Curious lng ako. After taking the exam and in case pasado nga. Yung assessment validity ba mauupdate din? I mean another 3 years validity for medical scientist? Or same prin ng validity nung na assessed ka as med lab technician?
Sna po may sumagot. Sobrang curious ako for future planning.
Thank you!

Newbie here. Planning to go Australia din kung papalarin. Start pa lang ng journey, taking IELTS in December. Sana makakuha ng overall 7 (feeling lang).
Thank you sa lahat ng mga nag-post dito. Buti na lang me ganitong forum, napaka informative. Question lang po, gaano ba katagal yung initial assessment ng AIMS tapos yung invitation to sit in the exam gaano katagal din. Iniisip ko kasi mag take sa March yun naman eh kung aabot. Iniisip kolang kasi kung Sept pa siguradong tatamarin.
TIA! At sana lumabas na yung results nung nag-take last September. Good luck sa lahat1

Hi @moonbeam
I'm also new here sa forum na ito! Also a RMT sa Philippines, planning to apply for Subclass 189 by next year. I applied sa AIMS initial assessment this October lang. They said na the interim for the initial assessment is 6-8 weeks, then if positive assessment mo as Medical Lab Technician, they will have also sent you an application to take the professional exam, either on March or September. The deadline for the submission for this professional examination is for the March examination is every 20th of December and for the September exam is every 20th of June if I am not mistaken.
I suggest submit ka na requirements before October ends sa initial assessment, if ever makahabol ka sa December 20th application for the March 2015 exam.
Best of luck for the both of us!
Warm regards,
Reinier

I think for 2 consecutive years, every July nagiging high availability yung MLT sa SA. Then after less than a week low then special conditions. They have set a lesser quota now, than it was when first got in 2011. January sometimes they open it for low availability.

Student pa lang kasi ako dto kasi hindi pa ako makahanap ng work as Dr and kapag mayroon ng general registration as Dr dto saka lang pede mag apply ng PR. Kaya sana itong lab scientist na lng ang pathway ko. Pede sana ako sa SS ng SA last September as Lab Tech pero para hindi pla pede kasi may condition na pag entirely ang work experience ay from Australia (mine is Sydney), dapat atleast 3 months ay sa SA...
Any thoughts po sa mga med tech dto will be appreciated...

Hello Doc! Currently I am reviewing for the professional exam din sana by March 2015. I am currently reading the following:
1. A Concise Review of Clinical Laboratory Science by Joel Hubbard
2. Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods
3. Med Tech Books and Reviewers from the local MT Board Exam
4. Success in Clinical Lab Science by Ciulla (Q&A format)
I can see na you can do well naman siguro sa exam, based on the study guide from AIMS, short amswer questions kasi siya, mainly kasi disease correlation with laboratory results ang questions sa exam plus practical laboratory work ups like you also need to focus on troubleshooting on machines with regards sa quality control, quality assurance and lab math and management. I am basing this information sa sample questions found on their website.
Update mo kami dito Doc sa progress mo diyan.
Good luck for tte both of us!
Warm regards,
Reinier

Im feeling a bit hesitant to take the test pero parang wala ng choice...
Hay... Ang dami namang aaralin, meron bang 'medtech made easy' books , you know young basics lng muna or somehow introduction lng... Of the 4 books that u mentioned, which do you recommend for me to read first?
Ng-aaral pa din kasi ako ng Clinical Exam ko para din makaforward na sa medical career ko..
Ok update kita if I take the test...
Thanks so much..

Hi Doc! Of the 4 books I mentioned, I think it will be of much use sayo yung: A Concise Review of Clinical Laboratory Science by Joel Hubbard. Its an easy to read format, only the basics and the needed information are emphasized by the author. It covers all the subjects required by the study guide from AIMS I suppose.
Good luck Doc, I know you'll do well!

You are most welcome po Doc! If you can PM me your email, I'll send some review materials I have with me. Actually, I have a cousin na Med Tech na sa Sydney working siya sa Royal Northshore Hospital. She took AIMS too pero diyan na sa Sydney. If I can manage to have you guys meet, much helpful po siguro sa inyo.
Thank goodness Doc, my experience with laboratory work here is mainly in Microbiology. I have been working as such for 3 years now.. I hope we could meet, prayerfully by next year.
God bless Doc! Update mo lang ako, and message me your email..
