Change to Pass requirement for the Clinical Examination
This is to inform you of an important decision regarding the pass requirement for the clinical examination conducted by the Australian Medical Council (AMC).
Following an extensive review, the AMC has changed the pass requirement for the AMC clinical exam from 10 out of 14 stations to 9 out of 14 stations. This change takes effect from 21 March 2024. This means that any candidate who has passed 9 out 14 stations from this date will have the pass mark reflected in their AMC Candidate Account and results feedback.
This change will not be applied to AMC clinical exam results prior to 21 March 2024.
The change in the pass requirement is part of our continuous review of assessment to ensure that we maintain the highest possible standards in line with international benchmarks. We recognise that international medical graduates play a critical role in the health care of Australian communities. We are committed to ensuring that we have timely, efficient and effective systems for assessing international medical graduates who are seeking to practise medicine in Australia.
