The USMLE, or the United States Medical Licensing Examination program, was created in response to the need for one path to medical licensure for allopathic physicians in the United States. It was desirable to create one examination system accepted in every state to ensure that all licensed MDs had passed the same assessment standards, no matter in which school or which country they had trained. Today, all state medical boards utilize a national examination – the USMLE for allopathic physicians. USMLE is not just another test—it’s much more. Unlike other exams, the USMLE comprehensively tests how well you can apply your skills, knowledge, and attitudes to real-life, patient-centered scenarios.
The USMLE consists of 4 exams. Each step is taken at a different point in your medical career and requires different levels of USMLE preparation. Consider each USMLE Step its own individual exam that you’ll need to prepare for.
With an extensive knowledge library and integrated case-based questions, the International Higher Educational Campus (IHC) can help you sharpen your clinical reasoning. The materials are prepared with quality content as they are developed by the medical experts. IHC also helps the participants to practice tests that are similar to the actual exams, which keeps them one step ahead of the competition.
The programme has been designed to :
The performance of the aspirants is analysed by conducting mock tests to help them identify their areas of improvement, and they are trained to have enough confidence to appear for the USMLE exam accordingly.

The Australian Medical Council (AMC) is an independent national standards body for medical education and training. The AMC’s purpose is to ensure that standards of education, training and assessment of the medical profession promote and protect the health of the Australian community. AMC certification is required for international medical graduates (IMGs) who wish to be licensed in Australia. To achieve AMC certification, an IMG must pass the AMC MCQ Exam and the AMC Clinical Exam, as well as have their medical diploma verified.
MCQ exam
The AMC MCQ exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) organized through computer adaptive scoring. It is delivered in one 3.5-hour session. The pass mark is set to match the level of knowledge required by Australian medical schools for their final-year graduates.
Clinical exam
The AMC clinical exam consists of 16 stations. At each station, the candidate has two minutes to read a presentation of a case and determine what tasks they are expected to perform. Each station usually has three or four tasks. Taking a focused medical history, performing a focused physical examination, suggesting differential diagnoses or additional diagnostic procedures, or informing about treatments are all examples of tasks. A candidate then has eight minutes to perform the tasks and is required to pass 12 out of 16 cases, including one compulsory case in each of gynecology and pediatrics.
We aim to help international medical graduates strengthen their foundation of medical knowledge whilst focusing on topics and content that are of the utmost importance in the AMC examinations.
By training our students in common clinical scenarios encountered in the Australian healthcare system, we equip you with all the necessary tools to understand the latest medical protocols, an essential key to passing the AMC exams with exemplary scores.
