    Loved this video. I was planning to use USMLE for GMC but the only thing that was stopping me was the duration of training required for Cardology, specifically for interventional and heart failure. As it turns out, the time required in both the US and UK is comparable (6 vs 6). I was searching youtube for any videos that might give me a practical approach towards my cardiology training goal. I can see all the effort that went into this video. So, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Can you please tell me, is it helpful completing MRCP part 1 or 2 before applying training or non training job? Do they make any difference? Or is it all the same?

    Hello dear Dr Ibrahim and Dr Ibreez and thanks for all the effort. I want to ask a question about the possible paths for someone who is already a consultant cardiologist in their home country to become a cardiologist in the UK? And is it possible for them to do advanced fellowships (interventional cardiology for instance) without having a Uk CCT in cardiology. Thanks and Allah bless you

    • @RoadToUK

      Your first concern would be about how you would get GMC registration. The rest can be looked into quite easily but the biggest hurdle would be registration itself.

    I have completed 2 years of general medicine residency and also done 2 years of general cardiology training, currently in 3rd year of cardiology training, can i get UK cardiology training if yes then will i have to start from year 1 or can i start from year 3 ?

      If you'd want to start cardiology training, you would need to first prove the alternative competencies. Otherwise you have to do internal medicine training in the UK.

    Hello, I'm a 1st year Post-Graduate in MS Orthopaedics. I plan to work as a doctor in the UK,after completing my PG in MS Orthopaedics. I have come across various routes of getting into the UK system to practice as a doctor(in my case a Orthopaedic surgeon)
    One such pathway is:
    CESR-CP
    Foundation Training
    Core Training
    Higher surgical training
    If all the criteria required by the GMC for an internship has been fulfilled by me, can I skip the foundation training for 12months, via this route to apply to become a consultant doctor starting from Core Training directly?
