I've been watching a couple of your videos and i do find them to be very helpful and informative.If you don't mind,could you explain a bit further on the standard pathway and on how to obtain a provisional registration.I passed my AMC CAT part 1 but was told to secure a job offer first before approaching APHRA.p.s i'm an IMG from Malaysia.Thanks again,cheers.
Hi nava nethan this is a very good question. Whether you have AMC Part 1 or Part 2 you do need to secure an appropriate job offer before being able to apply for provisional registration.
Yep i guessed as much.The problem is that most employers require me to at least have a limited registration to even be in the running for a job offer.Anyways thanks for your help and keep making great videos:)
Thank you for your videos. They are really helpful. Could you please help me with some doubts regarding AMC. I have cleared my MBBS and MD (Medicine) from India currently working in the UK through MTI and preparing for MRCP. I would like to ask you about which pathway to apply.
As I understand it the MTI is similar to the short term specialist training pathway here. And therefore not going to really advance your chances in Australia.
Thank you Doctor, quite a clarifying video. I will watch the standard pathway next. If I may ask: I am a med student looking for clinical electives in Australia, and hope to get it to the end of the year. Should I wait for this pandemia to pass, or already begin to apply for positions?
Thank you for ur great vdoz, im an IMG,i graduated in 2014 and then worked as MO for 1 year and moved to sydney on spouse PR in 2017,so i have a clinical gap of almost 3 years now, what shud i do?shud i go for AMC or PLAB ( and then register myself thru competent pathway) 👍all ur vdoz r really helpful.
Hi. First of all- I cant thank you enough for posting these videos because I've been so confused by different sources of information. I have a question though. Someone told me that im eligible to apply through competent pathway with GMC registration after I have 1 year experience in UK? Is that true? Or can I start applying for jobs the moment I have GMC registration. Would really appreciate your thoughts in this. Thanks
Thank you very much for your informative video! So I graduated from medical school in Switzerland and I'm planning to do my residency in Australia. Do you think completing the PLAB 1 and 2 and working in the UK for one year (going by the competent pathway essentially) would make it easier for me and take up less time to get registered as a doctor in Australia? Or do you think it would be more efficient to complete the AMC and apply by the standard pathway directly without having any work experience in either Switzerland or the UK? I heard that as an IMG it is quite difficult to find a job in Australia when going by the standard pathway so I would love your insight on this topic.
Whether to do PLAB or AMC is a hot topic. Generally I advise the direct route. But others have a differing opinion. With CA you will probably find obtaining a job easier.

Thank you very much. I have a "partially comparable" assessment by a specialty college. However, this wasn't enough for AHPRA registration. AHPRA wants also a job offer, While all jobs require AHPRA registration as well. Anyway out of this dilemma?
Hi Ahmed thanks for the question. AHPRA requires that you have a post regardless of which pathway you come through. The first registration is either limited or provisional and requires a supervision plan. There is no way around this.
hi doc. just founf ypur channel. thank you for all the help you provide. would one be paid during workplace based assessment or would he be the one to pay if they apply for limited registration?

Thanks Mohamed its always nice to get good feedback. I see you are taking in some of the information from my videos in terms of putting together your plan. To answer your question about intern certification yes generally the authorities will accept a valid intern certificate from a hospital in another country.

Hello Anthony, its a good question. Given that the RACGP recognises (and does not recognise) a handful of international qualification you would think that they would recognise something that they have directly been involved with. This document from the Malaysian version appears to support this - cc832419-3429-4ef3-a0bc-f5f088dc506d.filesusr.com/ugd/f588ec_f345539ee2e848a681dd1ba2d569831a.pdf You would probably have to speak with them directly.
Dear Dr, Thanks for your videos. I am wondering if once completed STT (as a overseas specialised) I can apply for the specialist pathway. I hope you can help me!
can you please give more details about the first option , which is australian option ? also is it necessary to first complete internship to give AMC 1?
Hi you would need to be more specific about your question. "please give more details" is not very helpful. The videos cover the only 4 options for working in Australia. You don't need to complete your internship to site the AMC Part 1 exam. You just need to have completed your medical degree.
Hello, thank you so much for this video it really simplified things substantially! i have a question :). If i graduate from a medical school that is recognized by australia what is the process for me to come to australia to do my residency and specialization for plastic surgery? thank you so much!
If you are an IMG graduated other than an English speaking country do not even try to register. THINK 20 TIMES. FIRST OF ALL PASSING RATE IN IELTS OR OET IS VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY HARD.

