UK Membership Exams & Australia

MRCP, MRCEM, MRCS & MRCOG exams have been very popular postgraduate exams in the subcontinent. These exams also provide an entry level assessment exam for further specialist or advanced training in the UK

Important Questions:
1. Do UK Membership exams provide AMC exemptions?
2. Can UK Membership exam be useful to gain entry into specialist training in Australia?
3. Can UK Membership exam be helpful in getting a job in Australia?

These questions have become more relevant when Royal Australian College of general practitioners recently announced recognition of MRCGP international in March 2023 allowing experienced GPs to come work here in Australia independently

Plz recommend to AMC / AHPRA for exemption of AMC for doctors who have done MRCEM with one year of UK experience to consider for competent authority pathway. MRCEM exams cover all specialties and it’s comparable to AMC 1+2 or if not it’s more advanced than AMC. Your recommendation to AMC or AHPRA would be considered as you are consultant emergency physician working in Australia. Many thanks

Hi Dr Rizwan,

I need some advice regarding my pathway to Australia. I have GMC registration (via PLAB), worked in Emergency department in UK for 1.5 years and currently doing GP training (ST3 year in August 2023). I am planning to move to Australia once I finish my MRCGP by the end of next year.
Could you kindly guide me to the appropriate pathway for this?

Thanks in advance🙂

I want to know about MRCGP int, got partial recognition, i still dnt find much of the steps, how to follow.what is checklist of documents to privide for comparibility

[menakasandaruwan]

Doctor.. I have passed the AMC 1. Will MRCEM(Full or partial completion) be a added advantage of getting job in australia .

[abdullahzakariah]

MRCGP(South Asia Intenational) is in Partially comparable list whereas MRCGP(UK) is in Substantially comparable list of RCGP Australia.

Does it mean, MRCGP(UK) is better than MRCGP(International)?
Kindly share your insight on this...
