Securing a job is easy???????

Very difficult question.. Lots of factors involved like-

• Basic requirement (AMC Exams+English test)
• Work experience
• Practice gap
• Communication
• Dedications to apply without loosing hope
• Right time (Vacancy), right person (HR), right approach
• Finally LUCK LUCK LUCK

TRUE FACTS:

Negative facts:

• AMC clinical pass rate is 10-15% currently,
• Lots of Australian graduates are finishing MBBS after 2012 & there is almost no intern positions for overseas doctors after 2013,
• Lots of overseas doctors are searching jobs
• Highest medical entrance exam cost throughout the world
• 100s already completed both parts of AMC, still searching jobs

Positive facts:

• Personally I know approx 35 Bangladeshi doctors who migrated to South Australia with us sometime between 2010-2012 & currently 33 are in Australian health system !!! (Working as hospital doctors or as General Practitioners with confidence)
• Life is beautiful when you can earn smart amount of money (100% Halaal income…ha ha), enjoy family life as you will know your starting & finishing time with minimum exceptions, when you will forget the term “CORRUPTION” & when patients eyes will respect you as a very important person of Australia for your service.

Is it too late for you???

Last month 47 years old doctor joined as an Intern..Is it too late to try ??? (My advice, don’t leave your current position)

Guidelines:

I am happy to help with information, Books to read etc etc..Only cant guarantee of your success…

Books for MCQ :

## Handbook for AMC MCQ- Very important book to get overall idea regarding AMC MCQ questions. I found this book bit complicated as all option answers are very close. took 2-3 months to read this book. Some seniors said “Dont enter in exam room without reading this minimum 4-5 times” So, read this by heart to pass AMC part 1.

 

# Main Text Book- John Murtagh 5th Edition Don’t read whole book. U can’t remember. Read important topics (answer topic from handbook & past papers)

Another Excellent Paediatric Guideline- RCH

# Surgery Text book- Scott. ,

# O&G Text Book- Lilly & Johns (plz search with different spelling)

# For AMC 2nd part Exam- Clinical handbook.

Finally, to pass exam- Past papers are THE MUST.

Lastly, encouraging international doctor friends to think working as a doctor in 1^st world country like Australia. Its not impossible but obvious dedication & hard work is the requirement.

Please do not ask for past papers or Re calls from me as I can’t help with those as I did my MCQ on 2012.please help yourself, join different Facebook groups, make personal contacts with those who recently did their exam.. Only I can say, those are as important as the text books to pass this easy but very tricky exam.

Best of luck. Good wishes to all.

Regards
