To best understand HOW we are different, we invite you to learn about our story…
Our Story:
My name is Vinu, and I would like to welcome you to Oyamed. Like you, I am a medical graduate and have traveled the same journey that most of you have undertaken or may be considering now. Migrating to a new country and getting yourself established in a new country.
Since our inception in 2021, Oyamed has set out to enable IMGs to pass Australian Medical Council exams.
At OYAMED, we want to solve the biggest problem IMGs face in Australia: passing the Australian Medical Council (AMC) exams. We believe there is a better way to approach the exam. We train IMGs on the key skills needed to approach the Australian Medical Council (AMC) exams and the tricks to pass the AMC clinical OSCE. We aim to help you pass your AMC exams in the first go. Your success makes us at OYAMED happy.
No wasted time. No wasted money. No empty promise.
Let us help you achieve your potential.
