Fresh Grad finishing Internship in 20 days. Torn between AMC (Australia) vs MRCP (UK) for long-term settlement. Need realistic advice given the current job crisis.
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some honest, realistic guidance from those who have been through the grind or are currently navigating the pathways.
The reality of the current global IMG crisis is hitting me hard, and I want to utilize my time during this internship year to focus on a clear roadmap. My absolute primary goal for the future is long-term stability and settling down permanently abroad.
Right now, I am completely torn between starting the AMC (Australia) pathway or prepping for the MRCP (UK) route.
Given how competitive and chaotic things have become recently, I have a few specific questions:
AMC vs. MRCP for pure settlement: If the ultimate goal is PR (Permanent Residency) and a stable life, which country is offering a more predictable future right now? I know the UK has major training bottlenecks, but I've also heard Australia's IMG job market is getting heavily saturated with onshore applicants.
Should I buy resources right now, or just focus on finishing my internship first before booking anything?
I really want to commit to one path and give it my all instead of jumping between different options. Any advice, reality checks, or personal experiences would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, doctors!
