Important Notice to All AMC Examination Candidates
www.amc.org.au is the only official website for the Australian Medical Council.

The AMC is aware that a number of websites exist that provide unauthorised information about the AMC MCQ or clinical examinations. Some websites may offer copies of re-constructed AMC MCQ and clinical examination questions. The AMC does not endorse these websites or the information presented on these websites. There is evidence from our candidate enquiries that information on unofficial websites can be misleading and inaccurate.  

The data from AMC examinations confirms that memorising questions and answers provided on unofficial websites is a very risky strategy as AMC questions are under continual review. Responses to re-constructed examination questions, given on these websites, can contribute to incorrect responses on AMC examinations and may disadvantage candidates in their examination performance.  

Candidates should be aware that the only source of accurate and reliable information about the format, content and processes of the AMC examinations is the official AMC website at www.amc.org.au and in official AMC publications.

Kasturba Medical College Mangalore, Kasturba Medical College International Centre, Manipal
The AMC recently placed a notice on its website regarding information received from the International Credentials Service of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) that the Medical Council of India and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India have revoked the recognition of Kasturba Medical College, Manipal and Mangalore campuses. The AMC was advised by the ECFMG that applications for primary source verification from graduates of the medical degree issued by Kasturba Medical College would only be accepted when granted in or before the year 2009.

The AMC has now received advice from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of India, and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medial Graduates, advising that the medical degree issued by Kasturba Medical College will now be recognised in India for a period up to the year 2014. On the basis of this advice, the AMC can confirm that it will accept applications under its assessment pathways from graduates of the Kasturba Medical College who have graduated prior to, or within this period.  
 
Public Health Qualifications (People’s Republic of China)

The AMC will not accept qualifications in Public Health medicine from the People’s Republic of China as these qualifications do not meet the requirements of completion of a primary degree in medicine and surgery awarded after an approved course of study leading to entitlement to practice clinical medicine. Unless evidence is provided of satisfactory completion of training in clinical medicine, holders of qualifications in Public Health medicine, such as Chinese Public Health degrees, are not considered as holding a valid degree in medicine and surgery for the purposes of eligibility to sit the AMC Examinations.

Go to eligibility for information on eligibility requirements.
