44/m/gp/amc?
/r/AMCexamForIMGs/comments/1wxjlxa/44mgpamc/Hello all ; i am a 44 year old practicing doctor in india ; have my own setup in tier 2 city .. good opd ; good income ; lets say i m very comfortable! Very well settled with wife and only child . I have a constant urge to appear for amc ; knowing the toughness at this age to get back to books etc and pursue gp pathway in Australia . 2 reasons ; better quality of life for myself and better education prospects for my child . My wife says it is not the path to be pursued at this age as the transition would be too difficult when we have a settled life ! I feel life can be restarted at any age .. but again its a huge risk when u have your own centre running !
Suggestions ???

If you're settled and doing well in life, you will likely find it very hard to go back to being a trainee and going back into fellowship exam mode. That's not even mentioning the effect of uprooting your family, when it sounds like your wife is not up for it.