+Fortitude Cakes thanks we don’t call it residency training in Australia. We call it specialty training. Have you reviewed the requirements the AMC & standard pathway?
+Awal Mohammed internships are only if you graduate medical school in Australia or NZ. You can apply to the AMC at any time after you graduate and could sit the MCQ once approved by the AMC. It is generally best to complete any provisional work requirements in your own country first. So that you can establish that you have full registration there.
Hello, Thank you for these videos, they're so helpful! i was hoping you could clarify something for me. I am currently in the process of making my AMC portfolio but before I do so, I wanted to know if I register via the standard pathway now and give the AMC exam but do not clear it, is it then possible to retry (re register) via the competent authority pathway at a later date after writing the PLAB and working in the UK? is there any stipulation preventing someone trying to register via more than one pathway?

Beacause of a brtual war in our country Syria we could not complete our training programs to be specialists. We have passed OET exam. We also have a good experience and a good CV. We have been started preparing to AMC1 exam,but someone told us that Australian pathway is so difficult and you may not find a job or the chance is low to start again ortho or ENT even in DWS areas!! And the UK pathway is much easier... Can you help us to make a decision?

Hello many tertiary hospitals provide specific surgical oncology services. The video you have watched gives an overview of registration. There are many more about this on my channel.
Sir, I'm a third year medical student from India. I wish to move to Australia to do my post graduation and to settle there. And I came to knew that, directly entering Australian medical system is a bit difficult and its easy to get there through PLAB pathway. So I plan to do like these...get my medical degree and one year of internship from India...then clear PLAB and MRCP exams with 2 years of clinical experience in UK...then move to Australia.Whats your opinion about this? If I do so, then should I do internship of 1 year and pre vocational training residency post of 2 years in Australia before doing specialisation there?
Also can I enter Australia if I get experience from Ireland? If yes, which pathway, i.e, through UK or through Ireland is more easy to get into Australian medical system?
you know doctor , majority of IMG doctors interested in working abroad will take USMLE ... can we really apply for Austrialian medical residency with USMLE as IMG who are not Australian,NZ,Irish, from uk ?
Thanks Saif I will refer you to the video I did on Competent Authority Pathway and the supplementary. This only counts if you have also undertaken a residency in US. czcams.com/video/cJmUwC3WvV4/video.html & czcams.com/video/ICp0m33Z7eY/video.html
Amazing videos, thanks for your help Can you please advise me what is the best pathway for a urologist senior registerar had master 6 years ago with good experience and trainig. Is it srandard or specialist pathway or medical fellowship or MD.. I hope i can become aconsultant some day
Hi Anthony.. What exactly do you mean by "the board has recognised certain international authorities as competent in their assessment of doctors for med registration" ? Like for example how easy does it become for me to get AMC registration/ certificate, if I were to apply through standard pathway plus if I have a GMC registration? Or.. do I become eligible for competent authority pathway if I have work experience in the UK?
The choice of the term "competent" is really unfortunate as it suggests every other country is "incompetent" and the Medical Board hasn't really provided any justification for this decision other than the fact that it is based on the historical approach when we had State and Territory Medical Boards.
thank you for the video. i am neurosurgery resident 3rd year in Turkey. I have plans to move Australia when finish. I have some questions: 1.how really specialist pathway is possible for non eu/uk IMG's? I havent met anyone applied like this/ 2. how many month does it take to finish all application process thank you
Hi Araz I can mainly speak from experience of my own specialty of Psychiatry that I know of many specialists who have come through the pathway from outside of the UK and North America. They have generally been deemed partially comparable via the College and been required to undertake some further assessment whilst here. For specialists I have seen the process take anywhere from 6-months to over two years.

