Very informative video for fellow IMG doctors who want to practice in the UK. Since Medical Practitioners has been added to the Shortage Occupation List, IMGs are also eligible to apply for training jobs. Communication and confidence are key in PLAB 2. Keep up the incredible content The Junior Doctor
Love the content ! I am a fellow youtuber also and international Medical graduate and I have been recording my journey to do the Plab exam and move to the UK. Just dropped by to say hey since I came across your channel recently
I am so happy you post this !!! I have just finished my studies in EU and going for a CA in Coventry while my GMC licence will be accepted . Thank you so much ! Good luck !xoxo
thank you so much for this video! I’m currently studying Med in Austria and I’m planning on moving to the UK after graduating from Med School. I’ve just had a look at the application programme and then somehow your video popped up in Google ;) thank you so much again, and I hope you have a lovely day xxx
If you have some time, can you make a video explaining to us the meaning of the different jobs in England? I heard many terms which were confusing to me honestly like FY1 and 2, SHO, CMT, ST, service jobs and training jobs... Etc?
I'm Frenchman from northern France. I feel no connection whatsoever to this place of its people. I still have two more years to go as a junior Doctor in GP, and then I'll be free to move away. I quite recently discovered Scotland, and realized that I absolutely love it there. So, when I'll be done with the last two training years, how shall I proceed with my Belgian Degreed ? Should I just send it to GMC, prepare for IELTS, and the apply for the visa ?
Hi it was very helpful thanks!!! ❤️ Im a year and a half away from graduating South Korean medical school, and it was not easy to come across relevant informations🥰 Im subscribing your channel 😌
I just completed my mbbs and i have completed my oet and i want to work as a junior doc(f1) do you have any idea which institutions are offering to supervise international graduates..????
Can you please make a video on reinstating license to practise after a doctor took a sabbatical and voluntarily relinquishing license to practise while keeping the GMC registration and paying annually for this. Would be immensely helpful if you please also let us know about any issues faced by any past doctors regarding this matter. Many many thanks in advance
Thank you! I was waiting for this video. I have two questions, I hope you can answer me: 1) Is it recommended to do a pre-graduate experience in UK to increase your chance to get in Foundation Programme? 2) Is it easy for a IMG to access in specialty?
Hi! Any prior experience doesn’t count towards a place in the foundation programme. It’s a point system with points given for academic performance and published papers etc I’m not so sure about IMG and access to specialities. It depends on your portfolio and audits and general interest into the speciality. You won’t be penalised for being a IMG
Hi, thank you for this video! I'm going to graduate in Italy at the beginning of 2020 and would like to continue my training in the UK. Still I'm uncertain of what to do next: should I get first a license in Italy or should I apply for the FP? Thanks :D
The Junior Doctor thanks for your help,my other question is that if I do my one year internship in Africa ,I can just do the step 2 and after I clear it I can work directly as a pg1 rather a first year registrar?
Thank you really helpful video 🙏🏻 I had finished my MBBS bachelor degree and my internship year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, now as I understand: 1- GMC 2- IELTS 3- PALP (part1 MCQ, part2 OSCE) 4- Foundation Years (1,2) 5- SOH 6- Training Program Am I right?
Correct up to option 4. If you’ve done your internship year, you don’t need to do FY1 you can go into FY2 which is also another name for SHO. Once you’ve got enough experience in the NHS you can apply for a training programme
@@DrEzgiOzcan Thank you so much for this video, I also wanted to ask.. 1. how do I apply for SHO? 2. what's the duration of SHO, before I can get into traning?
I have a question about the requirements to sit for the plab exam, like I know we need to complete the medicine, but in different countries the certificate issued will be different so, what should it contain to sit for the plab examination.

I want to ask as mrcs or mrcp, how is the process of RCR. I didn't get MRCR Link anywhere directly FRCR. I want to know should I directly do FRCR?? Pls explain details doctor
Hi... I appreciate the content of your video. Thanks. Hope you're doing well and great especially during this pandemic period. Please be well and stay safe... I just graduated this year from medical university in belarus and I want to do an internship program before coming to UK. I want to know when an IMG is supposed to apply to GMC. Should I apply immediately after graduation or during the course of my internship program?
