Page 1 of 1: Prospects of PG medical courses for IMGs in Australia?

simgud · Credits: 828 My Scrapbook

Hi
There are so many PG medical courses (Diplomas/Masters by Reasearch/Coursework and many more) offered by many Australian universities, for example Masters of Medicine, Women's health , Emergency Medicine, Child Health etc.
I wish to know the prospects of those courses in Australia for OTDs.
We can apply for PR after one year of studying full time in Australia . What are the job opportunities apart from that?
I hope you all understand my haphazard questions and specially the senior members or anyone please guide us.
Regards

there are few easy courses that can be done in Australia

one of them is diploma in child health run by children' s hospital at westmead.

The criteria for being awarded DCH are multi-faceted and include the following:

Junior Medical Staff at CHW are required to complete their employment contract.
Minimum attendance at 60% of lectures (this requirement must be met in order to be eligible to sit the exam)
Successful completion of both the oral and written components of the DCH examination
Six months experience in clinical paediatric medicine or its equivalent. This is calculated at 25% of any time spent in Emergency Departments (where paediatric patients are treated regularly), General Practice, Obstetric & Gynaecology terms. Community or general practice Paediatrics may be considered as experience. GP registrars who have done or are doing a three month paediatric term concurrently with the course are also accepted into the course. (see attached information in application form).
Satisfactory completion of other course requirements including community visits, the end of year examination and a case report.
Candidates may be accepted into the DCH course and sit for the examination before completion of the required duration of paediatric experience. However the DCH will only be awarded after completing six months Paediatrics (or its equivalent) subsequent to the examination

i dont know what all courses are offered in Australia , but i can tell you that orthopaedics and radiodiagnosis are two of the specialities which are in very very high demand in aus. so it is very difficult for OTDs to get into orthopaedics or radio training programme.
i am telling u this because my husband is an othopaedician(MS,MRCS ,also has a couple of internatonal presentations and publications) and is working as a registrar in aus for past 3 months...but to get his FRACS degree he has to start from step 1 here. he cleared the feb amc mcq exam and is looking forward to get into training programme after amc clinical and full registration in aus.
i am not discouraging u guys...try your luck
