    A career in GP is not foe everyone. It is indeed a challenging career due to the enormous workload and constant pressure. You raise some good points. However, there are also benefits of GP. You see people from all walk of life. As they say, variety is the spice of life. You get to know your patients and their family over time. GP is more flexible than specialties like medicine, Obs & Gynae or Paeds s as you don't have to work nights and weekend.

    • @lavnya70
      @lavnya70  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi, most doctors here after internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years) and MRCP, go on to pursue higher medical specialty training (4 years) in their desired field eg cardiology, dermatology, respiratory etc. You could opt for acute internal medicine (4 years) instead if you don't want to choose any specialty.
      After IMT (3 years), MRCP and higher medical specialty training (4 years)- you become a consultant.
      This is the porcess in the UK.

    • @lavnya70

      Hi, yes, after FY2, you can apply for GP training. During GP training, you have to take the MRCGP exam. You can take maternity leave at any time and resume your training after that.

    • @faithlesshound5621
      @faithlesshound5621 Před 2 lety

      As she said before, GP trainees normally take the exams to become members of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP). But it is not a university degree. There are also diploma exams you can take after six months hospital experience in things like obstetrics, paediatrics, geriatrics, family planning, (etc) and some keen types collect DCH, DRCOG, DGM (etc) during their training. These are at a lower level than the membership exams, but relevant to practice in the community, so they may help you get a more desirable job.

    • @lavnya70
      @lavnya70  Před 3 lety +1

      After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (2-3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in your desired medical specialty eg cardiology, respiratory, acute medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, renal medicine, haematology etc (4-5 years). You can apply for higher specialty training in acute medicine or general medicine if none of the other specialties appeal to you.
