Most medical degrees in Australia are post-graduate. To get into medical school, you will need to sit the feared Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT). The test is very cutthroat, with a large number of students competing spots consistently, and just the best 15-20% of applicants will get a med school offer.
The entry score for school shifts, however you for the most part need to pass each section of the GAMSAT, and you need to have finished a Bachelor's degree within the last 10 years and have accomplished a GPA of north of 5-5.5 out of 7.
GAMSAT sits two times each year (normally March and September), and results are typically delivered around a month and a half later.
On the off chance that you are sitting a March test, you can enter med school one year from now; in any case, on the off chance that you sit a September GAMSAT, your outcome won't be valid for the immediately subsequent year, but the next one instead.
Most schools then, at that point, expect students to go through an MMI Interview, which ordinarily comprises of a roughly two-hour interview where you cycle between a few questioners and perform different undertakings and answer a scope of inquiries.
Contingent upon the manner in which you enter med school, there are two sorts of degrees in Australia: Five-year or six-year Undergraduate Bachelor degrees, and Masters level degrees (generally called 'MDs' - however the undergrad variant may likewise be called this in certain circumstances).
When you are at last in med school, your experience will be partitioned in view of your year level (we will assume that the course runs for 4 years, the standard length).
The first year of med school is in many cases zeroed in on grasping the ethics, foundation, and role of the doctor, as well as concentrating on essential physiology, anatomy, and pharmacology.
During the second year you generally keep on gaining some useful knowledge of frameworks based theory (for example physiology), with the help of Problem-Based Learning (PBL). These are normally two times week by week classes and are like instructional exercises.
The third year, or your most memorable year of learning, is an exceptional change. You are pretty much thrown out from the security of the school into the public field, where you should collaborate with specialists, experts and medical caretakers, on top of the overall population.
During the last year of your review, frequently the fourth year, there will be plenty of clinical commitments, frequently ones that you can plan yourself, and different open doors in research and general wellbeing.
All Australian medical students should then finish one year of internship in a public clinic before hospital. After the internship, you are then FINALLY able to be a called a doctor!
