Four tips to get IMGs through the RACGP fellowship exams

A medical educator says they face a unique set of challenges that might be holding them back

When it comes to passing fellowship exams, the challenges faced by IMGs outside the registrar training program and Australian-trained graduates has been a vexed issue. 

Figures are rarely made public by the RACGP. But back in 2019, it revealed a breakdown of its data, which showed 56% of IMGs on the Australian General Practice Training program passed its Key Feature Problem (KFP) exam. 

This compared with 83% of Australian-trained registrars. 

For IMGs outside the program, the pass rate fell to 37%.
