How to Get Registered in Australia - Specialist Pathway (overview)

[@karimeuemura]

Hello from Brazil! I am a gastroenterologist doctor here and applied to 6 year of Med school (2 last years of intern ship), 2 year of Intern Medicine training, 2 more years of gastroenterology plus 2 years of endoscopy training and have been working since 2010 as a specialist.

[@CareerDoctor]

Great. Sounds like you could apply to the RACP then

[@CareerDoctor]

Don’t forget to let me know your experiences so far with the specialist pathway.

[@renukasharmamadholia9707]

Peer review working is paid or unpaid ? Is it mandatory even if you get substantially comparable status. Is pavement immediate after that? Specialist basically if all documents cleared have to appear for the interview ? radiation oncology specialist with 18-19 yrs of experience from premier institutes in india?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi I’m a little bit unclear on your questions. You have to do a minimum amount of peer review whether substantial or partially comparable. It’s up to you to find a job that allows you to do this. And that job will be paid.

[@ralphvictoryap1208]

I am a general surgeon in the Philippines. Video is interesting.

thanks a lot

[@rinkyranisaha2382]

Hi, thank you so much for your informations about specialist pathway. I am a MBBS (5Yrs) doctor and completed 3 yrs MD in Biochemistry from Bangladesh. Now Working as an assistant professor for last 4 yrs. Am I eligible for specialist pathway in Australia?

Hi Anthony I am an ophthalmologist from India with 8 years of experience as a consultant (Non surgical) I completed my MS in 2011.Looking for suitable pathway.I have heard from some consultants that AoN pathway would be suitable for me.please share your views

[@CareerDoctor]

Ophthalmology is very competitive in Australia. Its not the easiest specialist pathway to apply for. AON is very much a unicorn these days. Unless you stumble across an AON post I would not bother with it.

[@tamarindinfotainment8939]

@@CareerDoctor Ok so you mean not much chances for IMG people in ophthalmology?what about a normal specialist pathway other than AoN

[@CareerDoctor]

I mean that ophthalmology is difficult in general for SIMGs.

[@tamarindinfotainment8939]

Understand,still let me try my luck..I m OK for shorterm training and supervised practices too.. I am in the process of collating the details for EPIC verification and specialist evaluation..Your videos on CV format and other tips indeed very useful.Much appreciated 👍

I am an MD pathologist from India with 3 yrs of combined anatomy pathology and clinical pathology rotations. After that I have 10 years experience which includes 2 and half yrs experience as an Assistant professor in pathology in medical college. I have cleared USMLE steps 1,2 and 3 with good scores 15 years back. What are my chances for specialist comparability in Australia?

[@CareerDoctor]

So the USMLE stuff has nothing to do with the specialist pathway. But overall I would say you have a reasonable chance.

[@lucianacoronado928]

Hi I'm a gynecologist from Perú I had already my GP tittle verify by the AMC, so now I think that I need to submit my application to the RANZCOG.

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi if you have GP qualifications verified by the AMC this won't translate into an O&G specialist qualification with RANZCOG.

very useful video sir. I will complete my md in Forensic medicine next year. can I apply for the specialist pathway and practice as a forensic pathologist in Australia. or do I need to have a certain work experience post my md degree period?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi Chandan. Generally its best to work as a Specialist in your own country first for 2 or 3 years. You would be applying to the Royal College of Pathologists of Australia. There are not that many Forensic Pathology positions in Australia. So it would be pretty competitive. generally its best to work as a Specialist in your own country first for 2 or 3 years.

[@chiraagshetty7164]

Which route is easier to become a surgeon? Enter Australia after F2 year Or Enter Australia after becoming a surgery consultant in the NHS

I’d say both are similarly difficult as you need to gain entry into training in either the UK or Australia.

My main tip would be to review the RACS curriculum for urology and ensure that you can mirror this as part of your own training.

But I studied medicine in a Caribbean medical university and I did not do an internship hence I don’t have an internship certificate.

[@Techbuzzmanipur]

Is it easier to get in as specialist as general surgeon or plastic surgeon? Which specialty has more number of job positions?

[@CareerDoctor]

Very hard to say both are quite competitive.

