The Philippine Australian Medical Association (PAMA), Victorian Chapter will assist Filipino doctors and dentists in Australia to pass the Australian Medical Council/Multiple Choice Question exams, the gateway to medical practice in Australia. This is according to the newly-elected PAMA Victoria President, Dr Lorinda De Leon in her opening speech during the formal induction of PAMA officers last 7 December 2013 at Dr De Leon’s clinic at 1 Raven Crescent in Narre Warren.
Aside from this, PAMA will conduct medical assistance to Filipinos in Australia and the Philippines. Next year, De Leon said PAMA Victoria will hold a fundraising campaign to be used for their medical missions. They will join PAMA Sydney as it has a yearly annual medical mission and 2014 will be its 7th consecutive year of doing it.
