Yay, thank you!
Money and time, two things are required for USA. A lower middle class person can never ever afford USA. A person who earns himself as a medical student or whose father is a working class person, believe me USA is impossible. 30-40 lacs ka kharcha hai. And requires a time of 4-5 years. Plab is way faster and cheaper. Jitni dair mai Apki USA Mai matching honi or apne 3 lac dollar kamane shoro krne hai utnindair mai plab wala 1 lac se increase ho kr 3lac pr ajai ga. So Plab is way better
You are right Haaza but for some extent.
USMLE do need time and money but i have seen many students with working class background to do usmle and now they are doing residency is USA.
Like how much time after mbbs is required in doing plab and getting Salary
After house job almost 1-1.5 year, to get your plab test clear and get a job in NHS. Some time it would take more time if you take more time to prepare.
Thank you.. well explained đ
Thanks
Well said thanks
Thankyou so much :))
Please make a stepwise guide on PLAB. great info sir.
Will do soon Irta :)
Great knowledge đ
đ
How calmly did he clear everything â€ïžmake a video on PLAB sir
Sure iA
Appreciated đ
đđ
Can you please give us further guidance about plab stepwise ? It will surely help us as far as this information is enough to clear our mindset weather opt for USMLE or plab đ
AOA can you tell after clearing STEP2 i.e after becoming MD what can be different options for a medical student in addition to induction in America??
whats the time limit after which step1 gets expired?
Thank you
Welcome!
In which month does FY2 start and in which month does FY2 end?
Great info bro
Appreciate it
Impressive video
Thankyou so much :)
Achi informatiođâ€ïž
Thankyou so much âșïž
why nobody talked about family visaâs in these videos
Plab sounds good...very informative videođđ
Yeah it is a very good pathway :))

For plab 2 do we have to study in acadmey in the uk for prep?
Most of the academies for preparation are in UK.
Somewhere i heard that there were some academies who help you prepare MRCP 2 and PLAB 2.
Uk Academies preparation is not mandatory but is recommended.
Sir i am in first year mbbs and i want to give USMLE in 3 year what is your suggestion to me
Can I eligible for medical licensesing exam of UK after studying MBBS form china by skipping NLE exam
Bhai you know the research opportunities are not very good in Pakistan. I'm preparing for Step 1 and currently waiting for Final year result. What do you suggest?
Afnan get in touch with your seniors and try to get yourself in publications. It is better to have a name as a fifth then to have no publication. Also as you are waiting for your final year result this time try to make use of this time.
Bro plz make a video about plab approach
Okay sure in Future. :) Thanks for your suggestion. :)
you mean passing nle / pmdc exam is must for giving plab?
yes.
I heard that for Bangladeshi/Indian Graduate most commonly internal Medicine and Psychiatry are offered for residency, and they also told me that it is very difficult to pursue residency in others speciality like surgery, Cardiology, Oncology...
And another one thing they told me that "racism is a burning things in there, US citizens donât kill you by gun but surely they kill you by litigation.. "
Is this true?
Or i should run after plab?
I donât think this is true. In Pakistan this year 10+ students are matched in surgery. A lot more students are marched in US from India in surgery. To address this residency issue and matching soon i will make a video in 1-2 week iA.
If you want to do PLAB that is also a good option. Both Usmle and Plab has its pros and cons.
Bhaiya, where are you doing your residency from? Also, I heard that the US system prefers their natives for competitive fields and since I want to go into surgery, should I try my best and focus on usmle or plab? I would be happy to go to any of the two countries but obviously, like you said, US is at the top so I am a little confused, please help
No they don't allow surgery. U can persue internal medicine, peads, psychiatry in US
For doing residency in surgery or any competitive field you should either have an outstanding cv or you have to do clinical research program for 1-2 year. Residents do get matched in surgery fields but they are a bit rare.
Sir my passport has two rejections stamps on it, still by Passing USMLE can i get US visa?
Ahmad You can try to find out what is causing them to do that. Also more rejections you had chances to get into USA get slim.
Are UK Training Standards good?
I think Uk training is far better as compared to our standards.
It is only second to US.
sir i got to know that usmle step 2 cs is no longer in contention... is it?
Yes that is true for now. We donât know for sure in future.
@@HannanTayyab thank u sirđ

