Kailangan pa po ba mag Phil. Licensure exam before taking AMC1? Or can i take the AMC even without going through PGI and then passing the local boards? Thank you!

jermiony

@maldita doc, is PGI training & Phil. Med licensure exam needed for amc1 or pwedeng diretso AMC na right after graduating from medicine? Ano po advice niyo?

Hi just came across this thread. Hope my input works. I'm currently working as a medical officer at a QLD hospital. Recently lang din ako nakapasa ng AMC 1 and 2 and sa awa ng Diyos, nakakuha agad ng work. Sa mga pupunta dito, don't lose hope. Para makahanap work, nowadays, gusto nila pasado na sa both but I know a few people na AMC1 lang e nakahanap ng work at nagkalimited registration agad. Important dito ang recency of practice kaya advisable na nagwowork na sa Pinas bago pa mag apply ng work dito.

@pinoyrmtmd Hello po. I would just like to ask how you went about applying for work after passing AMC 1 and 2? Saan po kayo naghanap ng work at paano nag-apply?

pinoyrmtmd

@bellatrix You can apply online sa Queensland Health website or you can directly email the hospitals. Try regional ones kasi sila ang may shortage of doctors. Helpful naman sila, they will guide you through the process once they know you're keen.

hi pinoyrmtmd: I"m currently residing in south australia and wanting to help my brother to come and practice here in oz like you guys. I'am currently practicing as a clinical pharmacist in one of the gov't hospital here. At the moment we are just researching on the steps to do initially to apply standard pathway. My brother is an IM specialist still in the Philippines. I would like to ask if he needs to take PTE/OET first before applying for assessment and MCQ exams? Thank you heaps in advance .

@Nadine Hi! I would like to ask if I can take OET instead of IELTS for the english proficiency requirement? Thanks for the very informative and helpful posts.

Hello! sorry ngayon lang ako ulit nakapaglog in sa forum. just to give a bit of background about myself, I was working as a resident in a hospital in South Australia last year and then I moved back to Sydney to work in another hospital this year.

@nathan0816 Hi, internship (PGY1 = postgraduate year 1) here are for local graduates and interns need to have AHPRA registration. for us IMGs, they expect us to already have completed our internship overseas because the hospitals offer at least a PGY2 position to IMGs and AHPRA needs to have evidence of completion of internship when you apply for registration. hope this helps.

@mjoymd888 hi, I would suggest that you take the amc part 1 muna sa pinas, you don't have to come to Oz for part 1 and you would only need a visitor/business visa if you will be taking the part 2 exam kasi sa Melbourne lang sya available. once you get a job offer, the hospital can sponsor your visa.

@micsibulo hi, I don't think they recognise USMLE

_maldita_

@Jared_bianca hi, you can take the amc part 1 exam in SG and then you can just apply for a visitor/business visa for part 2

<blockquote class="Quote" rel="freshMD">hello po @maldita and @Nadine

tanong ko lang po..

from the day na nagstart po kau mag review for AMC exams until the time na nakakuha na po kau ng full registration.. mga how long did it take u po? like years po ba?
after passing amc part 1 po.. as i have read from your previous posts, maghahanap po ng employer to sponsor the visa.. what kind of employment po ito? GP po ba? enough po ba yung salary to be able to save for the fees for the next steps sa process ng pagkuha ng registration
lastly po, do they accept filipinos for residency training there in australia? do i need to attain full registration first before i can apply for residency? what are my chances po in getting accepted in a residency program po sa aus? </blockquote>

Hello

yung timeline varies for every person, meron na nakakatapos ng both part 1 and 2 in the same year, iba part 1 muna then will clear amc part 2 the following year which is my case then I got a job offer 6 months after clearing part 2. clinics that employ GPs and hospitals that employ resident medical officers can sponsor a working visa. salary is enough to pay for the fees. they accept Filipinos/IMGs for training (they call it registrar here, medical officers not in training are called residents) but one of the requirements is a full registration. hope this helps

hello, you can apply online and then they do phone or skype interviews from pinas

@jermiony

hi, you don't need a Philippine physician license to apply for amc and AHPRA registration but you need to have completed your internship to apply for AHPRA registration

hi, I cleared my part 2 a year after clearing part 1. it can take around 2-3 years, reviewing for both exams then applying for jobs and then doing 1 year of rotation on a limited/provisional registration before getting a full registration. you need a minimum of 1 year internship experience sa pinas but if you want to increase your chances of getting a job, it is advisable to work a few more years. I would personally suggest that you apply as soon as possible even after 1 year of internship experience if you are after a hospital job.

@bellatrix

hi, I just applied online, just register at seek.com.au then search for medical officer jobs or general practitioner jobs or google:

queensland health
Tasmania health
NSW health
northern territory health
western Australia health
Victoria health

all the best! tyaga lang po sa pag apply

@acel hi, he doesn't have to take the English test before taking the amc exams. he can take it after part 2 exams when he applies for jobs or if he plans to apply for jobs after taking part 1 he can take it earlier
