Thank you for this Doc❤ 10:07 You are absolutely correct. My brother did his Masters in Australia, wrote the exams but was hard getting a job because he’s been out of practice. He wrote Plab 1&2, went back and worked for 1 year in Uk and it was way easier for him to get a job in Australia.
wow super excited to see you @Dr. Emmanuel Alfa: was just thinking of contacting you very recently and wondering why you haven't started a You tube channel as this since you had taken this leap a long time ago; how wrong was I; Lol. Nice to finally see a video of you helping so many of Thanks.
Thanks very much emmanuel this is avery good advice for premeds like me as an international student here in Australia trying to get into med school hee but its very expensive but am opting for European medicine schools.
I just discovered your channel and I really love it. I’m a doctor in Nigeria and I’m preparing for my PLAB and looking forward to moving to Australia via the competent authority pathway after 1 year in the UK. I wanted to know if it’s difficult because someone told me I should do a GP program before applying to improve my chances 😭😭
Good day! So for the specialist pathway,do you have to be a specialist from a particular country. .i.e Can a specialist in Nigeria apply directly from Nigeria without any other international experience
Thank Dr. Alfa, very informative video. Can you please throw more light on the specialist pathway?. Do they recognized West Africa College of surgeons and how easy is it to get into the specialist pathway as specialist with WACS certificate?. Thank you 😊
Hi Nyame, I suppose the first step would be to contact the College of Surgeons in Australia via their website. They would clarify if they recognize your fellowship with WACS. Secondly, with your fellowship with WASC, you would have an advantage if you followed either the Standard Pathway or Competent Authority Pathway. This is because there are non- training positions that would be willing to hire you for your skills. Subsequently, after gaining some experience with these non-training positions, you can enter with less stress into a training position. Hope that helps.
Hi Doc, thank you very much for your efforts helping overseas Dr. For the competent authority pathway, is Cuba part of the countries that Australia receives please?
Hey doc thanks for the video! For the standart pathway/competent after working in the UK, are any special requirments like research, certain number of clinical hours and so required to secure a spot in residency? or do you just apply, interview and that's it.
Hi doc Emma...just seeing your video and it's great. Pls does the issue of ecfmg changing to wfme for those taking USMLE from 2024, does it apply to those registering for AMC via ecfmg-epic

Thank you for the clear explanation Doc . I have a question if u could help it would be great . So I am an indian national studied medicine from europeon union and did not have to do plab to get into medicine in the uk. I have been working here for 2 years and so was wondering if i will still have to do amc part 1 and come via standard pathway or can i come in via competent pathway . If you could answer my question it will be great . Thanks
Ômatai, weldone. It's actually an informative video. Wólukóló! I will subscribe and keep watching your videos. Will get in touch when I am ready to start the process
Thank you, Ifechukwu. To be honest, I have experience with Australia and the U.K majorly. However, you would have to write the medical licencing exams for the other countries for starters. I suppose you can search the respective country's medical board websites for details.
Thank you for laying it bare. I have Plab with few months work experience in the UK. What does the process entail in getting into the practice in Australia?
Hello Omakoji, Abele? ( I hope you understand Igala, lol) Right, I congratulate you on going via the PLAB route, you have just saved yourself so much heart-ache. Now, after you have one year of work experience in the U.K, all you need to do is jump online and search for Senior House Officer (SHO) or Principal House Officer (PHO) jobs in Australia and send them your CV, that simple. Some people use agents but I suppose it is as easy as searching online and sending out your CV. Cheers

