I passed the residency exam of my country last month and wants to do medical oncology. My friends are giving plab exams i was very confused weather to go for plab or do training in medical oncology and give mrcp after 2 years of experience in internal medicine your video really helped. Thanks ❤
I am really glad that you found this video useful. Please share with your peers.
@mommalali6518 iam stuck in same situation.im doing internal medicine residency in my home country and confused to give plab or not ?can you guide me
@@ghulamfatima6196 its better to do mrcp in our case as plab is just the licensing exam you still have to pass mrcp if you want to get residency there.
Really best video
Thanks for watching and please share with your peers.
Its Such an Informative and Clear cut description of both the exams...
Thank You maam As always
I just wanted to ask what After mrcp ?
Do we get specialty training in the royal colleges ?(Like a Pgt course in India after passing Neet ?)

Mam
I have a 5year MD degree from Central Asia as A foreign med grad
Iam From India and 1yr internship from indian govt hosp
Can I apply for MRCP exams
Please reply
Ihave checked my institute is eligible for mccqe and usmle
But plab has few issues
Can I apply for MRCP
Thank you and pls advice
I would have loved to find this video before I enroled to the Plab route, I recently passed my plab 1 exam. Anyway I supose it wuld have some advantages to do a training program from scratch in the UK.
Thanks so much for watching. All the best for your professional journey.
Hi,
I have a speciality training in cardiology for 8 years so I would get MRCP but I would like to start all the core training from the start so that I can be having the chance for going to Australia through the competent authority pathway, so can I do this after MRCP? Or I can't start from the most junior level including the first 2 years of internal medicine before the subspecialty?
I have to say you’re amazing and your videos are very much appreciated. I’m searching for the possibility for us to move to the UK as my fiance is planning to practice medicine in the UK. This is super informative and helps us so much to see what are the options out there for foreign doctors. Thank you so much for making this content!
However, we have a question regarding if there will be a difference in job finding later by taking either of these exams
Hi Laura
Many thanks for watching. I am sorry I didn't quite understand your question. Did you mean which would be better in terms of job finding? There are plenty of jobs available in the NHS presently, all you need is a GMC registration to start with for which you have to do either PLAB, MRCP or MTI. Getting a job depends on your CV and work experience. Since MRCP is a more senior degree, you can expect job offers in more senior roles eg, registrar level. Please be aware as mentioned in this video, MRCP is only for Medicine or allied specialities like critical care so MRCP is only helpful for jobs in this area. All the best.
@@AceurMRCP my apologies of not putting my question clear enough but you have addressed it brilliantly. Thank you for your answer!
Hi cam u tell what is MRCGP? I have a dermatologist in india who is saying she did MRCGP and is equivalent to md dermatologist. I dont know is she bluffing..bcoz as much as i know MRCP = MD. What is MRCGP then? @@AceurMRCP
What do you think about some consultancies offering 2 years rotational hospital Mrcp training in India , can you make a vedio on this topic
Hi, I need your guidance. I did my MBBS in 2001-2006 batch. Then I joined Indian Army. I was in Army for 5years. Recently I completed a 3yrs course named Masters in Emergency Medicine (MEM) course conducted by Society for Emergency Medicine India (SEMI). Now I am working as Attending Consultant in a corporate hospital in Delhi. Now, I want to go for MRCP exam. Will I be able to pass the 3 exams of MRCP if I can study 2-3 hrs daily? Will be tough for me as I did my MBBS long back? Will it be better if I do MRCEM instead of MRCP? Please suggest
Hi Devottom
I would suggest that if you want to pursue a career in Emergency Medicine it's better to do MRCEM than MRCP. All the best.
Mam please upload more videos on High yield topics of other systems too. Waiting!

Thank you so much

Madam...I have completed MS Ortho in India..Can I appear for MRCP and later pursue FRCP Cardiology in UK!!?
Is it practically possible?
Or should I have to stick with MRCS only as I have done MS Ortho?
Please explain the possibility
Hello i am an indian med student ,
can u please tell whether research , electives , publications etc are necessary for getting into FY1 after plab (as they are in usmle) or not ? Becz in our UG curriculum such things are not given that much inportance
Thanks🙌🏻
Hi doctor.. thank you for such an informative video.i am postgraduate in family medicine from India,more interested in the medicine specialities.should I choose to read for MRCP or MRCGP? Which is a better option in my case.
Will be eagerly waiting for ur response
Hi Vineetha
This would depend on what your long term goals are. If you wish to pursue a career in Medicine in the UK, MRCP is the exam of choice. GP is a completely different speciality in the UK.
Wow Excellent,
Crisp & Simplest comparison.
Thanks for this channel ma'am🙏🏻❤️
Hope I'll meet you some day in UK.
I have recently secured a rank below 900 in neetpg23 after one year of preparation following internship.
Until recently I was unsure about PLAB & didn't know much before
PLAB Slots for 2024 Feb is opening next month.
Now im stuck between whether to book slots for next year PLAB by not taking MD Medicine seat this year
Or Do MD Medicine & then MRCP & then enter UK.
Its so confusing.
Would be grateful to have your insights & guidance 😇🙏🏻😊
Hi
This is entirely a personal choice depending on your long term goals. I have made a 3 part video series on this topic, which I believe would help you in arriving at a decision