Thank you for this video ! My daugther wants to be an ophtalmologist and wishes to do her studies in uk. We are french, she was said that she has to pass the IELTS and the UKCAT befor applying . I don't understand how medical studies works, what are the différent steps ? And do hospital accept girl with hijab ?
great to hear she wants to do medicine. If there are language issues she may be asked to sit the IELTS to prove her English language is adequate. Medical school ranges from 5 to 6 years. A UK entrant will apply for medicine through a website called the UCAS (deadline is early October) - theyre expected to write a personal statement and do entrance exams before being called for an interview . However I don't know how this process differs for international applicants - I'ts best to ask a few universities directly and they can tell you the best route. Regarding Hijabs - there are absolutely no isses with wearing a hijab in medical school, hospitals or anywhere else in the UK
Thank you so much, can you give us more informations about how CAN a specialist doctor (oncologist) who studied outside the UE practice medecine in the UK
Hi Abbas. As I said I don’t have anymore information that what I provided in the video. However you need to start off by getting your GMC licence before looking into practising medicine in the UK
As far as I know, (have researched and asked GMC for my specialist friends, you do not need to take the plab test. Just ielts and apply for equivalence with all the documents they will need to see if you are equally qualified for uk specs of the same specialty. It takes 6-9 months just for the assessment. But as The Junior Doctor said, just start with opening a GMC account and start your GMC registration application. Good luck!
Thank you for your video! It is helpful! But i am asking how is it possible as overseas medical graduate to do my internship in the UK? And is it beneficial that do it there? Thanks again
Hi. Once you've received your GMC licence you can build your portfolio to apply to a training programme. It's not a route I'm familiar with but this website can help basem.co.uk/careers-training/
Hello, I want a ask something. I didnt quiet get the idea of internship, for example, I've just graduated from an pakistani medical university and now I have got an MBBS degree, so now I will have to work in hospitals of Pakistan for some time and get a letter to show my work expierence to Gmc, is that internship?
Hi) Thanx a lot for the information, but I want to clarify again. If person is from EU countries, than she\he can right after ending internship in own country apply for the license in GMC , without PLAB exam, and if person isn't from EU than she\he need after internship pass PLAB 1,2 and then can apply for a license?
Yes that’s roughly correct. Some EU country graduates are still expected to sit the PLAB exam so it’s best to check with the GMC what the personal requirements for you will be
How is the process of becoming a fully credentialed & licensed UK physician different for experienced doctors coming from the United States seeking locum practice opportunities?
Hi Derrick. The process of applying and gaining GMC licence is the same (will likely not require to do a language assessment). Once a full GMC licence is obtained the doctor can do locum shifts. It is best to speak to the GMC directly for the most up to date information
Thank you; since I’ve completed 4 years post-graduate training I presume the vetting process to licensure via the GMC will not be too onerous. Also, I have 20+ years of medical practice expertise in California.
Won't it be expensive to fly to the UK just for one exam...Is there any alternative to flying there since the UK is quite far from here.Like an online examination.Pls answer this for me.
As far as I’m aware, Manchester is the only place you can sit the PLAB exam. Travelling is something all candidates needs to do so I’m afraid there is no alternative
thanks for the content, I just couldn't pretty understand the trust grade SHO program. as a graduated medical doctor from Iran, is this program necessary for me and if its not, can I participate volunteering? do I have to pay fees or am I gonna get salary? i would appreciate it if you answer my question or maybe give me some more links.
I have completed my mbbs degree 2years back in India and I would like to do md pathology in uk. What must I do? Do I need to do core training or fy2 for the same?
hello! great video as it was very helpful. However, i am a little confused with PLAB, INTERNSHIP AND THE FOUNDATION YEAR. I'm an international student in Europe and almost about to graduate medical school. 1) I'm aware i would need to take the IELTS exam first but do i need to write the PLAB EXAM before doing my internship as i would love to do my internship and practice in the UK. 2) Are the terms internship and Foundation year the same thing?
Internship and foundation year are the same thing. You dont need to do internship to do the Plab exam. But have one year of internship elsewhere as it will help you get into fy2 straight away. Theres more info on my channel ! Hope this helps
Hi.Thank you very much for this video. I found it really helpful I'm an IMG from Vietnam and i have some questions about internship? Could you please answer me? 1. Do we need to be supervised by a particular doctor while doing internship? 2. If i work as a junior doctor for a public hospital (and get paid) during the time you've mentioned, can we call it an eligible internship to apply for a full liscence? Thank you in advance :))
Hiii 😊 thank you for your questions. I couldn’t answer the specifics of an internship it’s best to check out the GMC website. I wouldn’t want to give you incorrect information ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped a lot. I've just started my 5th year (my 6th year will be my intern year I'm assuming) so when should I apply to do the IELTS? Also, what about sitting SJT? I remember you made a video about Oriel and on that page it talks about the SJT. I'm British studying in an EU country.