Thank u doctor for this information. I wish I saw this video b4 applying for my masters. My plan was to write AMC I btw my masters program. I am yet to pay my fees for my master. Should I go on or write AMC mcq straight up.
Hi Clarp, there's no residency matching. You apply directly to the particular college for training after you have secured a registrar position in a hospital. I shall do a video soon on that.
I want to say thank you very much and I really appreciate your effort. Doctor, you made very clear to me and gave me better understanding. I am graduating by next year from One of medical school in Africa. I want to know about free service after AMC Exam to practice while looking for job. Let me know your idea and if you have any information. Thanks again.
Hello Oluwaponmile, I suppose , like every other worthy venture, there are hoops to jump. Nonetheless, the first step is to contact the respective college or check out their website to understand their processes as well as documentations required. That would clear up things for you I hope. Cheers
Hi dr i am a dr from Congo living in south africa ,i passed my board exam here seeking for a job but i think of relocating in australia .is there any job i can apply for coming there and do my amc exam there.
Hi Islamiat, You sure can. With the Competent Authority Pathway, you only need one year of Australian work experience to obtain your general registration ,which you can use to apply for residency training.
Sir my patner completed his medical education in india and did plab and completed his speciality training in psychiatry in uk he is now a consultant psychiatrist in uk is it possible for him to move to Australia?
Hello Dr Alfa. I’m a medical student, I’m currently doing my final year internship. Can the final year internship be considered for the “work experience”?
Thanks for the video! Actually I'm a bit confused about which position to apply exactly for my position? I have completed 2 years internship then 2 years of resident medical officer in my home country. If I apply for a job in Australia (after AMC), can I apply as an RMO?
Hello siddhant, yes, you can do Internal Medicine Residency in Australia. The Internal Medicine Residency in Australia is for 6 years; divided into 3 years of Basic Physician Training and 3 years of Advanced Training.
After you arrive in Australia, first step is to get General Registration. If you come via the Competent Authority Pathway, you only need one year of Australian work experience to get the General Registration. For the Standard pathway, you would need to do the AMC Clinical exams. Once you have your General Registration, you can apply for Residency training.
Hi Ali, The jobs aren't the challenge, actually there are many jobs. The real challenge is determined by the pathway you use to come in. With the Standard Pathway, it is getting more difficult getting jobs due to so many hurdles. However, with the Competent Authority Pathway, you will have several options. Hope that helps. Kind Regards Emmanuel
Pretty straightforward. Once you get your General Registration you can apply to any training programme of your choice. The only caveat is that some specialties are more competitive than others and hence, have more stringent entry requirements.
Hi Mohamad, sorry I do not have much information about practicing in Ireland. However, if your question is regarding migrating to Australia from Irrland, then sure, you can use the Competent Authority Pathway discussed in the video. Cheers

After passing the AMC MCQ, you can apply for a job as an unaccredicted registrar. However, you may be eligible for the specialist pathway given your training and years of experience. Kindly check with the Anaesthesia college.
Hi Senesh, being an Australian citizen is of immense benefit and would relieve you of a lot of stress that other IMGs face.

Hi Oteng, Thank you for your questions. With your 2 years experience in the U.K, you can come into Australia via the Competent Authority Pathway which gives you Provisional Registration in Australia. After one year of working then you get the General Registration which is the full registration . You need the General Registration before you can apply to any specialty training. If you already have some years of specialty training, you can apply for Recognition of Prior Learning after you get into the Specialty Training in which you had prior experience.

My friend was a recruitment executive for employing Doctors from overseas. Because Australian Universities would not increase medical student numbers , the State Governments had to seek Doctors from overseas. She was seeking Doctors from third world countries ( eg India, Romania ,Bulgaria, Sth America ) who had only poor high school achievements and inferior Medical Degrees . She could not sleep at night with worry . She does not understand why the Federal Government did not order the Chancelors of Universities to reduce matriculation standards to increase Medical School student numbers. One of the Doctors she interviewed and the QLD Government employed was Dr Patel. He became The Indian Butcher and many died under his negligence.u

Hi Feisal, the Competent Authority Pathway , the last time I checked, only recognises PLAB 1 and 2 plus one year of U.K experience as a prerequisite to come and work in Australia without having to take the Australian exams.

Fresh graduate from medical University in ukraine can immigrate to Australia ?
You would need to complete your internship and gain some experience prior to coming to Aussie, to improve your chances.
@@dremmanuelalfa7373 thanks. But is there a chance i go there after graduation? If i wanna work a job that is not medical field at first then i do my licensing amx exam???
Hey Dr. Alfa! Thank you for such an informative video. Can you please tell me if we need to take the Academic IELTS or General IELTS exam?
Yeah, you would need the academic IELTS.
Hi Dr! I’m currently gonna be getting into my final year this September from an EU country this September (do I qualify for the standard pathway ? ) and my friend is also a recent medical graduate from Ukraine please can you clarify that she qualifies to write without a clinical internship ? Thank you.
Hi Valentina, both you and your friend would have to complete your internship before you can use the Standard pathway .

My friend was a recruitment executive for employing Doctors from overseas. Because Australian Universities would not increase medical student numbers , the State Governments had to seek Doctors from overseas.
She was seeking Doctors from third world countries ( eg India, Romania ,Bulgaria, Sth America ) who had only poor high school achievements and inferior Medical Degrees . She could not sleep at night with worry . She does not understand why the Federal Government did not order the Chancelors of Universities to reduce matriculation standards to increase Medical School student numbers.
One of the Doctors she interviewed and the QLD Government employed was Dr Patel. He became The Indian Butcher and many died under his negligence.u
Hi Sondra, I was wondering what your question was in regard to the video.
