DOCTORS – EDUCATION

There are many medical schools throughout the world that have not been accepted as producing graduates of equal standing to those of the Australian universities. And so graduates from those medical schools are required to repeat the last three years of their study in an Australian medical school before being eligible for registration.

Of course, an adequate knowledge of English is also essential.

A person enters the medical school of an Australian university following Matriculation. Most universities have a quota system, and take students on the basis of their examination results.

Generally, the requirement for acceptance as a medical student in Australia is good marks in chemistry, English, physics, biology or a branch of mathematics, plus the best mark in any subject other than these.

The medical course generally consists of six years of study, though recently in NSW the length was reduced to five years.

The pre-clinical science subjects studied in the first three years include chemistry, physics, biology, bio-chemistry, anatomy, physiology, bacteriology and pathology.