SJT is used to place you in a foundation programme . So after you’ve gotten your provisional license to practice, you will need to complete an application through oriel, where your medical school decile score would be included I.e how you ranked in school, that score will now be added to your SJT score to place you in the foundation school . Also be aware that if you’d been out of medical school for more than two years you would need to do a clinical assessment as well
With a 5-6 month internship in the uk prior to graduating your undergrad degree (MBBS) and also completing Plabs ,Sjt etc can an IMG apply for full registration or you will still get provisional registration and get into foundation training ?Great content heyy.. 🙏💫
Hi! Thanks for your question. If you fulfilled the criteria for the internship then you’ll be able to apply for a full gmc licence. If the gmc are not happy with the internship then they may ask you to do FY1 year to which you’ll start of with a provisional licence
ezgi merhaba ;) bu videona yakında plab yerine geçecek ukmla sınavını araştırırken rastladım. acaba 2022de uygulamaya geçecek bu yeni sistem hakkında herhangi bir bilgin var mı? şimdiden teşekkür ederim :)
please make a video of about what level an IMG can apply after clearing MRCP1,2,PACES...I have done my degree in 2015..and doing a job after it in india.....IS it at ST 1 OR ST3 LEVEL? Also how can i get an ALS certificate here in INDIA
When you enter a speciality it'll be at ST1 level unless you have extensive prior training elsewhere making you a registrar at which point there may be scope to enter at a higher level but less likely. Your ALS would need to be approved by the RESUS council, therefore I'm not sure that the qualification from India is recognised in the UK but you'd need to double check this
Hello, i am Mod , this is great video and you are very kind to answer all the question here, i have question, i graduated ophthalmology resident in Laos PDR ( South East Asia) how can i work as ophthalmologist in England ? what route would you recommend, thank you every much
Hi ☺️ the first step would be to get your GMC licence and apply for the ophthalmology training programme. You may want to work as a locus for the first years to adjust to the system and male contacts with people. Ophthalmology training posts are limited on the UK but I’m not 100% of the exact route. It’s best to ask on some of the forums I’ve linked in the video ☺️
Ezgi video için çok teşekkürler. Benim ecfmg sertifikam var usmle step1, Step2CK ve CS yi geçtiğim için. Plab ı almam gerekiyor mu? GMC nin sitesinde net bir bilgiye ulaşamadım:/
Hey! Is it compulsory for a international medial graduate to do FYI 1 & 2 if we have done 1 year internship from our coutry and cleared both the Plab examination. Like I am from india. Done my internship over here and cleared Plab 1 and 2. So I will need to do the Foundation year 1 and 2 or I will directly Get to 2 years core training programme?
Technically you could go straight into core training however that almost never happens. Often IMG take up a trust grade job and work for a year or so to adapt to the UK system before applying for training
Dr. zeezy thanks for your help and response,so fy2 will be done for a year?and after you can start your pg as a first year registrar?and kindly elaborate on the fy2 for me,is it paying job or more like a training or?
@@mbg2642 you will need to sit the PLAB exam and most likely an English language exam to obtain a licence to practice as a doctor in the UK. the GMC website which I've linked in the description will give you more information on this
I’m a fourth year MBBS student from sahiwal medical college .. me and my family has got the permanent residency in England so can I continue my remaining MBBS course in England?? Can I be migrated to any medical school in England?
If it’s required by the GMC, then yes you’d need to have done it before starting FY1. As you need the PLAB to get a GMC licence - and you can’t work before this
The Junior Doctor hello,I’m not referring to those who have completed internship and are therefore eligible for full registration,I’m referring to the part in the video where you said one could apply for the foundation programme or apply directly to a hospital and get signed off at the end of the year
wow I have been waiting for this video looooong timee I have a question. If I graduate from an EU country and I want to apply for F1 , Do they accept OET ?? Or not ?? Thank you
Hi Hussain!! sorry its taken so long :) hoping its been useful. Yes they accept OET as the new english language test alongside IELTS. You can check this info on the GMC website too :)

I just got a band 8 in IELTS. I’m an IMG doing internship in India. I will write PLAB before finishing my internship here. I want to know if I’ll get paid for my FYs in UK, and if I can apply for postgraduate courses immediately after GMC licence. And what is the procedure to get the FY1 scrapped off, so that I can join directly in the FY2 after internship.
