All the graduate entry programs share a similar application process at this time. Candidates are first required to sit the GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admission Test), which is held yearly in March. Candidates typically sit the test in the year prior to the one they wish to start their medical degree, and the cutoff for the exam is typically in January. The GAMSAT is conducted by ACER (the Australian Council for Educational Research), which also handles the subsequent admissions process. When candidates receive their GAMSAT scores (typically in June), they apply centrally through ACER, listing their preferences for courses, and ACER forwards their applications to the relevant universities. If the applicants meet the requirements set by individual universities they are offered interviews. The interviews typically take place in September or October. Universities notify candidates of their success in October or November, and the programs start in the new year. In the United States and Canada, the term physician describes all medical practitioners holding a professional medical degree. The American Medical Association, established in 1847, as well as the American Osteopathic Association, founded in 1897, both currently use the term physician to describe members. However, the American College of Physicians, established in 1915, does not: its title uses physician in its original sense. Internship & residencyAll Australian medical graduates are required to complete 1 year of internship in a public hospital in order to obtain full medical registration. Chose of hospital to complete internship depends on individuals preferences during their final year of medical school. The exact mechanism varies by state and territory. Most recent medical graduates complete internship in the state of their medical school, though individuals can apply for internship in any state or territory. Prior to 1997, medical graduates received a provider number entitlement at the completion of internship. A provider number is required in Australia for medical practitioners to be able to access Medicare, the universal health system in Australia. Patients are able to see medical practitioners with a provider and use medicare to cover the cost of the consultation. Legislative changes in 1997 resulted in cessation of access such that graduates are now only able to gain provider number entitlements after completion of vocational post graduate medical training, a further 4 - 6 years of study after internship. Medical specialist training in Australia is conducted by the various professional colleges. Registered medical practitioners must generally complete at least two years of postgraduate residency before they can enter a training program with one of the colleges. After completing training, and passing examinations they become eligible for fellowship as a medical specialist. The professional colleges include:Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Royal Australasian College of Physicians Australian and New Zealand College of Anesthetists Royal College of Pathologists of Australia
