What is an AMC Candidate Account?
The AMC has a portal where aspiring candidates need to sign up. Consider this as your personal dashboard and a way through which the Australian Medical Council keeps a record of your documents and your AMC registration status. Once registered, you’ll be using this account throughout the journey of registering with the AMC and the AHPRA. You can use this dashboard to check verification statuses, schedule exams and download results and certificates.
However, before you begin creating your AMC candidate account, you need to have an EPIC account. Let us talk about that first.

EPIC Account- A Prerequisite for AMC Candidate Account
When you go to AMC’s page to create your candidate account, you are asked to fill in your EPIC ID, which you can have only if you have created an EPIC account. The EPIC, or the Electronic Portfolio of International Credentials, is managed by the ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates). Through this account, you can get your primary medical qualifications verified. This is an important step in the document verification process for the AMC exam.
