Overview - PESCI

The Pre-Employment Structured Clinical Interview (PESCI) is conducted by the College to ensure you have the knowledge, skills and experience required to practice safely and effectively in Australia.

If you are an International Medical Graduate (IMG) applying for registration to practice in Australia via the Standard Pathway you must attain a satisfactory outcome in a PESCI.

New PESCI Preparation Module

The College has developed a simple online module to help IMGs prepare for and understand how ACRRM conducts PESCIs.

This module has been designed to answer commonly asked questions about the interview structure and the assessment criteria.

This module is free of charge for PESCI applicants to help them prepare for the PESCI interview.

This module will provide an overview and understanding of:

  • What to expect during the interview
  • The role of ACRRM and our PESCI panel members
  • The assessment criteria used during the interview
  • Steps an IMG can take to prepare for the interview.

Want more information about the module or requirements and pathway options for IMGs? Please contact img@acrrm.org.au to find out ways in which ACRRM can assist.

About PESCI

A PESCI is a fitness-for-task assessment and interview where the panel assesses your skills, knowledge and experience for the position for which you are seeking registration to practice in Australia.

Your PESCI result is only valid for the role indicated in the position description provided and the result of the PESCI is not transferrable to another position.

A separate PESCI is required for each position and results are reported to AHPRA.