Hi Aditya, if you have an internship technically you can go straight into FY2, however thats a decision the GMA will make you get paid for your foundation years
The Junior Doctor- 1. Do I need to finish my FY2 before applying for a postgraduate course (Eg- Internal Medicine) or can I directly apply for the same after my PLAB 2 results? 2. Also, is it compulsory to work in the UK for a specific period before applying for a postgraduate course. 3. Can I get into FY2 or work as an SHO or GP after PLAB 1 without PLAB 2?
1. Not always but you would be expected to work in the NHS for at least 1-2 years to understand how the NHS works. 2. There isn’t a specific time but you are expected to have worked in the NHS before you get into a training programme. 3. You’ll need both parts of PLAB to get a GMC licence. And you can’t work unless you’ve got a licence. You’d be able to work in a hospital but not a GP (you need to be a GP trainee or be a qualified GP to work in a GP practice)
Hi.. Your video is so nice.. I have completed internship of 1year in which medicine 10weeks, surgery 8weeks, pedia 5 weeks, obs and gyne 9weeks, orthopedics 4weeks, ooutpatient therapy 4weeks, infectious dz 4weeks, radiology 2weeks, opthalmology 2weeks, anesthesia 2weeks, ENT 2weeks Its not 3months in medicines and surgery.. My question is, am i be eligible to register and guve exam for GMC or not... Any suggestions will be greatly helpful.. Hopefully will hear from you soon. Thank you 😊.
Hi, thank you for watching my video I wouldn't know specifically in your case. It's best to check with the GMC directly to see if you can apply directly for a full licence
Hi! Im going to further my study in europe soon for the medicine course. What i concern is, since im international student/graduate is it difficult for me to do internship/residency in the europe? My degree certificate is recognized all over the europe, is it still compulsory for me to take any exam? Or does it depends on each country?
I’m a graduate from syria aleppo but i am british i have a british passport and i wanna be cadrio surgeon what steps should i do to start my specialization in the uk?
Hi. As discussed in the video you will need to gain your GMC licence first then apply for core surgical training programme which would lead to specialisation in cardiothoracic surgery

I had finished my MBBS bachelor degree and my internship year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, now as I understand:

Hello.. I’m a 3rd year medical student. Where do I need to do my electives yo be able to write plab? How many electives in home country?
Is PLAB a post graduate qualification? And can I apply to GMC registration by doing PLAB and with a MD and a 12 months internship overseas?
I have completed my mbbs degree 2years back in India and I would like to do md pathology in uk. What must I do? Do I need to do core training or fy2 for the same?
Hello ma'am,
I'm doing my M.B.B.S. right now. Do you mind helping me?
hello! great video as it was very helpful. However, i am a little confused with PLAB, INTERNSHIP AND THE FOUNDATION YEAR. I'm an international student in Europe and almost about to graduate medical school.
1) I'm aware i would need to take the IELTS exam first but do i need to write the PLAB EXAM before doing my internship as i would love to do my internship and practice in the UK.
2) Are the terms internship and Foundation year the same thing?
Internship and foundation year are the same thing. You dont need to do internship to do the Plab exam. But have one year of internship elsewhere as it will help you get into fy2 straight away. Theres more info on my channel ! Hope this helps
Is any fancial aid required after writing the PLAB examination??
Hi.Thank you very much for this video. I found it really helpful
I'm an IMG from Vietnam and i have some questions about internship? Could you please answer me?
1. Do we need to be supervised by a particular doctor while doing internship?
2. If i work as a junior doctor for a public hospital (and get paid) during the time you've mentioned, can we call it an eligible internship to apply for a full liscence?
Thank you in advance :))
Hiii 😊 thank you for your questions. I couldn’t answer the specifics of an internship it’s best to check out the GMC website. I wouldn’t want to give you incorrect information ❤️
@@DrEzgiOzcan
Thank you :))
Doc How long it takes for training after plab to become a specialist/ consultant for imgs in uk ?