[@rajanparmar5739]

Hello sir, This is Dr Rajan MBBS MD PSM (COMMUNITY MEDICINE) I HAVE 1 YEAR EXPERIENCE AFTER POST GRADUATION IN MEDICAL COLLEGE SHOULD I APPLY? PLEASE GUIDE

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi what are you intending to apply for?

[@irissoria1902]

Hi Anthony! Your videos are very informative and helpful. May I ask if I am eligible to apply for specialist pathway? I have 4 years formal training as a general OBGYN, then 1 year private practive as OBGYN, then ongoing 2.1 years formal training as subspecialty trainee in Maternal Fetal Medicine. In total, general + subspecialty training is 6.1 years excluding my private practice. Thank you very much.

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi Iris, It's really hard for me to give an accurate appraisal of someone's chances in a comment. It looks like you might be eligible. But RANZCOG are now quite tough in their assessments. I'd recommend you book a call with me if you want detailed advice.

[@gonzaloagustincardozo5393]

Hello Anthony, Thank you very much for your video. I ask you, is it possible to apply to the Pathway specialist, taking into account that I completed 4 years of residency as a specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics, plus one year that I developed as chief resident with hospital certification, plus one year of volunteer service as a registered gynecologist-obstetrician in Lesotho Africa. I am an Argentine citizen and Medicine and I did my specialty in Argentina. My medical school is on the World International Medical School list and I already have the IELTS exam with 7.5 How do you see my chances? Thank you

[@CareerDoctor]

I'd really need to chat with you to give you a full appraisal. I'd recommend you book one of my calls. RANZCOG are very particular about 5 years of format training.

[@CareerDoctor]

[@ARVA12]

Hello, im an ENT specialist from Russia. 6 years of general medicine + 2 years of ENT specialization. Can i apply through this pathway? Is 2 years of speciality recognized in Australia? All of the specialities in Russia have a duration of 2 years except vascular surgery (3years)

[@CareerDoctor]

Sadly 2 years of surgical training is not going to get you far with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons

[@kenrade]

Hello Dr. Anthony. I am Dr. Kenan Öztürker from Turkey. I graduated from medical school in 2012 and i started my cardiovascular surgery residency in 2014. I finished my residency in November of 2021 and i have been working as a cardiovascular surgery consultant since. I want to ask you about my chance in specialist pathway since there is no cardiovascular surgery in Australia. In Turkey cardiovascular surgery is a major branch and thoracic surgery is a seperate branch. In my knowledge cardiothorasic surgery is a major branch in Australia and vascular surgery is a seperate branch. May I try my chance in vascular and cardiothorasic surgery and can i get accepted as partially compatible? I wanted to ask your opinion about this matter.

[@CareerDoctor]

Chances wise you are better off applying for vascular. You could also apply for both.

[@user-mu1pn7nt7o]

Hey Anthony, thx for your great videos! I am a specialist for surgery from Germany and I will be able to do a fellowship for 6 months (maybe 12 months). I am a bit unsure whether I should apply for the short term or the specialist recognition. For now I see it as an opportunity to gather experiences in another country, so I can't say for sure that I will stay in AUS, but you never know. I heard that with the short term I can't used the time of the fellowship towards a specialist recognition later. So in case I want to keep all options, is it advisable to go for the specialist pathway? In contrast I need the registration until Jan/Feb 24, so it better works at the first try. Any recommendations?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi if you have been offered a fellowship here the only option for you initially is the Short Term Training Pathway. You can actually count this experience now towards specialist pathway.

[@user-mu1pn7nt7o]

Perfect thank you so much for your help !

[@neerajasaradthi]

Hi sir. Your video is very informative. What are the options for a Radiation Oncologist from India in Australia?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hello Neeraja I'm working on producing a video at the moment covering the specialty colleges. You can get a sneak preview of the related blog post here - advancemed.com.au/blog/specialist-medical-colleges/

Thank you 😊

[@shaliscorner6726]

Hi i graduated in romania 6 years MD course, specilaist training in germany, 3 years internal medicine and another 3 years in gasteroenterology training Am i eligible for specilaist training ?

