About The AMC
What is the AMC
The AMC exam is the qualifying test conducted by the Australian Medical Council, and on clearing this exam, you can become a registered doctor in Australia. Consider this as the Australian Medical Council’s test for IMGS. The Australian Medical Council assesses the skills and expertise of doctors seeking registration in Australia through the AMC MCQ and AMC Clinical exams.
Pearson VUE administers both the AMC part 1 and part 2 exams. While you can take the AMC part 1 exam from your home country, you need to visit the AMC testing centre in Australia for the AMC clinical exam. Once you have completed the AMC exam in Australia, you may apply for a work or PR visa.
AMC Exam Eligibility Criteria
The AMC registration procedure begins with an eligibility check – the process that checks the candidates' eligibility to sit the Australian Medical Council exam. During this time, professional qualifications, registration history, etc., are assessed. Work experience is not mandatory, but can be beneficial.
The eligibility criteria for the AMC exams is mentioned below-
- Bachelor’s degree in Medicine (MBBS/MD/MS) from a recognised college/University.
- Degree from a University listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDoMS).
Procedure for AMC
To complete the procedure for taking the AMC exam Australia and becoming a registered doctor in Australia, a few steps need to be followed.
Pathway for Registration
The candidate should choose a pathway for registration with the Medical Board of Australia. The following are the pathways.
- Standard Pathway
- Competent Authority Pathway
- Specialist Pathway
- Short-Term Training in a Medical Specialty Pathway.
1. AMC Document Evaluation
The first step is to have your documents verified by the Australian Medical Council. This involves two steps-
- AMC Portfolio- Create your AMC portfolio on the official website of the Australian Medical Council and upload all your documents in the highest quality.
- EPIC Verification- In this step, your credentials are verified by the Electronic Portfolio or International Candidates.
2. AMC MCQ Exam
The AMC MCQ exam is a computer-administered test that assesses knowledge of the principles and practice of medicine in general practice, internal medicine, paediatrics, psychiatry, surgery, obstetrics, and gynaecology.
3. English Proficiency
At the time of visa processing, proficiency in the English language is essential. This can be done by taking English proficiency tests such as IELTS/PTE/OET.
Adequate scores in these exams can lead to a smoother visa application process.
4. AMC Clinical Exam/Workplace-based Assessment
The AMC clinical exam evaluates clinical skills in medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, and psychiatry and the candidate’s ability to communicate with patients, their families, and other health workers.
5. Job/Internship
After completing the AMC MCQ exam, you get provisional registration, and you can either pursue the AMC clinical exam or the workplace-based assessment, or even PESCI, if you are eligible. If you clear the AMC clinical exam, you become eligible for a job in Australia, which you can search for using online job portals.
6. Visa and Sponsorship
If you choose WBA as your pathway, you need to search for a WBA provider who’ll offer you an internship and a work visa with sponsorship. On the other hand, if you choose the AMC clinical exam, you must clear the exam and then search for a job with a visa and sponsorship, which will help you move to Australia on a work permit.
