GP Education Australia

The GP Learning Australia Medical Council Bridging Program has been developed to meet the needs of doctors with overseas qualifications who are preparing to sit the Australian Medical Council's (AMC's) examination. 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 full or general medical registration in Australia;
• are preparing for the AMC examination;
• have experienced difficulties with past AMC examinations;
• are seeking guided learning to target performance gaps before sitting the AMC examination.

There are 3 courses in the GP Education Australia Bridging Program:

1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) Course (10 weeks, mostly online) for doctors who are beginning the process of the AMC examination.
2. Clinical Skills Course (8 weeks) 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.
3. Structured Clinical Assessment (1 day multi-station mock exam) for doctors who wish to assess their readiness to sit the AMC clinical exam.

GP Education Australia offers a comprehensive and integrated program for doctors with overseas qualifications who are preparing to sit the AMC exams. The inter-related courses that make up the program are developed and taught by experienced medical educators who have examiner experience. They not only help identify and target individual performance gaps but also demonstrate in detail how the examinations work and how they are assessed, and what standards must be met in order to pass the AMC exams.