Sir g if a student complete his or her House job from Pakistan then what would be the duration of foundation for the Student in UK??
1 year, have to complete one year more to get two year requirement of foundation year.
Are foundation years paid in uk?if yes,what is the salary?
25-30k ÂŁ per annum. Some are paid more.
From where are you doing your residency?
Lahore General Hospital
Also can u tell if mbbs is done from Europe Czech Republic then what will be the process to apply in usa or uk for residency? As there you get MD degree in 6 years
Sumaira Khan i think there will be some relaxation for Plab if you have done MD from European Union but to enter into residency in US you have to clear USMLE. Even their own students have to do usmle in order to get residency there in US.
Thanks for the info
How long it takes to become Consultant in UK?means what is the duration of foundation year plus residency there??
It composed of 2 year foundation year and core training path 1-3 years and then speciality training program so it can take 5-9 years depending upon your desired field.
Dr sahb! I have a question is there a salary in UK during foundation years!?
Pleas sir I will be glad if u answer!
Yes shah sahib you should have around 30k pounds per year salary in foundation year.
Foundation year means what ? During training years? But training years ma wo pay kyu karta ha? Can U plz Elaborate Sir...I am glad if u Answer plz!!
Kindly make a video how to prepare usmle step 1 from 1st year Mbbs â„
I have made one for first year MBBS. You can search it in my channel.
@@HannanTayyab kindly share the links

FMG students can also give PLAB without giving NLE
i think to get the house job certificate as there is a requirement in PLAB that the candidates should complete a minimum of 12 months of postMBBS clinical experience at a teaching hospital.
No you donât have to clear nle , you can do 1 year housejob on provisional certificate if you are a fmg and havenât taken nle exam
after one year or housejob you have to clear nle but thatâs only for Pakistan you
Ik pakistani student jis nae mbbs aboard sae keya hu jis ki university WHO se recognized hu tu hum plab kaleya ja sakte ha..
Aur agar for example agar koye cardiologist bana chahta ha tu ban sakte ha ....? Uk mei.....
Rply me ASAP...
Saad i think ap kr skty hen. Also when you will do plab you can choose later in any field you want. One of my friend recently got inducted in gastroenterology in ST3. So you can get into cardio.
@@HannanTayyabTysm. Sir one last question.
If someone score average in his 10th and 12th and get a medical degree from a recognized university so those person can also give plab exam..i mean those Person are also similar just like another who score well in 10th and 12th and get a medical degree and give plab exam ... is there any difference in his dignity or not...?
This question is in my heart form many years .
Yeah Saad I totally understand your question.
When you get a medical degree and you get a pmdc you are equivalent, there are sometimes some harsh comments for someone who has a superiority complex. Otherwise your marks am does not matter especially of 10 th or 12th.
If you do plab/usmle and start training in uk or USA then there is absolutely no discussion of your marks either higher or lower.
Can we get pay in foundation years in uk
Yes, They pay you in foundation year.
Sir, I'm from Nepal
and if i complete my mbbs course from cairo university (egypt), will i be eligible for plab/usmle directly or firstly I'll have to pass the NMC??
Hope you reply
You have to check if your school is in the World Directory of Medical Schools, You have to pass the USMLE exam, You don't have to get Nepal medical council license as we don't need Pakistan medical license for the exam. You need one licensing exam and that is USMLE for the US.
@@HannanTayyab okay sir, got it
thankyou so muchđ
Hi,I am currently in final year MBBS and I have my mom and wife in my family.
Can I take them to USA after matching for residency as they are dependent on me?
Which country allows easy immigration for spouse and mother?
I have heard that you can't take mother to USA without citizenship, how much time it takes to get citizenship after starting residency?
Think depending upon visa type. Usually, take 5-10 years for green-card application. But I think You can take your wife with you as she is dependent on you, don't know about your mother but once you are settled there after your residency or fellowship, you can take them. * difficult topic* you have to dig deep on this.
Will one be paid during PLAb foundation years,,,jesa apne kaha wahan ki hj smjh lein aam lafzo mai,,,to yeh paid hoti ya hum apne khrche pe krrahe hote
Yes, you get paid in foundation year.
Bhaiyjaan can u full details on plab and language English test all information new vedio
Sikandar i could not understand this ??
@@HannanTayyab I want to say during mbbs how apply for language test and plab1 and when and what's best book
@@sikandarprince4856 For language test you can clear it now but IELTS result is valid for two years starting from the date of your exam. So in first it is too early to give language exam.
AOA, I wanted to ask that as a second year medical student, what can I do to improve my CV for applying to residencies abroad like USA, UK etc....because in Pakistan there aren't many internship opportunities or research opportunities that the Unis provide...pls guide me on that, also do online medical courses on websites like coursera, help make your CV better??
Ahmad Ali let me ask someone and get back to you.
Ahmad There is no benefit as such getting medical coruses from coursea, It is better that you get online courses from recognized medical institute like WHO, or your like online courses of well recognized hospitals like Mayo and Harvard.
@@HannanTayyab AOA Sir... Yes there are courses from Harvard and Stanford, Hopkins on Coursera, however I was confused in general whether courses on research writing, neuroscience, and medicine related from these universities will help....I guess you already answered it, so Thanks Alot â€ïžâš
@@AhmedAli-km5sp You are Welcome
Hello, u can search USMLE sarthi. They have a research program, they teach u how research is done and let u do one research too. Check usmle sarthi videos (for usmle speocofically)
Is residency and house job paid?
Yes both residency and foundation Year is paid.
After doing mbbs and internship from abroad like China Kazakhstan Bangladesh Nepal etc can we directly go for plab or home country license is mandatory ?
@@kookie-rd6pe no it wont cause any problem
Kiya fcps ka bd consultant nhi bn skta?
Bn skty hen after fcps.
Salam sir mai ny suna hai ke student hain khuch jo 2nd year ke badd bhi usmle dety hai ??Is it true i means jesa ap ny bataya 4th year ke bd dety hai step 1 tu khuch log 2nd year ke bd bhi dety hai?
You can give it in third year, never heard of second year.
@@HannanTayyab ok thanks sir
Sir plsssss do let me know k agr koi USMLE course k through apni residency+fellowship krny k foran baad apna home country (Pakistan) ata hai to native health care system ma us candidate k status kia hota ha like finances jobs opportunities BPS k lehaaz say
Higher institute like agha khan and al shifa prefer MD. Also in rank they are like have the same status as of a consultant.
@@HannanTayyab loved the fact u always respond to queries ASAP
I pray Allah bless u with HIS most unique blessings đŠđ»
@@antzabtera8837 You are most welcome :))
Just wanted to know, if we do our pg course in UK / America , is it necessary to settle there ? Or can we come back to our home country to practice once the course is completed?
Its your own choice Akshara, You can come back when you are done with your residency.
@@HannanTayyab Ohk Thanks
I think when you are done with residency there is different paths to bring your parents, they can come along, but in residency initially it is difficult.
Do u have to pay for residency in Uk or Usa or u will be paid by them?
Residency is paid by them.
Can you pls suggest that which country is better for doing mbbs, I am from UAE and confused between Pakistan and Czech Republic which country should I choose?
@@sumairakhan3004 I donât know much about Czech Rebulic. If your are going for Plab I think it would be beneficial but for Pakistan I think you can go for Pakistan. Also I think you should consider housing and cost of both.
Ok thank u but u think is it worth it doing mbb from pakistan, as i am not planning to stay in Pakistan after the degree. Also is it necessary to do house job for applying for USMLE or Plab?
@@sumairakhan3004 if you are not want to stay in Pakistan then I donât think there is enough reason for you to do MBBS from here. You need foundation years for plab so your 1 year of house job can be considered 1 year or foundation year but there is no need for house job for usmle.
PLAB2 has 16 stations out of which u need to pass at least 10 stations also above average passing score.

