Dear Mates,

First of all, I have to thank you for your time to read my thread. I am confused regarding specific questions related to my case .I am sorry if it is not the suitable address to discuss my issue.


Briefly, I am an IMG, I got my surgical practice 5 years in general surgery in Middle East and obtained my Master degree in general surgery from Middle East University. Moreover, I applied with my wife to visa subclass 176 ( sponsored by family member) and Obtained my permanent residency in Australia. I have granted my permanent residency in Australia.


I am thinking of taking the AMC MCQ to practice surgery in Australia. I would like you to give me a hand regarding how to practice surgery in Australia. In addition to that,


1) What is the suitable pathway for me to gather surgical training program?
2) Is it preferable to Obtain Membership of Royal Collage of Surgeons from England or Ireland "MRCS of England or Ireland" ?
3) Would my permanent visa help me to shorten the pathway?
4) Could you tell me about an agency to guide me?


You may tell me about the specific pathway and where to start if you could't specialized regarding answering me previous questions. In addition to that I visited the official web site of the Royal Australasian College of Surgery BUT I couldn't identify where to start.

I am expecting a soon reply from your side.Thank you again for your help. Your cooperation will be more than appreciated.
