Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) has been designed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) in alliance with the consortium of graduate medical schools for admissions of the medical aspirants into graduate entry-programs.
The GAMSAT scores are accepted in the medical schools, including Australian National University, Flinders University, Monash University, the University of Queensland, University of Wollongong, Deakin University, Griffith University, the University of Notre Dame Australia (Sydney and Fremantle), etc.
Eligibility Criteria
Candidate for the GAMSAT must have a Bachelor’s degree (from any discipline) to sit the exam, which is followed by an interview, if shortlisted. The weightage given to the admission criteria varies with each university.
Structure of the Exam
The GAMSAT is five and a half hours’ test and aims to assess your analytical and logical reasoning skills as well as expression of ideas in a structured way. Examinees are required to read and comprehend a writing passage, interpret graphical displays of information, and apply mathematical relationships for problem solving. The test is sectioned into three parts, namely Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences (75 questions for 100 minutes); Written Communication (2 questions for 60 minutes); and Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences (110 questions for 170 minutes).
Assessing problem-solving skills of the candidates forms the main focus of the exam. This long test has one hour interval between the last two sections.
Application Procedure
Candidates can register online at www.gamsat.acer.edu.au, which is closed usually in the start of the month of February. The GAMSAT is held usually in the month of March every year at the test centers located in each capital city of Australia and in Townsville (also, New Zealand test center is in Wellington).
Conclusion
With the main focus on self-directed learning, each medical school has its own well-defined objectives for graduate-entry programs. Graduates of these schools work as medical interns and develop their careers after gaining substantial training in their field of specialization.

Help answer the question about medical schools
What are good medical schools in Michigan and Pennsylvania?I am currently a junior in high school and am seriously considering pursuing a career in medicine. I realize that to be accepted into medical school is a challenge alone but I would greatly appreciate anybody who can give me reference to good medical schools in or around Michigan, where I am currently living. I am also willing to travel to Pennsylvania, Illinois or anywhere that not an outrageous distance away. Thank you, with peace and love, Eric

how many caribbeans are there?
hahaha so my favorite part was at 0:57 where you see the guys playing frisbee and one is hopping around all happy…then it cuts to your face and you look sooooo saaaaaadddd haha
Considering where you at Johns Hopkins pre med and medical school is top in the country. With the lowering of standards in all medical programs due to a trough in medical school applicants, a solid science pre med program at any solid University would work with a good GPA, core courses, and of course an excellent MCAT score. Throw some good activities, and organizational memeberships and you should be alright.
I've posted the web page that lists all of the US med schools that offered the Combined Degree program for a BS/MD. There are other schools that offer the Combined Degree program if you intend to pursue a PhD/MD.
The main web site is the Association of American Medical Colleges (www.aamc.org). The site has a tremendous amount of information for the potential med student.
Hey this is in San Antonio, i am from there, but doing medical school in the caribbeans, haha awesome video.
Med schools care about all of your classes, not just the premed prereqs.
When you apply to med school (via AMCAS run by the AAMC) two GPAs are calculated and given to med schools: your science GPA and your overall GPA. Med schools definitely consider both GPAs when considering applicants–usually when you hear GPA requirements or averages being tossed around it's the cumulative GPA. Not only does this GPA include all of the classes you take in college (be they a science, a prereq, an elective, or a gen ed) but they include any college-level course you've ever taken….so if you took any college classes when you were a high school student, those count too.
All that said, one or two Bs isn't the end of the world…but a pattern of them (and more than one or two) will be a big deal because it plummets your GPA (and in the med school admissions game, a 3.4 starts to be considered low).
If that doesn't make sense to you, just think–not only are schools looking to see if you have the background and ability to handle the science in med school but they're looking to see if you have the ability to handle the volume, time-intensity, and demands of med school…if you can only do well in 1-2 courses at the expense of your other courses, it's not a good sign.
no buddy! I did it…. Just get your G.E. courses out of the way and then transfer 2 a University. U can declare your major at a 2year college and then go on 2 the college that best fits you. If your Pre-med like I was then tell the counselor that you want to be and he or she will give u the courses you need 2 take and tell u the GPA u must have 2 transfer and how many unit course hrs u need 2 transfer 2 a university. I did it and Im in the army and got a wife and 2 year old. You’ll be fine.
medical schools view those degrees as totally acceptable, as long as you have the required pre-requisites. You'll have to have biology, chemistry, organic, physics, etc. These are absolutely required, so you'll have to do a post-bac if you don't have them after your interdisciplinary degree. If you have them and have a good MCAT score, they are considered just as good. There are plenty of people in my school who have philosophy, religion, even dance degrees. So as long as you have the required classes (plus you will want to have some research experience, etc to show you are interested in medicine) then you will be in fine shape.
Johns Hopkins is probably the best
go to a nice, smallish school for undergraduate degree in biology (pre med) and start working towards all the things you need to do for graduate school when you are a sophomore.
i am in university of west indies trinidad final yr med school on a break.. i totaally enjoyed that movie clip..
The majority of schools still send you a letter advising you to call to schedule your interview. Some may have begun using email, though.
This not the place to ask these questions!!! but you better find out !!!
wow that was cool
There aren't any "schools". What you are looking for are RESIDENCY positions. Most major hospitals have at least a few spots for anesthesia, but I am afraid that I do not know of a complete list. This will be supplied to you via residency application services, as well as your medical school.
Somehow this relieves my doubts about going to medical school.
Thanks.
Fun is the disease, and we… are the cure. Brilliant! Can’t wait to get into medical school. I will fight and won’t stop until I am satisfied.
hahah.
G'day,
Unfortunately you did not mention the area of study that you intend to do for your graduate course. To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The information abt tuition fee and requirement will be available from the universities' website. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. The process will take abt 2-3weeks, depending on the time of the year.
Hope this helps. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia
