Five Website Links Every IMG Should Visit

Five Website Links Every IMG Should Visit

We’ve put together a list of the top five website links we recommend all IMGs visit when considering the Standard Pathway.

${reading_time(` As you may already know, the Standard Pathway is designed for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) as a means to attaining General Registration as a medical practitioner in Australia with the Medical Board of Australia. It involves completion of the below Australian Medical Council’s (AMC) exams OR, the completion of an AMC approved workplace-based assessment program. AMC Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) MCQ Examination AMC Clinical Examination IMGs undertaking the Standard pathway must also successfully complete 12 months of supervised practice in an approved position. Whilst the Standard Pathway is a great option for IMGs striving to work as a doctor in Australia, it can be somewhat confusing understanding how the full process works. To save you time and stress, we’ve put together a list of the top five website links we recommend all IMGs visit when considering the Standard Pathway.   Medical Board of Australia www.medicalboard.gov.au/registration/international-medical-graduates/standard-pathway.aspx This page on the Medical Board of Australia’s website is a great starting point for doctors who are just beginning their research into the Standard Pathway. It details a brief overview of who this option is suitable for, how to apply for the Standard Pathway, what primary source of verification IMGs require to take this pathway, and the different types of registration needed along the way. The MBA also touches on how to apply for General Registration once IMGs have completed this pathway, and even provide a downloadable document with guidance on the documentary evidence required to support an application for General Registration. From this page, you can also view information about the Competent Authority Pathway and Specialist Pathway, if you want to do a quick check to ensure you are not eligible for one of these alternative options. AMC MCQ Examination www.amc.org.au/assessment/mcq-exam Once you have a basic understanding of what examinations you need to complete and the full process, the next step is to research the AMC Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) MCQ Examination, also known as the AMC MCQ Exam. Here you can read all about the exam including how many questions candidates will be tested on, the number of questions covered per each patient group, and how long the exam runs for. There are also quick links available to helpful information such as the locations for each exam venue (available worldwide), upcoming exam dates and how to apply for the exam. You can even download a free copy of the AMC MCQ Examination Specifications Booklet   AMC Clinical Examination http://www.amc.org.au/assessment/clinical-exam Unlike the AMC MCQ Exam, the AMC Clinical Examination has a high failure rate. This means it is essential to not only choose the right exam preparation program to assist you, but also do your research into what is involved with this exam ahead of time. On this page you will be directed to information regarding the exam format, fees and the release of results.   AMC FAQS http://www.amc.org.au/assessment/faqs If you are puzzled by any of the information you read about the AMC or their exams, you can visit this FAQ page they created to answer the most common questions they receive from candidates. These range from questions relating to the AMC portal and login access, to the types of eligible medical qualifications, and even what questions the AMC can’t assist you with (with links to the appropriate third party websites that can). Chances are that you will find the answer you are looking for on this page, but in the case that you don’t, you can contact the AMC via phone or email.   IME - International Whether you are needing to complete both exams, or just a select one, IME can assist with all of your AMC exam preparation, and even securing your 12 month supervised practice position. Through this link, you can scroll through the range of individual preparation courses and programs, as well as view the comprehensive IMG Australia Training Program that prepares doctors for their Fellowship Examinations`)} Arror right
Decoding PESCI Supervision Levels

Decoding PESCI Supervision Levels

A Simple Guide to PESCI Supervision Levels for IMGs in Australia (2026) It is important as an International Medical Graduate (IMG) to understand the Medical Board of Australia’s set supervision...

${reading_time(`Why your choice is important: ● The level of supervision indicated on your Position Description will be used directly for your PESCI interview.● Your choice ensures you are clinically prepared and confident for your new role.● You may revise your documentation up to 4 weeks prior to your interview date giving you flexibility if you have chosen alevel you are not yet ready for or your practice has a change of circumstance.● If you receive an unsuccessful outcome at your chosen interview level, you will need to undergo a further interview. A breakdown of the 4 Supervision Levels Level 1 Supervision:During Level 1 supervision, your supervisor must be physically with you during all patient care. Every patient case must be discussed before the patient leaves the practice.Level 2 Supervision:During Level 2 supervision, supervisors must be physically present at least 80% of the time. IMGs must inform their supervisors on all on all daily patient management. Supervisors must also be reachable by phone or video when not onsite at the practice.Level 3 Supervision:During Level 3 supervision, IMGs are allowed to work independently and must take responsibility for each patient. Supervisors must however ensure a system is in place to monitor safe practice. Supervisors must always be reachable by video or phone call.Level 4 Supervision:During Level 4 supervision, IMG’s can take full responsibility for each individual patient. Supervisors must be available for consultation but are not required to be present in person. Regular periodic reviews are required to be conducted by the supervisors. Most IMG’s choose to sit their PESCI at level 1 supervision and progress through the supervision levels to become an independent medical practitioner in Australia. Following your PESCI Interview The Medical Board of Australia will determine your final supervision level. They take several factors into consideration, your PESCI outcome and the recommendations from your PESCI report, your qualifications and experience, the nature of your position from your Position Description and supervision and support available to you.
