Overseas‐trained doctors face a number of obstacles in the process of seeking to become registered to practise medicine in Australia. Educational support programs have been developed in all states to assist overseas‐trained doctors to prepare for the examinations of the Australian Medical Council. We describe our experiences in providing such support and detail the educational needs we have identified of overseas‐trained doctors migrating to Australia.