I know its a bit late to comment here on this video post. It would be highly helpful if you can answer this. Many thanks Manoj
Hi you need to set up an account with the AMC as per the video and get your primary medical qualification checked. Once the AMC is satisfied with this step they permit you to register for and apply for the Part 1 exam. More info about applying here - www.amc.org.au/assessment/mcq-exam/mcq-apply. The AMC website is very helpful and has information about exam dates and centres as well.

Hi Dr, I am an international high school student planning to work in a surgical specialty in Australia. As the odds are really low, may I know which pathway to take? It is better to take my medical education in Australia or in my home country? Thank you.
It’s a good question. Australia is a fairly expensive country in general. The other issue is that most organisations who set and run the exams have a monopoly. So there’s no real pressure to make them affordable.
hello sir ,i am an obstetrician and gynecologist from Egypt , i passed MRCOG and i have a GMC registration in UK but did not work in UK , my training was in Egypt , which pathway most suitable for me?
Suppose i get through competent Authority Pathway. And i get registered by MBA. How long will it take for me to become a specialist? Thank you in anticipation.
Hi Muhammad it depends on your situation. In some cases you might be going into a resident level job, in other cases perhaps a specialty training role. Let's just say you get approved for a resident level job with not recognition of prior training. Then you obviously have the 12 months provisional registration first, at the end of which you can apply for general registration and be looking at entry into specialty training. Most specialty training programs are a minimum of 5 years. So that's a minimum total of 6 years if everything falls into place perfectly.
Thanku so much. Do they pay during those 12 months of provisional training and if yes how much? Secondly, oncei have general registration, i can apply for speciality training. Thats what you meant?
And how is the competition for speciality training? I mean you can easily get it or not? Plus do i have to take some tests before i get into speciality training?
Hi. Yes. When you work a provisional registration job you get paid. It’s the same as any other doctor doing the equivalent level job. Pay rates vary. But even trainee doctors in Australia are fairly well paid compared to other jobs.
Hi Mubeen if you complete all required components of the PLAB then you are eligible to be registered via #competentauthority you don't need to do the AMC czcams.com/video/cJmUwC3WvV4/video.html. The AMC is not responsible for registration in Australia, the Medical Board is.

Hello sir! I have graduated from Russian Medical university as a MD-Degree holders. If I take residency program (Specialist) in Cardiology in Russian Federation, after finishing my specialty in cardiology, should I pass the AMC-Step 1 and 2 exams? Or how?
I have a silly question. I am looking around and wondering is meant by IMG? Like i know that it stands for international medical graduates, but lets say I get into a medical program at Australia and study there as an international student. Would I still be considered an IMG?
I can see how that would be confusing and sometimes we Australians get confused as well. In this circumstance you would not be considered an IMG. You would be considered an international student.
Career Doctor so if let’s say I get my pr after med school in Australia then would I be still considered img in terms of internship placement? I understand that international students as more likely to go through the rural route with the 10 year moratorium. But aside from that, are other hurdles?
No you would be treated as an international student for intern applications. IMGs are generally not able to apply for internships and unlikely to get one.
hi, I am an Australian citizen and completed high school here. I received an offer to study medicine overseas (i am a dual citizen). I didn't receive an offer into medical school in Australia. do you think I should consider going? would it be impossible to get registered in Australia if I study overseas (not competent authority country)? do you think it would be wise? I really want to be a medical practitioner.
Hi Fahim its not impossible to get registered in Australia. Just hard, particularly if you don't go through a competent authority country. In .your favour will be your English language skills, familiarity with Australia and of course the fact that you have citizenship (important for jobs).
Hello I am a medical student in ukrian.. I want to practise in austrilia.. but I actually want to get into austrilia for clinical rotation before graduating... and also want to know If I am to take the exams before graduating or after graduating.. anticipating your reply
In about 1.5 yrs i will have basic specialist training in medicine completed ... i dont know how the system works in australia but here after graduation first you do 2 yrs of foundation (done them) then basic specialisation training (general medicine rotations) then higher specialisation training in just one speciality of your choice which leads you to completion of the specialised training
Ok so you would be eligible now for #competentauthority or you could wait till you have your CCT. You could also apply to do some specialist training here if your UK program would recognise it.

