Standard Pathway
Doctors who are not eligible for either the Competent Authority or Specialist pathways are assessed through the Standard Pathway. The Standard Pathway has two alternative processes leading to the Australian Medical Council (AMC) Certificate:
-
Standard Pathway (AMC Examinations): Assessment is by examination only – the AMC Multiple Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) and the AMC clinical examination; and
-
Standard Pathway (workplace-based assessment): Assessment is by examination and workplace-based assessment of clinical skills and knowledge by an
AMC-accredited authority.
A Pre-Employment Structured Clinical Interview (PESCI) is also required for all international medical graduates applying for general practice positions and for some international medical graduates in hospital positions.
Successful completion of the assessment requirements leads to the awarding of the AMC Certificate.
In 2014, there were 1,379 international medical graduates (Table 5.5) who passed the MCQ exam (55.6% of attempts), a slight increase from 52.9% in 2013.
There was a decline in the number of medical graduates who passed the clinical examinations, from 1,055 in 2013 to 697 in 2014. The pass rate from 2,243 attempts was 31.1% (compared to 40.5% the previous year).
