The RACGP AMC Bridging Program has been developed to meet the needs of doctors with overseas qualifications who are preparing to sit the Australian Medical Council's examinations. The Program is designed to rapidly improve candidates' professional knowledge in the areas necessary to pass the AMC examinations and for subsequent clinical practice.
The Bridging Program can assist doctors who trained overseas and who:
- are seeking professional recognition in Australia;
- are preparing for the AMC examinations;
- have experienced difficulties with past AMC examinations;
- are seeking guided learning to target performance gaps before sitting the AMC examinations.
The RACGP offers two AMC Bridging Courses:
- Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Bridging
Course is a 10 week course conducted online with 3
weekend workshops.
Each week for 10 weeks, the participants receive 40 MCQs ONLINE which are available for 2 weeks, 24 hours a day.
In addition, there are 3 weekend workshops. The first one is Saturday only as an orientation day. Before the second and third workshops, participants do a Trial exam online with 125 MCQs completed within a 3 hour time period.
All the questions have been upgraded and reviewed to ensure they reflect the style and breadth of topics undertaken in the AMC MCQ exam.
- Clinical Skills Bridging Course (each Friday for 8 weeks, or Tuesday in Perth, with the Trial Exam held on the following Saturday), for doctors who have passed the AMC MCQ examination and who are now preparing for the AMC Clinical exam, or who have experienced difficulties with this exam in the past.
Testimonials
“The AMC Bridging Course is one of a kind. It is one of the most
extensive review classes I ever attended. It has been supported and
backed up with current issues, trends and updates in the medical
profession. It covers a vast and wide area of academic discipline to
augment our basic knowledge and clinical decision making of different
cases in the field of Medicine, Psychiatry, Surgery, Pedaetrics,
Obstetric & Gynecology and Community Health Medicine.”
- Argel B. Arrieta, AMC Bridging Course participant
“I just wanted to say thanks to your entire team of educators at
RACGP. I just saw my results on the AMC website for the clinical exam
and I passed! I am so happy! Each one of them had made it a point to
teach us the technique required to pass the exam, which I found very
useful. Coming from a different country it was difficult to understand
what was expected from us and how we needed to deliver the information
to patients and the course helped me understand this.”
- Ashisha Kallukaran, AMC Bridging Course participant
"Many thanks to the MCQ Bridging Program that gave me the
edge and for allowing overseas trained doctors like me the opportunity
to do so."
