Hello Sir - I cleared my MBBS this year. What are the possibilities of pursuing higher studies and also professional career in Australia? What are the exams and qualifiers to be cleared ? Request your answer please and thanks a lot in advance.

Ans: Hello Sanjay,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations on passing your MBBS exam! It is undoubtedly possible for you to pursue advanced studies and a professional career in Australia. Australia has a developed healthcare system and excellent employment prospects for medical professionals.

To practise medicine in Australia, international medical graduates must normally complete a sequence of steps, which include the following:

1. English Language Competency: A language test in English, such as the Occupational English Test (OET) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), is required to prove your ability in the language.

2. Register with the Medical Council: Depending on the state or territory you plan to practise in, you must submit an application for registration with either the Australian Medical Council (AMC) or the Medical Board of Australia (MBA). You must submit your credentials and finish the relevant documentation as part of the registration procedure.

3. Competency Evaluation: To make sure your credentials fit Australian standards, you'll probably need to go through a competency exam as an international medical graduate. The AMC typically administers the assessment, which entails assessing your clinical and medical expertise. Both a written and a clinical exam could be a part of this.

4. Career Placement Opportunities: You can begin looking for employment opportunities in Australia as soon as you have received the required registration and evaluation. There are many options to choose, including public hospitals, private practises, or research institutions. Finding suitable opportunities can also be facilitated by networking with and establishing connections with Australian medical experts.

In terms of advanced education, Australia provides a variety of postgraduate medical programs and specializations. Master's degrees, doctoral programs, and training programs for different medical specialties are a few examples. Universities and hospitals in Australia both provide these programs.

It's vital to keep in mind that precise guidelines and procedures may change depending on the Australian state or territory you intend to practise in. For the most recent and correct information on registration and additional education, it is best to get in touch with the appropriate medical authorities or professional organizations in Australia, including the AMC or the MBA. Wishing you success in all of your future endeavours in Australia!

my daughter has completed MBBS this year. She want to pursue Masters in public health in an Australian university. preferably in SA. Please guide what is the prospects of employment after course and chances for PR in Australia.
Ans: Hello Sandeep,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am glad to hear that your daughter has completed MBBS this year and intends pursuing her Master's degree in Public Health in Australia. As an answer to your query pertaining to employment prospects after course completion, I would like to inform you that international students studying their Master's in Public Health (MPH) in Australia are provided with outstanding opportunities. There is a need for experts in public health across the globe, including Australia. Your daughter will be provided with a solid base in public health and have ample employment opportunities, after she completes her Master's in Public Health (MPH) in Australia, particularly in SA i.e. South Australia. I would like to tell you that employment possibilities in charitable associations, academic institutions, healthcare organizations, as well as departments of public health.

To answer your second query regarding chances for PR i.e. permanent residency in Australia, I would like to let you know that there are different pathways for international students to attain PR in Australia, with the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program, which entails both, the skilled nominated visa (subclass 190) and the skilled independent visa (subclass 189), being the most typical among them. Remember that obtaining pertinent professional experience in her chosen field of study, ideally in a rural area or at an area that is sparsely populated can aid in enhancing her chances of obtaining permanent residency, as doing so can increase her points for GSM. Not just that, South Australia may have its unique routes to attain permanent residency that resonate with your daughter’s academic credentials and her career, and for that reason I would recommend that she investigates programs for nominations tailored to each state. Additionally, she should get in touch with a migration consultant as he/she would be in a better position to offer useful advice provide in this procedure. Remember that staying abreast with the most recent prerequisites and guidelines is crucial, as procedures pertaining to immigration may alter.

I took 2 drops for neet but could not clear it .... I took admission in local college after 12th for bsc as my parents said your year won't be wasted ... Now I feel devasted .. very detached ..not knowing what to do next ... My parents are telling me to give one try and go to Kota for prep but I don't know what I want ..I fear everything and sometimes I want to peruse mbbs sometimes I don't .. I am currently thinking of doing SSC CGL as I took pcmb in 12th and secured 92% .. ..what should I aim?
Ans: HI
Simply taking a drop year for NEET will not provide a solution without proper preparation. Many young people are choosing courses, colleges, or coaching centers based on their friends' influences. After your first attempt, you may have analyzed NEET better the second time. If you are still facing the same issues on your third attempt, it suggests there's a deeper problem. It seems you're preparing for NEET without genuine interest.

To succeed in competitive exams, specific strategies are required. For instance, if you analyze previous exam patterns, you’ll often find that most answers tend to be either B or C. You'll notice that among four options, two answers are relevant while the other two are completely irrelevant. It’s crucial to analyze the syllabus and past question papers thoroughly. Everyone seeks answers, but few consider the reasoning behind them.

Additionally, I noticed you’ve enrolled in a B.Sc. degree; I'm unsure which major you have chosen. If you selected either chemistry or physics, it would be beneficial. By choosing chemistry as your major, you could take physics as an ancillary subject, and vice versa. You can cover both subjects during your college education, and if you have any doubts, you can clarify them with your professors. Completing biology studies at home is also advisable.

Whenever you plan to take competitive exams, dedicate your time solely to that without engaging in college activities. Avoid distractions at all costs. Recently, many parents have been facing these types of challenges with their children, and it takes time to adapt.

Finally, please listen to your parents' advice and minimize distractions. I have shared a few tips; please follow them.
BEST WISHES.