There are lots of bad stories about IMGs being badly treated. But also some very good stories. Not all places in Australia have racist cultures. And most Australians are not racist. I think you highlight one important thing that is overlooked by IMGs. Its generally not about the OET and the AMC exams. Its often about whether you are able to secure employment.

Thankyou for a very informative summary of the different pathways. I had a small query. I am a practicing Obstetrician and gynecologist (MS OBG-3yrs, Laparoscopy fellowship-1.5 yrs). I would like to know if I should be applying under the competent or the specialist pathway.
I would think Specialist Pathway. But the RANZCOG assessment is relatively difficult.

Ur welcome
I like ur channel:)
Is there a pathway for the IMG specialists who wanna do only a fellowship or what so called subspecialty !
I think you will find the video on short term specialist pathway useful
Thank you very much. I have a "partially comparable" assessment by a specialty college. However, this wasn't enough for AHPRA registration. AHPRA wants also a job offer, While all jobs require AHPRA registration as well. Anyway out of this dilemma?
Hi Ahmed thanks for the question. AHPRA requires that you have a post regardless of which pathway you come through. The first registration is either limited or provisional and requires a supervision plan. There is no way around this.
@@CareerDoctor thank you very much for your answer. I guess "supervision plan" eventually means a job.
hi doc. just founf ypur channel. thank you for all the help you provide. would one be paid during workplace based assessment or would he be the one to pay if they apply for limited registration?
Hi you get paid when you work in Australia
Hello! I am cairo university medical student and i'll graduate next year , i have plan to take internship in egypt , while doing the internship , i will take the AMC exam , MY QUESTION is , are internship certificate in any hospital in egypt accepted by australian authority ??? , thank a lot ure videos are very helpful to me
Thanks Mohamed its always nice to get good feedback. I see you are taking in some of the information from my videos in terms of putting together your plan. To answer your question about intern certification yes generally the authorities will accept a valid intern certificate from a hospital in another country.
Thank you so much. I have done all the USMLE exams including Step 3, did Internal Medicine residency for 2 years and 9 months, couldn`t able to finish residency(3 years) due to family circumstances. which pathway I should pick?
Competent Authority. If you contact me via my website advancemed.com.au I can put you in touch with a recruitment company.

Hi! I'm a graduating medical student from the Philippines. I've matched with an internship program in Manila and I'm planning to get licensed here. I've read that local Australian graduates have their internship year as their PGY1, then residency as PGY2. I'm wondering if I would have to repeat my internship year there or if I could apply as a licensed doctor and go straight into residency? Thanks!
If you are fully licensed in the Phillipines then you wont' need to do an internship here.
hello,
i am an IMG but i am an Australian citizen. What is the best pathway for me and what chances would me being a citizen will have in getting registered and practicing in Australia?

