The best way to prepare for the general practice training selection interview.

Dr Vanessa Moran is the Director of Training for GP Synergy which is the regional training provider for general practice training in NSW and the ACT in Australia.

You can find out more information about GP Synergy at:

Vanessa is interviewed by occasional contributor Dr Rachel Seaniger.

In this video, Vanessa discusses the format of the general practice training doctor interview. These are normally conducted as an MMI (Multiple Mini Interview).

Selection into general practice training in Australia can occur via one of two colleages:
Australian College of Remote and Rural Medicine (ACRRM).
Royal Australia College of General Practitioners (RACGP).

Vanessa goes over:
the types of questions to expect
how to prepare things to say in the interview
how to avoid common pitfalls
and, most importantly how to go about answering the most fundamental question, which is "Why do I want to become a GP?"

Difficult Bosses specifically talks about a dirty little secret in Medicine. Doctors are often subpar managers. We struggle to support the needs of workers around us and deal with bad things like bullies in Medicine. This channel hopes to correct that by sharing stories about both good and bad bosses in Medicine as well as advice for both trainees and the bosses.

Hi Doctor, your videos are very informative and I'd like to say thank you very much. I am an IMG doctor, graduated from NUIG, Ireland and finished my internship in Malaysia and currently serving as a Medical Officer in Malaysia. I am planning to relocate and practice in Australia via the Standard Pathway, I am informed that I need to get AMC Certificate for me to get the provisional license from MBA and was wondering if the AMC certificate has a validity date/expiry date meaning, if I were to pass for AMC certificate and planning to apply for a job in Australia like 2-3 years down the line, is it possible to use the same AMC Cert?

Dr. Anthony. How can a doctor completing his MD in Psychiatry in India increase his chances of getting comparable status via Specialist Pathway? You had said in previous videos that most Doctors from India fare poorly in the Specialist pathway and only small no. of them manage to get substantial comparable status.

Hi I’m in high school and want to become a cardiothoracic surgeon and I am confused of the process. Could you please tell me the entire process from graduating high school to becoming a cardio surgeon or could you send me to resources that would answer this question. Thank you:)

Can I find a job in Australia as doctor only by just completing an overseas internship ? Without having any further work experience?

Is it hard as an img to get interviews in the Northern territory? I'm not in Australia but I have relatives in Darwin so I planned to apply there (Royal Darwin Hospital) as an rmo after I pass the AMC 1.
