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.
