Thank you so much doc. Regarding the AMC, is it compulsory to write the part 2 once one passes the part one? Secondly, I wish to know if the part one makes one eligible to practice, and if yes, as what? A general practitioner? And then the part 2 qualifies one for residency training kinda? I appreciate if all these are responded to. TIA

@imgguideinaus Жыл бұрын

Hi Dr Harry, Your welcome. To answer your questions, no it’s kit compulsory to pass the part 2 exams but however they do help you secure a job over the other applicants. With part 1, you can either apply to hospitals with with WBA or RMO roles with level 1 supervision. You are eligible to practice as a RMO Ina hospital or as a GP through the PEP pathway but requires you to do the PESCI exam (similar to the AMC Clinical exam but more so and interview). You require Part 2 or get general registration through WBA to enter any form of training except the GP pathway . Hope this help Kind Regards, KP Balan

@imgguideinaus Жыл бұрын

Hi Dr Cong, Orthopaedics is one of the tough and competitive fields. You can definitely apply for it but you will need to work on your CV. Have a Masters and Phd. You will also have to satisfy the eligibility criteria of the college if that is what you like to aspire for. Surgery in general is very competitive and can be a long road. The alternate pathway would be the specialist by completing your fellowship in UK/ Canada. Hope this helps, KP Balan

Hey Dr. KP Balan : Would be grateful if you could please answer these questions: I am kind of confused whether AMC 1 score matters or its just pass/fail? How possible is it to have workplace based assessment after passing AMC 1? Can you work straight after AMC 1 or it’s an hoax? At what level would you be allowed to do locum? Can we possibly do it after AMC 1? How much time would you suggest preparing for AMC 1 and AMC 2? Sorry for the long list! TIA

@imgguideinaus 7 ай бұрын

Hi Dr, 1. Honestly speaking with the current job market the main importance is to pass the exams and not the score itself. A good score does help in terms of when you are competing with other candidates with just AMC 1 for the same position. 2. Regarding WBA, you have to secure it in a hospital that is accredited for WBA and usually work there for 6 m to 12m depending on the hospital, area and the position (i.e. RMO/Reg). 3. Then they approach you and ask if your keen for WBA after assessment of your performance. You can definitely work after AMC part 1 given that you are able to secure a job. 4. Depends on you personal and time commitment. Full time commitment with no other responsibilities, AMC MCQ - 5 months and Clinical 6 months. Again this is just based on my experiences and my opinion. Please do realise in the current circumstances there can be variable opinions. Hope this helps, KP Balan

After how many year of work ( job ) were you able to get in the desired Residency program, or for any other IMG after how many years of work they will be allowed to apply for the desired specialty residency program ? 4. Is it hard to get the job offer just with AMC 1 and English test ? Is it possible if I opt to do the AMC 2 after I get job? Which will help me get the best.

PGY2 as i had receny of practice of less than 2yrs as well. 3. I had tried out other specilaities before I settled on ED. It depends on what specility you want and the eligibilty criteria. e.g. Opthal/derm/surgery are tough and require couple of years to get in. ED at least 2 yrs. Some specilaities - depends on your PR status. 4. It is harder and hospitals prefer with AMC part 2 to offer a job but not impossible and candidates do secure jobs. Definitely completing part 2 will help you secure the job at the earliest. Hope this helps

its true but also you need safe doctors on the floor. We get a variety of doctors from various backgrounds. There are multiple aspects to it including communication skills and knowing the Australian medical guidelines. Even though the pass rate is 30% we have more applicants and the number of people passing have also increased. @@okoroifeanyichukwu8762

@@hetulsavalia3538hi Dr Savalia, If you want to get into training, you need general registration. You can attain that either by completing AMC exams or WBA after part 1. To get a job after part 1, depends on your experience and gap in practice. If you have recency of practice and experience, people have been getting jobs on limited registration. Kind Regards, kp

@imgguideinaus 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dr Cherian, Unfortunately I am not sure of the pathway to become a tutor. I think you would require to complete a masters degree here in the subject of your choice. The best way to get your answer would be to check the credentials of the tutors here on the websites and check with the college that interests you. Hope this is some help

Hi Doctor, The work experience will help you get a job however if you wish to specialise you have to do AMC clinical exam. There is no exemption for the exam. You can get a job after part 1 but it will be on limited registration. On limited registration you cannot enter specialisation apart from GP. The registration can only be renewed for 3yrs. To enter GP specialisation, there is another exams aswell. Hope this helps. - KP Balan

In my second to last video I talk about the salaries in couple of the states. Usually people migrate to NWS/ Melbourne/ or WA It would depend on where you get the job. Hope this helps
