General Instructions
The following documents are required for your application:
- Application form

- Official transcripts for ALL courses, including transfer credits and post-bacc courses, undertaken to date
- MCAT scores or GAMSAT scores
The application fee is waived for MD cohort applicants.
Letters of recommendation and CVs or rsums are not required, but if you have them you may send them.
The School of Medicine does not interview applicants for the 4-Yr Traditional MD Program.
The medical school does not accept international applications through the AMCAS or GEMSAS systems.
Notes for Completing the Application Form
The correct application form is titled:
International Student Application for Graduate Coursework Studies

This is the form used by international students for the MD graduate level entry application.
You will learn that Australian English has its own colloquialisms. Among them, on the application, please note, tick
means check.
You may either fill out the form electronically, print and sign it, or print it first and fill it out in black ink. If you choose
to hand-write the form, please write clearly, preferably in all capital letters. Retain a copy for your files. Complete the
application form, sign and date it, and mail it to MedEdPath at:
MedEdPath
77 Water Street
8th Floor
New York, NY 10005
877-777-0155
It is recommended that you send your application using a method that allows you to track its delivery.
The numbered notes below correspond with the numbered items on the application.
Note 1 Personal Details
Enter your names exactly as they appear on your passport (family = last, given = first and middle).
Where it asks for Order of names, give the order in which you want your names to appear on your Offer letter and
Confirmation of Enrolment. Typically, First Name followed by Last Name.
Date of Birth (and generally writing dates on documents in Australia) - Enter your date of birth in DAY - MONTH YEAR sequence. This is not the sequence used in the United States, where we enter the month first. Incorrectly entering
your birthdate will delay your application.
Country of Birth. If you were born outside of Australia, please email us a copy of your Passport as a separate PDF
attachment, or mail a paper copy of it with your application.
Note 2 Applicant Contact Details
A permanent address outside Australia must be given, as well as any separate mailing address. This is required as part
of the proof that you satisfy the requirements of being an international student. This cannot be a PO Box address.
Note 3 Program of Study
Indicate the year in which you wish to begin. The rest of this section is already filled in (the commencement is Semester
1: the MD program starts once per year in January; the program code is 5578; the program name is MD.
Note 4 Scholarship Details
If you have confirmation that you will be receiving a scholarship from another provider, please attach official
documentation from your funding organization, including duration of scholarship, expenses covered by scholarship (e.g.
tuition fees, living allowance, OSHC) and details of any restrictions.

Note 5 English Proficiency

If English is not your first language but you have earned your Bachelors degree in the U.S., it is not necessary to
demonstrate your English proficiency through separate testing. Tick Yes. Your Verbal MCAT score will suffice to
demonstrate your proficiency.
If English is not your first language and you have not earned your Bachelors degree in the U.S., you must submit IELTS
scores (7 in each section). Your IELTS test must have been taken within the 2 years prior to attending.
Note 7 Academic Qualifications and Experience
Course/award signifies the degree(s) you were granted or are studying for (e.g. B.A., B.S., M.S.).
If you have not yet received your Bachelors degree, or are working on a higher degree such as a Masters, check Yes
after Are you currently studying?
Under Date results expected, enter the date your degree will be granted.
Work experience and referee reports (Rsum and Recommendations) are not a requirement of the UQ MD program.
All students check No after Do you wish to claim credit or exemptions on the basis of your previous tertiary study?
as the medical school does not accept transfer credits.
Check Yes after Would you prefer an offer even if the credit assessment has not been completed? if you would like
to receive a conditional offer of admission from the medical school subject to successful completion of your required
degree.
Note 8 Overseas Student Health Cover
International students are required to enrol in Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC; health insurance) as a requirement
of the Australian Student Visa. You may arrange for such health insurance yourself. It is, however, much easier to
have UQ arrange health insurance for you through their preferred provider, Allianz Global Assistance, formerly OSHC
Worldcare. If you choose to arrange it yourself, you must select one of the OSHC providers approved by the Australian
Government and submit documentation of your paid enrolment for the period of your degree. This must occur before
your Confirmation of Enrolment can be issued or your Student Visa be processed.
A list of OSHC providers and information about OSHC can be found at: http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/
Publishing.nsf/Content/Overseas+Student+Health+Cover+FAQ-1#insurersofferoshc
Note 9 Permission to Release Information
If you wish a third party, such as a relative, to have access to your application information, please fill in this section.
Note 10 Declaration and Signature
Please read the declaration carefully.
You must hand-sign your name on the signature line. A typed-in name or electronic signature cannot be accepted.
The application form is not considered complete without a valid signature.
Additional Required Documents
In addition to the application form, MCAT scores or GAMSAT scores and official transcripts are required in order to complete
your application.
MCAT Scores
MCATs must have been taken during the three years previous to the start date of the program (for example, for the
cohort beginning in January 2015, MCATs must have been taken from January 2012 forward.) Please either mail your
Score Report (Verification Code and AAMC ID number at the top), or email a PDF of your Score Report to: applications@
mededpath.org. You must include the Verification Code and AAMC ID.
GAMSAT Scores
GAMSATs must have been taken during the two years previous to the start date of the program (for example, for the
cohort beginning in January 2015, GAMSATs must have been taken from January 2013 forward). Please either mail your
Result Slip (Candidate Number at the top), or email a PDF of your Result Slip to: applications@mededpath.org.
Transcript(s)
Official transcripts only (not photo-copies or student copies) must be sent directly from all institutions attended to
MedEdPath. Please have transcripts for all course work leading to your degree, including summer study and course
credits transferred to your degree-granting institution, sent to our office. E-transcripts must be sent to applications@
