title: Educational support for overseas-trained doctors.
abstract: Overseas-trained doctors face a number of obstacles in the process of seeking to become registered to practise medicine in Australia. Educational support programs have been developed in all states to assist overseas-trained doctors to prepare for the examinations of the Australian Medical Council. We describe our experiences in providing such support and detail the educational needs we have identified of overseas-trained doctors migrating to Australia.