BRO ! i Am studying in china !
is it necessary for me to clear NLE to participate in Plab ....
or i can apply For it Directly just after completing 1 year of internship program from china..
I think you can directly go from china afer completing internship from china. But you have to recheck this with your seniors who are done with the internship or doing internship.

How preprare for plab during mbbs bhaijaan I want to join ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS

Sir , my family doc's are saying that I can year 30 lacs per annum in india too . So will it be a good choice to go for USMLE ??
It depends upon whether you want to achieve excellence. There are more options to achieve excellence in US as compared to native country. They have some of the best minds who are teaching you and especially recent advances. Also you can always return back and practice, but you will be having more advantage then your peers.
@@HannanTayyab sir , I've listened that most of the residents feels lonely there and they can't adjust with American system . A guys like me who loves to be social with all , can survive there ?
@@PranayBrajabashi Yes there will be problems. But again the question remains the same how far you want to go with the excellence. Yes i do heard of that problem with loneliness.
You can also become a great doctor without doing usmle. It is not a necessity but only an additional thing if you want to pursue it.
Bai abroad countries sai mbbs karna hai is kai barai mai bataya Yaha pakistan kai private medical colleges mai fee bohat ziyada hai is kai barai mai bataya
if you really want to do mbbs abroad then make your mind to go straight for usmle.
But If you want to come back after mbbs to Pakistan there are multiple test which you have to pass. Also the policy regarding foreign students is susceptible to a rapid change . We don't know what policy we will face for the foreign students. Also you should note that either university which you are applying is recognized by PMC or not.
Sir mera name Arsalan hai. Mai India se hu lekin mai mbbs Kazakistan se kar raha hu kya mai plab de sakta hu please isper video banaye please
GMC has a list of recognized medical qualifications from various countries, including Kazakhstan. So, if your MBBS degree from Kazakhstan is recognized by the GMC, then you are eligible to take the PLAB.
