offered a job. Here is a list of AON GP posts for the Sate of NSW www.health.nsw.gov.au/AON/Pages/gp-vacancies.aspx
Hi, thank you for this video! I am a recently graduated medical student from Argentina. I have done an internship in my home country. How do I know if my internship meets australian criteria? Is there any sources I could look for to see if I am eligible for RMO positions insted of intern position? Thank you very much!
There’s no real set criteria. Generally it will be acceptable if it’s the norm in your country.
Hello sir, thank you for the informative video, I would like to ask with my diploma and 1 year internship but no license by my home country, can I apply for the job via standard pathway. Thank you
Yes
Hi doc! What if my school is not recognized by the AMC?
Is it on the World Directory of Medical Schools?
Tried searching for it, but no... :(
@@Bryan-gm9hr alas you won't be able to apply to the AMC. Possibly your school is new and going through the process of registering with the WDOMS.
@@CareerDoctor so, no chance for me to work in australia? :(
Sorry not unless your medical school takes action
Thank you for the very informative video sir! I am a Medical Doctor from the Philippines, I just passed the local boards here last September 2019 and I am currently working in the rural areas here. I am interested to continue my career as a Rural Health Doctor there. Do I need more experience so I can apply there? Thank you!
I forgot to add that I'm already a permanent resident in Australia since 2016. I just came back here to finish medical school and gain my license here. :)
Hi Kristine you will probably need a few more years as a general practitioner there if your aim is to work here as one
Thank you for your nice informative video.
I'd like to ask you about orthopedics subspecialty.
I'm doing my final year of Orthopedics residency in Qatar, I have PR in Australia but I didn't come accross any IMG pathway for orthopedics is it the same like the standard pathway?
I'd really appreciate it if you can guide me in this aspect.
Regards,
Abdul Majid
Hello you apply via the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons which looks after the majority of surgical subspecialties in Australia.
Hello Anthony.
Thank you very much for your videos. I have just completed my post graduation from India in Dermatology(MD) and obtained MRCP SCE (Dermatology). I had cleared AMC part 1 four years ago. I am planning to apply for Short term training pathway. After I finish two years of training, could I apply through standard pathway and work as a specialist dermatologist in Australia?
Thank you in advance
No because the standard pathway is not for specialists.
Hi, is it easier to secure a PGY2+ position for IMGs rather than an internship? If it is so, are you eligible to apply for PGY2+ positions if you have completed 1+ years of internship in another country?
Yes. And Yes.
Hello sir...can you name important books and their link that will be helpful in preparing for my AMC exam...plz do reply sir...
You will find lots of lists of books online. The best place to start is the official list on the AMC website.
What year in medical school should recommend to start the application process?
Hello you won't be able to sit the AMC exams till after your graduate
Hi Dr Anthony,
Is it possible to go under Standard Pathway and 12 months supervised work without internship from the country I graduated or country of origin?
I recently graduted from Malaysia and planing to take AMC part 1. Both Malaysia and my country of origin is accepting internship for IMGs.
Hi your question is a bit unclear. But there are for e.g. plenty of students who obtain their medical degree in Australia and then complete an internship in another country. So I think the answer to what you are asking is yes.
Hello, does anybody know how many clinical examinations are scheduled per year? Thank you
+Jesús Medina there are normally one or two per month with a bit of a break over the Christmas / New Year period
+Jesús Medina plenty they are published on the AMC website and regularly updated www.amc.org.au/assessment/clinical-examination/clinical-examination-events-and-dates/
@@CareerDoctor thank you doctor!
Thank you so much for the video was really helpful in clearing some doubts, but please i have some questions: After passing the AMC mcq exam in my country, can i go straight to do the AMC clinical examination without necessarily doing a one year work placement accesment in australia, or is it necessary i must do the placement even after passing the clinical exam.
Also, is there any salary attached during this work placement acessment.
Finally after having obtained the AMC certificate what's the next step, am going for a specialty in gyno and obs. Thank you
The 12 months provisional registration is a requirement for everyone. If you obtain a job to do this then it will be paid. You need to obtain general registration to apply for specialty training. O&G college is difficult to get into.
Thank you so much Dr.
Thank you for this very helpful video doctor.. I have finished my residency in internal medicine in India in 2020 and an currently a senior resident. Would I be eligible for a registrar post? And what are the subsequent steps to get into basic and advanced physician training?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
Suggest you look into short term training and review my other videos.
Hi, sir I completed my mbbs.. And now I'm going to australia on dependent visa with my wife.. Can I give a amc 1 and 2 in australia? And after that can I get the registration?? And job?
You have the steps generally in the correct order
Thanks sir
After passing AMC exam Is it possible to become a surgeon in Australia as an emigrant doctor???
Can you explain about the pathway to become a surgeon in Australia.??
Thank you.
Hi yes its possible. But it's hard as I have outlined in the video. The pathway for you is as described. Complete the Standard Pathway and then apply for surgical training as per my other videos.
would the standard pathway apply for IMG who want to apply for a family medicine residency training in australia?
Yes
Hi, I just graduated in Italy and I'm looking to move to Australia. Do you think would be better to have my residency here in Italy (4 more years and I would be fully trained) and then apply for a specialist Pathway or to apply as soon as I can for standard Pathway?
Not knowing the specialist training system in Italy its hard to comment. But I generally recommend completing specialist training if you can. Sounds like you would benefit from one of my strategy calls.
Thanks for such a descriptive explanations.
I have some doubts, can you please clarify them..?
Suppose I come to Australia by standard pathway Clearing AMC cat test and clinical assessment, then I do 1 yr supervised training under provisional registration, so after this 1 yr can I go for general registration, and with general registration what are my chances of getting a job?
I am asking this doubt because one of my friends from my same medical school cleared amc cat and clinical, and in Perth she is working as Rmo level 1. So she told me that she has to complete rmo 1, then 2 and then 3...
After Rmo 3, she has to go to registrar post...
So hearing all her descriptions I became very doubtful about job opportunities in Australia and the steps after these AMC cat , clinical and provisional registration yr 1 which you have mentioned in your video.
So can you please explain me about steps after these exams, and whether Queensland or Victoria or western Australia which is a better place for doctor job opportunities
Hi Sherin I will eventually do a video or two explaining the local training system a bit more. But in short for some specialty training colleges and programs you need a minimum of one year working as a doctor in Australia (for e.g. Psychiatry). For the most you need a minimum of 2 years. For all you will need General Registration which you gain after completing your provisional registration year. For some you also need permanent residency or citizenship (RACS and GP training are included here).
Your friend is confusing you by talking about how you move up through the system as a trainee doctor in the hospitals.
It is true however that for certain specialties (surgery and anaesthetics for example) that there is stiff competition, so doctors are often waiting longer to get on the programs (PGY3 and more).
Once you have your general registration your chances of securing another position increase significantly. It just might not be a training job.
Hi doc, i have a question, i am an IMG and if i passed both AMC exams (clinical and written) for standard pathway , will i get a secured working position in Australia ?
+Quang Huy no it just improves your prospects
