Steps Involved in AMC Exam
So what is the procedure to enrol for and give the AMC medical exam, and finally, get an Australian Visa? Mentioned below is the complete procedure in detail, which will help you get a hold of all the processes.
Document evaluation
The first step is allowing the Australian government and migrating authorities to check your eligibility to migrate to Australia as a doctor. Here, the authorities check your documents, confirm whether they are original and authentic or not and decide whether your application is genuine or fake.
There are several cases of fake applications, and thus, you must ensure that your application is foolproof with all genuine documents applied to it. The documents that you have to submit include-
- Degree- Your MBBS, MD, MS or any other degree in the medical or science field.
- Transcript- The official document your University/College issued, stating that you have cleared the course.
- Work Experience- Experience letters and Letters of Recommendation from the organisations that you have worked with.
- Valid Passport- A passport that is not expired or tainted, and is completely valid.
- Govt ID Proof- The ID proof which is solid proof in your home country (such as a Driving Licence, Adhaar Card, Pan Card etc in the case of India.)
- Passport-Sized Photo- 2 or 3 clear and professional passport-sized photographs.
- Medical Registration Certificate- The certificate that claims that you are eligible to practice as a doctor in your home country or any other country.
In case one or more documents are not clear or incorrect, the authorities will inform you about the discrepancy, and ask you to send more documents as per requirement. The government charges AUD 1,000 for the document verification process.
Ensure to show maximum levels of carefulness while sending the documents to ensure your document evaluation gets approved in the first go.
AMC -1 Exam
English Assessment
One important step in the process is proving your English proficiency, which often people take lightly. The Australian government accepts several exam results such as IELTS, PTE, OET, etc. You can prepare for these exams, get results and attach reports to prove your expertise in English for an Australian visa. The minimum requirement is a 7 band in IELTS or a score of 65 or above in PTE.
AMC-2 Exam
The second part of the AMC exam is the Clinical exam, which assesses the individual's expertise in multidisciplinary studies. It is a written test, which you can take only after qualifying for the first exam.
Job Placement
The next step, and a very important one, is finding a good job. You can either do it from your home country or migrate to Australia and then start searching for a job. However, once you clear the exam, you get a guarantee of job placement.
