The normal way for a person to become a medical practitioner in Victoria is by doing a university course leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB BS). The graduate is then eligible for provisional registration by the Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria. After serving a compulsory internship year in an approved hospital, he/she is eligible for final registration in Victoria, and for registration in other states of Australia.
The Australian Medical Council (AMC) has the responsibility for the accreditation of medical schools in Australia.