Once you enter a training programme it takes the same amount of time as UK graduates
@@DrEzgiOzcan doc I'm asking about international medical graduates 🙃
@@maurya03 GP training is 3 years, if you enter GP training as an IMG it will be 3 years for you too
@@DrEzgiOzcan oh okay thnx doc 🙂
thankyou for the video doc...what is the process for doin residency in Uk and where can i get info about visa details and sponsorship
Hi! If you look at the description of the video you’ll see helpful links to answer your questions :)
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped a lot. I've just started my 5th year (my 6th year will be my intern year I'm assuming) so when should I apply to do the IELTS? Also, what about sitting SJT? I remember you made a video about Oriel and on that page it talks about the SJT. I'm British studying in an EU country.
Hi! I’m not 100% myself so I’d say check the info online or email the advisors 😊
SJT is used to place you in a foundation programme . So after you’ve gotten your provisional license to practice, you will need to complete an application through oriel, where your medical school decile score would be included I.e how you ranked in school, that score will now be added to your SJT score to place you in the foundation school . Also be aware that if you’d been out of medical school for more than two years you would need to do a clinical assessment as well
With a 5-6 month internship in the uk prior to graduating your undergrad degree (MBBS) and also completing Plabs ,Sjt etc can an IMG apply for full registration or you will still get provisional registration and get into foundation training ?Great content heyy.. 🙏💫
Hi! Thanks for your question. If you fulfilled the criteria for the internship then you’ll be able to apply for a full gmc licence. If the gmc are not happy with the internship then they may ask you to do FY1 year to which you’ll start of with a provisional licence
Hi, i am final year medical student from sri lanka. how can i move to uk as a doctor ?
Hi dear, I am from Afghanistan and can i participate in PLAB or any other exams to become a doctor in UK?
Thanks
So I can apply for GMC licence if I have completed a 12 month internship ?
Hello doctor should i go for plab or for post graduate i have done my mbbs just this year
Will be my specialisation in general/trauma surgery accepted if I am not from the UK?
ezgi merhaba ;)
bu videona yakında plab yerine geçecek ukmla sınavını araştırırken rastladım. acaba 2022de uygulamaya geçecek bu yeni sistem hakkında herhangi bir bilgin var mı? şimdiden teşekkür ederim :)
Merhaba:)
Malesef hic bir bilgim yok, uzgunum
I never new doctors existed in the UK!
not sure what you mean by that
please make a video of about what level an IMG can apply after clearing MRCP1,2,PACES...I have done my degree in 2015..and doing a job after it in india.....IS it at ST 1 OR ST3 LEVEL? Also how can i get an ALS certificate here in INDIA
When you enter a speciality it'll be at ST1 level unless you have extensive prior training elsewhere making you a registrar at which point there may be scope to enter at a higher level but less likely. Your ALS would need to be approved by the RESUS council, therefore I'm not sure that the qualification from India is recognised in the UK but you'd need to double check this

Hello, i am Mod , this is great video and you are very kind to answer all the question here, i have question, i graduated ophthalmology resident in Laos PDR ( South East Asia) how can i work as ophthalmologist in England ? what route would you recommend, thank you every much
Hi ☺️ the first step would be to get your GMC licence and apply for the ophthalmology training programme. You may want to work as a locus for the first years to adjust to the system and male contacts with people. Ophthalmology training posts are limited on the UK but I’m not 100% of the exact route. It’s best to ask on some of the forums I’ve linked in the video ☺️
Ezgi video için çok teşekkürler.
Benim ecfmg sertifikam var usmle step1, Step2CK ve CS yi geçtiğim için. Plab ı almam gerekiyor mu? GMC nin sitesinde net bir bilgiye ulaşamadım:/
PLAB ve USMLE sinavlari cok farkli. Benim dusuncem PLAB da yapmak zorundasiniz ama 100% emin degilim.
GMC de danismanlari arayip sora bilirsiniz
Hey! Is it compulsory for a international medial graduate to do FYI 1 & 2 if we have done 1 year internship from our coutry and cleared both the Plab examination.
Like I am from india. Done my internship over here and cleared Plab 1 and 2. So I will need to do the Foundation year 1 and 2 or I will directly Get to 2 years core training programme?
Technically you could go straight into core training however that almost never happens. Often IMG take up a trust grade job and work for a year or so to adapt to the UK system before applying for training
Actually if you have done one year of internship ! GMC will send you straight into fy2 ! As it's tough to get a position in fy1
Yes, you will start from fy2.
Dr. zeezy thanks for your help and response,so fy2 will be done for a year?and after you can start your pg as a first year registrar?and kindly elaborate on the fy2 for me,is it paying job or more like a training or?
Hello I m from India.i am BHMS doctor.it's been 3 months since I came UK.what can I do to get job here?please suggest me.
