Greetings from Papua New Guinea. At first I didn’t know where to start and how to approach the AMC MCQ exam. Since June 2023 when I started this sessions on AMC preparation the story is different now. The Two lecturers Namely, Dr Swapnil and Dr Udara are exceptionally committed and deliver well. The team is always available to answer to us anytime. They provide great support. I have not done the skill assessment yet, hoping to get that done this week and hopefully I will sit for the exam in November 2023.
The session was informative and worthy. I got to know more career options about the field which currently I'm pursuing. Working internationally, career options overseas, information about pharm. D and MD, etc are the things which is new for me and actually very informative. Interacting with the guest was really helpful and had influenced me positively.

About The OPRA Examination
What is the OPRA Exam?
There is a consistent demand for healthcare professionals, especially pharmacists, in Australia. That’s why Australia is inviting internationally trained pharmacists to work in their country. To get a job in Australia, a pharmacist must clear the OPRA Exam.
The Knowledge Assessment of Pharmaceutical Sciences (KAPS) exam was the qualifying exam for pharmacists in Australia. Beginning in March 2025, the OPRA exam will replace the KAPS exam. While this transition introduces a new exam format, the level of difficulty remains unchanged.
The OPRA exam evaluates whether candidates possess the essential knowledge and understanding of the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical sciences fundamental to practising pharmacy in Australia. It ensures that pharmacists trained overseas meet the Australian standards required to practise as registered pharmacists in the country.