[@CareerDoctor]

Do you mean am I eligible to be assessed for the specialist pathway? If so yes you would.

[@jessicaemilcompuesto]

Hello, I'm from the Philippines. So the gist here is to finish practice in our home country up to 2-3 years then apply the specialist pathway? Is this similar to all fields? If i want to be a surgeon in Australia, is this the better way or the standard pathway?

[@CareerDoctor]

+Jessica Compuesto are you specialty trained as a surgeon?

[@jestinace7565]

Hello sir,thanks for the informative video.I have completed my MBBS ,MDand DNB in respiratory medicine with 1 year post MD experience.what are the chances to getting through specialist pathway in Australia?.Can u guide me through the process...

I'd recommend some more consultant experience.

[@khaledatea770]

WThank you for this informative video. I am an overseas doctor and I have the qualification and experience to apply for a job in Australia. In addition, I have the required language certificate. From where do you advice me to start.? From getting the AMC registration¿? or from getting a job and a nomination of one of the states? or by getting the visa first?

[@CareerDoctor]

Thanks Khalil are you a specialist or still in training?

[@parvathyr266]

Hi ,this is Dr Parvathy . I’m a gyneclogist in India (3years course), medical school was total 6 years including 1 year internship and also got fellowship in maternal and feral medicine (2year course) . Am I eligible to apply through specialist pathway in Australia?

[@CareerDoctor]

3 years of training is generally insufficient to be found comparable by RANZCOG

[@greeshmareddy8241]

Hi Anthony , thank you for all informative videos I have completed MBBS and internship from India. i am currently doing my M.S (masters) Ophthalmology in India.

[@bhargavsaid]

Hello, can I do my medical specialist training in Australia after full GMC registration via PLAB?

[@CareerDoctor]

Yes. You would do this via the Competent Authority path - see the related video

[@Samuel-di3uo]

Hello Anthony, thanks for this amazing video. I am an anesthesiologist here in Brazil. I've been praticing on the field since I finished my training in 2018. I'm considering giving the specialist pathway a shot, but I'm a bit insecure, cos' the length of our training here is 3 years. I am also a general surgeon. Actually before I became an anesthesiologist I've made the whole general surgery training (2years training) and even worked on the field for a quick stint. If I were to reach out to ANZCA and take the assessment for Anesthesiology, do you think having two specialist degrees could somehow help me in my assessment?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi Samuel. I don't think the 2 specialist qualifications is going to be helpful as they are not directly related (yes I know you need Surgeons to be an Anaesthetist and vice versa).

[@matteoansaldi1068]

HI Samuel, i'm an anaesthesiologist from Argentina and I want to know if you were able to rich the interview. I have already start the SIMG preliminary review. if you are interest we can help each other to pass thought the ANZCA interview.

Hi Anthony, I want to know if doctors from competent authority pathway need IELTS to apply through the recruitment campaign that takes place mid-year?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hello generally if you are from a competent authority country you have already met the English requirements. But you should always check.

[@ertanararat2046]

Is it correct that I do not have to give AMC medical board exam to apply and to work in "area of need" vacancy positions as an emergency medical specialist...

[@CareerDoctor]

+ERTAN ARARAT that is correct

[@ertanararat2046]

😊good news!!!!

[@ertanararat2046]

Dear doctor, would you explain the process of specialist pathway( area of need)? It souds weird that in the first step I have to secure a job offer before ecfmg-Epic , AMC and specialist college verification...what do you think about it?

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi keep watching my videos. There is more info.

[@SchaferMPLS]

I'm a in specialty training programme in UK, am i right in thinking that - I can apply via the specialist pathway when I finished my 7 years of ST and got my CCT; if I want to apply in the middle of my ST training i would have to apply via the competent authority pathway? Thanks

Hi. Yes you are correct on both counts.

[@CareerDoctor]

Hi Swathi I will comment as I normally do and say its not possible to be definitive on these matters with KZbin chat. If you have only just finished your MD its likely that you would have challenges getting through the college assessment process. If you would like to book a strategy call to discuss further you can do so here: shop.advancemed.com.au/product/risk-free-strategy-call/
