The Australian Medical Council (AMC) has prepared this book to assist overseas–trained doctors who are preparing for the AMC AMCQ examination. This book will be a valuable guide and self–assessment tool to assist in sitting for this exam. It also illustrates the best–practice principles for a wide range of medical conditions found in the Australian community. All medical students will find this book an invaluable aid as an educational resource in preparation for their clinical assessments, as should postgraduate trainees preparing for higher degrees across the spectrum of general and specialist practice. The questions are representative of curricula of medical schools at universities across Australia.