Have you obtained your GMC licence?
@@DrEzgiOzcan not
@@mbg2642 you will need to sit the PLAB exam and most likely an English language exam to obtain a licence to practice as a doctor in the UK. the GMC website which I've linked in the description will give you more information on this
I’m a fourth year MBBS student from sahiwal medical college .. me and my family has got the permanent residency in England so can I continue my remaining MBBS course in England?? Can I be migrated to any medical school in England?
I think you have to study within European Union.
I cant believe there are people who spend their life savings into the GMC process and UK visa just to earn 30k a year working under the NHS.
It is necessary the fy in any case?
How did you prepare for the PLAB 1 exam?
As mentioned in the video I am not an IMG and therefore did not sit the PLAB
Hey! I’m from Trinidad and Tobago. I have written my Mrcog part 1. Do I still need to write the PLAB exam?
I'm from Trinidad too looking into medicine in uk! Did you get through?
How do i apply for internship?
Thanks for the video. Please i have a question. As an international graduate do we need to do PLAB test before FY1 ?
If it’s required by the GMC, then yes you’d need to have done it before starting FY1. As you need the PLAB to get a GMC licence - and you can’t work before this
thank you dear friend . can you talk about speciality training after having passed plab exam . thank you again dear friend .
Hi! I’ve linked websites below for speciality training, I’m afraid I don’t have further information regarding post PLAB
@@DrEzgiOzcan No worries . much apreciated . and carry on the good stuff .
Thank you ☺️
As at 2017 there was no way to get full registration without going through the foundation programme, has this changed ?
As mentioned in the video if you have a an internship (FY1 equivalent) in the country you qualified from - you can apply for a full licence
The Junior Doctor hello,I’m not referring to those who have completed internship and are therefore eligible for full registration,I’m referring to the part in the video where you said one could apply for the foundation programme or apply directly to a hospital and get signed off at the end of the year
wow I have been waiting for this video looooong timee
I have a question. If I graduate from an EU country and I want to apply for F1 , Do they accept OET ?? Or not ??
Thank you
Hi Hussain!! sorry its taken so long :) hoping its been useful. Yes they accept OET as the new english language test alongside IELTS. You can check this info on the GMC website too :)
Thanksss !! :) your videos are definitely useful
So if my faculty education is in english, I don't have to give IELTS/OET right?
Unlikely you’ll need to do the test but you’ll still need to check with the gmc to be sure
Hi
I am going to year 10 next year ; I want to become a doctor but I am confused about what subjects shall I take . Any suggestions???

I just got a band 8 in IELTS. I’m an IMG doing internship in India. I will write PLAB before finishing my internship here. I want to know if I’ll get paid for my FYs in UK, and if I can apply for postgraduate courses immediately after GMC licence. And what is the procedure to get the FY1 scrapped off, so that I can join directly in the FY2 after internship.
Hi Aditya, if you have an internship technically you can go straight into FY2, however thats a decision the GMA will make
you get paid for your foundation years
The Junior Doctor-
1. Do I need to finish my FY2 before applying for a postgraduate course (Eg- Internal Medicine) or can I directly apply for the same after my PLAB 2 results?
2. Also, is it compulsory to work in the UK for a specific period before applying for a postgraduate course.
3. Can I get into FY2 or work as an SHO or GP after PLAB 1 without PLAB 2?
1. Not always but you would be expected to work in the NHS for at least 1-2 years to understand how the NHS works.
2. There isn’t a specific time but you are expected to have worked in the NHS before you get into a training programme.
3. You’ll need both parts of PLAB to get a GMC licence. And you can’t work unless you’ve got a licence. You’d be able to work in a hospital but not a GP (you need to be a GP trainee or be a qualified GP to work in a GP practice)

Hi! Im going to further my study in europe soon for the medicine course. What i concern is, since im international student/graduate is it difficult for me to do internship/residency in the europe?

I really needs ur advice in terms of this matter since i dont know hows the system works in europe. How i can get in touch with u?

How to become a nurosurgon in UK. I am final year medical student . With low economic back ground. What are the exams I have write to become a nurosurgon. What is the pathway??
Please tell me
Start by learning how to spell your speciality right!
Internship in home country - do they accept rotations in subspecialties (like pediatrics) under general medicine and (orthopedics) under surgery)?
Yes they do you can confirm that in the GMC web site or check road to the uk channel