I have completed my ms ophthalmology recently. Do i need to have a job experience for mrcs?
Hi Mam I'm fmge from China batch 2017 I was suppose to start my internship last June but due to covid restrictions we are called this june to start our internship.. My doubt is that there is a gap year of me completing my final exams to my internship will that be a problem in gmc registration?
And I'm confused to do what kind of Pg degree I'm suppose to do and i was thinking that if I did plab 1 and plab 2 within my internship period and get a job and after that i can do mrcs maybe is that valid? And are there any other ways to do pg in uk without these exams if so what are they Mam?
Hi maam, can you recommend what are the options available after completing post graduation from India in either medicine/allied and whats the path to it

Hi
New videos coming soon.
Hi, once an IMG is GMC registered via the Plab route, should they go for mrcp part 1 straightaway for improving CV/acquiring their first job in the UK?
Hi Muhammad
If you are GMC registered you can apply for jobs in the UK even without MRCP.
But mam, without done clinical attachment and having few hospital experience and with much clinic setup experience I find it difficult to get an entry job in uk, also in some job description they are asking mrcp part 1 as essential criteria, so will it help ??
HI, I have already taken OET, so do I need to take IELTS again after MRCP part1, or OET score is accepted as well? Thanks!
Hi Rinky
OET is perfectly acceptable.
PLAB or MRCP, whatever, it's only for those who have strong connections in UK & lots of money.
I knew no one when I came here and definitely did not have lots of money.
Hello you talked about MRcp ,you said you need 2years internship before ,where and how to do please, ?
Hi Leila
I think you habe misunderstood me and apologies is the video is confusing. To be eligible for MRCP Part1 , the candidate needs to have one year of internship. For PACES, it is recommended that the candidate has 2 years of clinical experience.
Plz tell me after doing intership of 1 year which pathway is good for a doctor to work in uk either plab or Direct MRCP
and kindly tell me residency criteria?
how we get residency in uk?either plab ex or mrcp exam we get residency in uk?
Hi
This video discussed this exact question and guides you how to choose between PLAB and MRCP.
I have applied for 2022/4 exam also have sent PMQ and completed payment. But no information regarding exam venue and time seat nmbr etc supplied yet
Application window will close on 3rd October.
What can i do mam?
The team will email you once they are satisfied with your paperwork.
So if I finish MRCP WILL I be accepted in speciality training directly in e Uk ? Or it's not that simple ? What about competition ?
Hi Peter
MRCP is just one of the criteria for speciality training. I am making a detailed video on this soon.
hi maam, i have a query
i plan to pursue my PG in India. Can i do my next level ( super speciality) in UK ? if yes, which exam should i take? will that need repeating PG in uk
Hi Milu
Definitely you can do superspeciality training in the UK but you will need GMC registration and NHS experience.
After mrcp 1 can u start training in uk or u have to write both mrcp1 and 2 and paces and then training will start?
Please advise
Hi Rafia
Which level of training are you aiming for?
@@AceurMRCP i dont have any internal medicine training experience , so i will start from scratch, it willbe CT1 or CT3
Hello doctor , i just started internship in india ……..my goal is settling in uk , but plab-1 seats takes 1 year of waiting……….should i go for mrcp instead solely due to this reason ? PLAB route seems so time consuming , but i have no knowledge about MRCP route , i just found your channel.
Hi
This would depend on whether you would want to work in medicine or allied specialities when MRCP is the most recommended route. However, at your stage of career I would suggest PLAB will be be a more easy route to achieve GMC registration and will give you more flexibility.
For gmc registration do we need to complete both parts of plab?
Hi Iresha
You have to complete PlAB to be able to be GMC registered.
Hi mam..
I have done my MRCP in India. Along with MD general medicine 3 years course . I am planning to UK for my speciality training. To which i need my Alternative core competency certificate signed . To which i have to temporarily work as a non trainee for some time…. Usually how long it will take in UK being a non trainee to get the alternative core competency certificate signed ??? I know its minimum if 3 months… but what the average time…
Plz clear my doubt mam.
Hi
I would say at least 1 year.
Ma'am for plab we need clinical audits to be done during our MBBS. How do we do it in India?
Hi Malvika
I don't think audits are a prerequisite for PLAB. Please can you clarify from where you have gathered this particular information?
Its not necessary
Does 2 years clinical experience in any hospital counts? Or does only special recognized hospital count?
Hi
As long as you have the required clinical experience, the hospital doesnot matter much.
Hello Madam, thank you so much for great great great videos. Madam, I completed MD anaesthesia and critical care medicine from R G Kar MCH on 2019, did 3 yrs bond service. From last 3yrs, I have been doing general medicine in a corporate hospital Kolkata. On 19 th April, I will sit for Part 1 MRCP. Madam, can I change my stream to branch of internal medicine after clearing all parts of MRCP and IELTS and getting into NHS trainee for ST3/ST4 level?? will they give me a chance to enter ST3/ST4 trainee in a branch of Medicine,like cardio/gastro/resp with 2-3 yrs experience in gen medicine??? Please share your experience, so that I can achieve my entry into core medicine. Thank you madam.
Hi Dipanjan
In order to get into ST 4 training in medicine you have to fulfill all the entry level criteria. Please watch this video to get all the information you need