As per the video it sounds like the standard pathway.
Dear dr, thank you for your informative video.
I would like to ask, after WBA do we still need to do the 28weeks rotation in order to get general registration / can we apply for general registration directly after completing WBA ?
You still need 12 months. By the time you finish WBA it will be close to 12 months anyway.
Hello! great and useful video! What if we already passed the conjoint FRACGP exam conducted outside Australia such as in Hong Kong or Malaysia, what is the pathway in order to work as a GP in Australia? How to get register with medical board/ APHPRA? Thank you in advance.
Hello Anthony, its a good question. Given that the RACGP recognises (and does not recognise) a handful of international qualification you would think that they would recognise something that they have directly been involved with. This document from the Malaysian version appears to support this - cc832419-3429-4ef3-a0bc-f5f088dc506d.filesusr.com/ugd/f588ec_f345539ee2e848a681dd1ba2d569831a.pdf You would probably have to speak with them directly.
Dear Dr, Thanks for your videos. I am wondering if once completed STT (as a overseas specialised) I can apply for the specialist pathway. I hope you can help me!
This is the basic requirement to apply for the specialist pathway. Yes.
can you please give more details about the first option , which is australian option ? also is it necessary to first complete internship to give AMC 1?
Hi you would need to be more specific about your question. "please give more details" is not very helpful.
The videos cover the only 4 options for working in Australia.
You don't need to complete your internship to site the AMC Part 1 exam. You just need to have completed your medical degree.

If i graduate from a medical school that is recognized by australia what is the process for me to come to australia to do my residency and specialization for plastic surgery? thank you so much!
It depends which country you graduate from.
If you are an IMG graduated other than an English speaking country do not even try to register. THINK 20 TIMES.
FIRST OF ALL PASSING RATE IN IELTS OR OET IS VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY HARD. YOU WILL SPEND AROUND BETWEEN 2 TO 4 K ON THESE TESTS.
AFTER PASSING IELTS OR OET , YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF BY AMC. PASSING AMC MCQ AND CLINICAL EXAM IS NOT THE MAIN ISSUE HERE. YOU PASS MCQ EASYLY ( 20-30 % PASS RATE) THEN CLINICAL EXAM PASSING RATE IS LESS THEN 10 %
AFTER PASSING CLINICAL EXAM, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO 12 MONTHS SUPERVISED PRACTICE. IN THIS 12 MONTHS YOU WILL BE DISCRIMINATED AND ENCOUNTER EVERY BAD THINK YOU CAN NOT EVEN IMAGINE FROM RACIST REGISTRARS AND FROM RACIST SYSTEM. ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF LIMITED REGISTERED DOCTORS ARE TAKEN FROM THE DOCTOR REGISTER AND THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REGISTER AGAIN.
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR CARIER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR YEARS AWAY FROM YOU. YOU WILL BE LEFT WITOUT MONEY AND HOPELESS.

can i do my internship in australia as mbbs graduate and after that i can write the part one ??
+Awal Mohammed internships are only if you graduate medical school in Australia or NZ. You can apply to the AMC at any time after you graduate and could sit the MCQ once approved by the AMC. It is generally best to complete any provisional work requirements in your own country first. So that you can establish that you have full registration there.
Hello, Thank you for these videos, they're so helpful! i was hoping you could clarify something for me. I am currently in the process of making my AMC portfolio but before I do so, I wanted to know if I register via the standard pathway now and give the AMC exam but do not clear it, is it then possible to retry (re register) via the competent authority pathway at a later date after writing the PLAB and working in the UK? is there any stipulation preventing someone trying to register via more than one pathway?
Yes. You can try both pathways.

Hi Anthony..
What exactly do you mean by "the board has recognised certain international authorities as competent in their assessment of doctors for med registration" ?
Like for example how easy does it become for me to get AMC registration/ certificate, if I were to apply through standard pathway plus if I have a GMC registration?
Or.. do I become eligible for competent authority pathway if I have work experience in the UK?
Hi Mithan If you have done the complete PLAB you are treated the same as a doctor who did medical school in the UK and has registration with the GMC.
The choice of the term "competent" is really unfortunate as it suggests every other country is "incompetent" and the Medical Board hasn't really provided any justification for this decision other than the fact that it is based on the historical approach when we had State and Territory Medical Boards.
thank you for the video. i am neurosurgery resident 3rd year in Turkey. I have plans to move Australia when finish. I have some questions:
1.how really specialist pathway is possible for non eu/uk IMG's? I havent met anyone applied like this/
2. how many month does it take to finish all application process
thank you
Hi Araz I can mainly speak from experience of my own specialty of Psychiatry that I know of many specialists who have come through the pathway from outside of the UK and North America. They have generally been deemed partially comparable via the College and been required to undertake some further assessment whilst here.
For specialists I have seen the process take anywhere from 6-months to over two years.
thank you very much :)

