The modules cover:

• Module 1 – AMC Exam Essentials
• Module 2 – AMC CAT MCQ Exam Trial
• Module 3 – AMC Clinical Exam Trial

The Advanced Strategies for AMC Clinical Exam Preparation Course (IM202) develops advanced critical and analytical skills and methods needed for exceptional performance at the AMC Clinical Exam.  This is accomplished through the use of multiple clinical trial exams, each with worked solutions, clinical reasoning, exam strategies and references for further study.  To develop their clinical reasoning skills, candidates have access to an expert academic faculty that consists of Australian specialist medical practitioners with a minimum of 10 years experience in the Australian health sector.  IM202 is completed online through the IME’s advanced Canvas LMS portal. IM202 includes 10 full-length clinical trial exams (total of 160 cases).  This course allows candidates to develop and refine medical knowledge through case-based learning, to develop exam strategy, to realise and attenuate weaknesses and to develop a higher level of understanding of the concepts required to maximise performance at the AMC Clinical Exam.
