3 Medical Boards The State and Territory Medical Boards are responsible for medical registration in Australia. They protect the community by ensuring that only properly trained doctors are registered, and that registered doctors maintain proper standards of conduct and competence. The Boards advise the State and Territory Health Ministers on issues relating to health or medical practice. They also handle complains from the public about particular doctors, by administering the legislation that investigates, judges and, if necessary, disciplines doctors for whom an incident is reported. 2 ( ) Medical Boards [ ] Medical Board Medical Board Medical Board ( : DoctorsConnect Medical Board, Australian Government, Department of Health and Ageing [ DoctorsConnect Medical Board] Medical Board AMC AMC Examination AMC Medical Board Medical Board AMC Examination AMC Examination AMC

10 Assessing Basic Medical Education The AMC assesses and accredits basic medical education courses, that is courses that lead to a qualification that permits the holder to obtain a license to practise as a medical doctor. A graduate of a medical course accredited by the AMC is eligible to apply for registration as a medical practitioner in any state or territory of Australia. By assessing a medical school, the AMC can assure the state and territory medical registration boards that the school s educational program satisfies agreed national guidelines for basic medical education. Scope of accreditation The AMC accredits only complete medical courses that result in the award of an academic qualification of an educational institution located largely or entirely in Australia or New Zealand. By complete medical course, the AMC means that the institution awarding the qualification is responsible for the providing the entire program to the accreditation standards described in the AMC Guidelines Assessment and Accreditation of Medical Schools: Standards and Procedures. Purpose of AMC accreditation The purpose of AMC accreditation is the recognition of medical courses that produce graduates competent to practise safely and effectively under supervision as interns in Australia and New Zealand, and with an appropriate foundation for lifelong learning and for further training in any branch of medicine. AMC accreditation is based on the medical course demonstrating that it satisfies or will satisfy the AMC standards for basic medical education. Accreditation standards address the requirements for delivery of high quality medical education and cover: - The context of the medical school - The outcomes of the medical course - The medical curriculum - The curriculum teaching and learning - The curriculum assessment of student learning - The curriculum monitoring and evaluation - Implementing the curriculum students - Implementing the curriculum educational resources
