The personas
International medical graduates have different motivations for coming to Australia, different lived experiences and face different challenges. We have developed 14 personas to reflect the diversity of those experiences.
The Australian Medical Council is an organisation whose work impacts across the lands of Australia and New Zealand.
The Australian Medical Council acknowledges the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the original Australians and the Māori People as the tangata whenua (Indigenous) Peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We recognise them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.
We pay our respects to them and to their Elders, both past, present and emerging, and we recognise their enduring connection to the lands we live and work on, and honour their ongoing connection to those lands, its waters and sky.
Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this website may contain images, voices and names of people who have passed away.
We are seeking your feedback on the international medical graduate personas and journey maps developed as part of the International medical graduate experiences and performance project.
We want to make sure that they are representative of the lived experiences of international medical graduates and can be used to improve the journeys of international medical graduates seeking to practise medicine in Australia.
Consultation questions focus on exploring the strengths and suggested improvements. You can provide your feedback via an online survey that will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Please complete the survey by 5 July.
We will also be running a series of stakeholder engagement sessions to seek feedback from organisations and to explore possible areas of collaboration across the health sector. If you are interested in participating in a stakeholder engagement session please email policy_research@amc.org.au.
Hear from the Chair of the Project Advisory Group Dr Vijay Roach about why this project and your feedback matters.
International medical graduates have different motivations for coming to Australia, different lived experiences and face different challenges. We have developed 14 personas to reflect the diversity of those experiences.
We have created two journey maps; a current and future state. These provide a snapshot of the journey for international medical graduates and show the challenges, the emotions and the solutions for improving pathways.
Stakeholders have shared with us what they see as the value of this work. We are keen to hear from you about how you and your organisation would use these personas and journey maps to guide your work with international medical graduates.