hi,, I am from Gaza. I need to register in AMC 1, my question is,, what is the correct way for registration and schedl the examination ASAP
Hi you need to set up an account with the AMC as per the video and get your primary medical qualification checked. Once the AMC is satisfied with this step they permit you to register for and apply for the Part 1 exam. More info about applying here - www.amc.org.au/assessment/mcq-exam/mcq-apply.

Hello if you are wanting to work in the Australian medical system. Doing your degree here is a bog advantage.
I'm not sure that why Australian medical exams fee are extremely high?
It’s a good question. Australia is a fairly expensive country in general. The other issue is that most organisations who set and run the exams have a monopoly. So there’s no real pressure to make them affordable.

Yes. It's possible. However, the longer the gap the less likely the employer will be willing to give you an opportunity.
Suppose i get through competent Authority Pathway. And i get registered by MBA. How long will it take for me to become a specialist? Thank you in anticipation.
Hi Muhammad it depends on your situation. In some cases you might be going into a resident level job, in other cases perhaps a specialty training role. Let's just say you get approved for a resident level job with not recognition of prior training. Then you obviously have the 12 months provisional registration first, at the end of which you can apply for general registration and be looking at entry into specialty training. Most specialty training programs are a minimum of 5 years. So that's a minimum total of 6 years if everything falls into place perfectly.
Thanku so much. Do they pay during those 12 months of provisional training and if yes how much? Secondly, oncei have general registration, i can apply for speciality training. Thats what you meant?
And how is the competition for speciality training? I mean you can easily get it or not? Plus do i have to take some tests before i get into speciality training?
Hi. Yes. When you work a provisional registration job you get paid. It’s the same as any other doctor doing the equivalent level job. Pay rates vary. But even trainee doctors in Australia are fairly well paid compared to other jobs.
Once you have general registration you can apply for specialty training here.
I have doubt if I do PLAB and get through it will I get registered in the AMC
Hi Mubeen if you complete all required components of the PLAB then you are eligible to be registered via #competentauthority you don't need to do the AMC czcams.com/video/cJmUwC3WvV4/video.html. The AMC is not responsible for registration in Australia, the Medical Board is.

I hope so u got my question 🙋♂️!
Hi if you watch the videos on standard pathway and specialist pathway you will learn that you don’t need the AMC exams for specialist pathway.
I have a silly question. I am looking around and wondering is meant by IMG? Like i know that it stands for international medical graduates, but lets say I get into a medical program at Australia and study there as an international student. Would I still be considered an IMG?
I can see how that would be confusing and sometimes we Australians get confused as well. In this circumstance you would not be considered an IMG. You would be considered an international student.
Career Doctor so if let’s say I get my pr after med school in Australia then would I be still considered img in terms of internship placement? I understand that international students as more likely to go through the rural route with the 10 year moratorium. But aside from that, are other hurdles?
No you would be treated as an international student for intern applications. IMGs are generally not able to apply for internships and unlikely to get one.

Hi the MRCP on it’s own is of little use unless you have a certificate of completion of specialist training or equivalent.
In about 1.5 yrs i will have basic specialist training in medicine completed ... i dont know how the system works in australia but here after graduation first you do 2 yrs of foundation (done them) then basic specialisation training (general medicine rotations) then higher specialisation training in just one speciality of your choice which leads you to completion of the specialised training
Ok so you would be eligible now for #competentauthority or you could wait till you have your CCT. You could also apply to do some specialist training here if your UK program would recognise it.

There are lots of bad stories about IMGs being badly treated. But also some very good stories. Not all places in Australia have racist cultures. And most Australians are not racist. I think you highlight one important thing that is overlooked by IMGs. Its generally not about the OET and the AMC exams. Its often about whether you are able to secure employment.