I’m a fmg student my internship is going to complete next Yr mid.. what should be best for me .. and can my wife travel with me like do we get dependent visa … plab or mrcp which can give me that
Hi Sudhanshu
As this video mentions, at a junior level like internship, PLAB is probably a better idea if you are unsure of which speciality you want to work in.
hello Maam
m Dr. sudhanshu from INDIA,
Maam i want to clear one of my query that once i pass all my three parts of MRCP , is it mandatory for me to pursue for IMT to get diploma or i will get the diploma directly after clearing all the three steps
You would get the diploma once you pass all three steps. MRCP is not linked to IMT in any way.
Dear Dr. Aparajita,
Sorry for asking again. I have cleared Part 2 written & waiting for PACES. Can u suggest "Names" of any PACES coaching centre in India which is the best according to u. I am not MD Medicine so I guess I need rigorous PACES training. I am MD Dermatology.

Hi Dr Rohit. I am also in the same situation as you. Glad to know that you are MD Derm and have passed the part 2 written. Were you able to find paces training centre in India?
For mrcp 2yr clinical experience is required in which field ? Or just 2yr experience like medical officer

Do we need to do pg from india before giving mrcp or can we give right after mbbs?

Hello Ma’am post MRCP what is next step
Hi
The immediate next step would be to apply for GMC registration if you don't have that already. Following this , if you wish to work in the UK , you may apply for training or non training jobs.
mam i am junior doctor but now days getting plab seat is difficult . so i am thinking for mrcp with plab. i am thinking for doing plab 1 and mrcp part1 together. is it possible. means how many mrcp part 1 is difficult than plab? and is Mrcpi is acceptable in uk?
Yash, I would not recommend doing both together as the exa caters to very different group of candidates.MRCP only if you are sure of the speciality and you have to pass all three parts to be eligible for GMC.

Hi mam,
I'm foreign medical graduate from Ukraine
I didn't pass my Indian license exam (FMGE)
But I have internship certificate from Ukraine
Can I able to give MRCP and also can I do PG in UK ?
Yes you can since the requirement for mrcp part 1 is one year of PG experience that includes internship so you can apply for mrcp part 1 and go ahead with Pg from UK
Hi Sibi
Yes, you can definitely apply for MRCP with the degree certificate from Ukraine.

PLAB IS BETTER THAN MRCP AS PLAB WILL ENTITLE YOU TO MULTI SPECIALITIES UNLIKE MRCP. ALSO CLEARING PLAB 2 WILL EARN YOU GMC LICENSE IMMEDIATELY .MRCP: YOU NEED TO WAIT FURTHER 4 YEARS NOT ADVISABLE
@@abdulmunim8674 yes thats the reason this is not better than PLAB
@@abdulmunim8674 clear Plab 1 & 2 within a year, get ur GMC within a year. Work un UK
Hi
Both PLAB and MRCP have their own merits and demerits. One is simply not better than the other. Each exam caters to a specific subset of candidates depending on their clinical experience and aspirations.Both othe exams are coveted by so many international doctors as each has it's own place.
Exam takers should choose wisely.
Why you have to wait for 4 years after mecp? 4 years training or 4 years wait in home country?
