In conclusion, pursuing a postgraduate degree in Australia after an MBBS in India opens doors to world-class education, diverse specialisations, and bright career prospects. With prestigious universities and generous scholarships, it's a path worth considering for aspiring healthcare professionals. For more details, feel free to reach out to AECC.
When it comes to PG medical institutions and universities, the United States ranks first. The qualifying requirements are an MBBS degree or equivalent.
Almost all medical programmes in Australia are accredited at Level 9 as a Master's programme and grant the Doctor of Medicine - MD degree. The PG programme here lasts four years.
India is a major source of overseas doctors or International Medical Graduates (IMGs) practising in Australia at both the trainee and specialty levels. Of course, no doctor from another nation can be certain that he or she will be permitted to practise in Australia.
You must be paid the minimum salary. You must pay taxes on your earnings. You must be given a pay stub. During term time (unless you are a PhD student), you can work up to 40 hours every two weeks and unlimited hours during your vacation periods.
