Hi, with mrcp exams done, do we still need to do core training or we go to sr1 directly?
Can we get gmc registration using FRCS ortho? I am a orthopedics consultant in my country and I dont want to start studying from the basics
Is it possible? And how different is it from the plab route or mrcs route?
Dr can u please tell me .. after fy2 , do we need to give Mrcp for getting into core training .. or it’s just by an interview one passes ???? Please tell me .. in uncoupled training there are 2 recruitment .. means 2 interviews or 2 mrcp .. and on the other hand in run through there is only one recruitment .. means one time mrcp or any interview ? Please guide me
So wouldn't it be a better route if I do my residency in a different country and then apply for MRCP? And if I do, do I have to work in that same department or can I proceed to specialise further?
For example, I do my internal medicine residency outside but I want to further specialise in nephrology. Can I train for nephrology or internal medicine again?
Please answer me cuz I am quite confused
Thanks
Hi abreez Thank you for the valuable content God bless you. Could you please clarify for me regarding my situation l am a training doctor in ophthalmology
. I have done ICO 1 , ICO 2 many years ago does it count towards anything.?
Is recommendation letter from an mrcp holder necessary for mrcp paces?
Hello ,
Is 2 years work experience in OG required to take mrcog 1 and get into a training program?
Is it advisable for a newly graduated student to do the MRCS and start at the F1 level in the UK?
Hello doctor
What a useful vedio,everything is short and sweet🌹.I’m preparing for MRCOG part 1.I’m having 4 years clinical experience in obstetrics and gynecology.so will it be worth in enter to journey to UK
Most Respected Good evening please guide me about MRCP speciality course training only campus Bas please
Thanks for everything u are doing.....I am currently 2nd year urology resident in Ethiopia, which pathway is the best for me, am left with 3 years to complete my residency
Hellow... I have a question to ask? Plz guide me regarding this.. If someone clears Mrcog part 2 in Pakistan and wants to have mandatory training there in UK, is it possible to practice there or get a training there after mrcog part 2.. like do we have GMC lisence to work their there after part 2 or we get lisence only after mrcog 3
Is it true that if I gain MRCP from outside the UK and attempt to the speciality training I will only get non-competitive specialities such as Geriatrics and Palliative care?
And if I get MRCP from outside the UK can I start my Internal Medicine part 1 training? Or I will have to enter the speciality training?
Doc, Is it required that I complete my one-year internship at a hospital affiliated with my university? Because of COVID-19 restrictions in China, Chinese medical students are required to complete their one-year internship in another country. The question now is whether GMC will deny our applications for plab. Please, shed some light on this. Thank you.
I have 3yrs experience in anaesthesia and critical care, also have have Mrcp 1 and 2, after PACES , am I eligible to apply for jobs in all medicine specialities?
Is it better for me to go for steps(usmle) or any of the MRC exams? for a two year old graduate
Hi I have a question does internship matters in UK? After doing plab 2 , should a person looks for internships in any hospital .? Does it impact your chances of jobs? Please answers my questions thanks . Or make a video on that
Can a person give MRCPCH with only being MBBS graduate and secure a job in NHS post that?
Is that too much of a tough task to accomplish?
Thank you for the valuable info that you guys provide in your videos and blog posts.
As you are aware there is serious shortage of Plab-1 places all around the world. I want to know is it a wise decision to pursue MRCP parts in this time till we get a place for plab-1? And also about gmc registration through MRCP, I have read that you have to pass all three parts to get gmc registration. If so can someone with no UK clinical experience pass PACES?
It would only make sense if you're already sure and committed to pursuing medicine as your specialty of choice. Passing these exams without experience may be difficult.
I am an IMG, currently working at Sri Lanka. I have done my internship after the graduation in 2013, as follow
1) Pediatric surgery - 6 months
2) Gynaecology and Obstetrics -6 months
After my internship I have worked as follow
1) Medical Office at Out patient department and Emergency department unit (2014-2016)
2) Medical officer of Health (community)( 2016-2018)
3)Medical officer at Renal transplant ICU and ward (2018-2020)
4)Medical officer at Covid ICU and ward (2018-2022)
In regard of acceptance of my internship, will my internship 12 months be accepted as valid or will my post intern/post graduate practice period accepted as valid?
If that so, what kind of document I should provide to prove my postgraduate practice?
Please answer my question mam. I’m an IMG with post graduate degree in anaesthesia in my country. Can I still get GMC registration if I clear EDAIC/EDIC/MRCP even if I fail to clear Plab
Is it applicable for me to do a mrcs ?
as I’ve one year experience in my country and i want to study ophthalmology? Plz😊
I want to apply for fy2 stand-alone next year and as you know there’s a problem in plab1 available seats
So my question is if i get full GMC registration through MRCS can i apply for fy2?
I wanna join training what am i supposed to do?! The steps

I know of a person who has finished MRCEM part B and wants to go to the uk , but can u pls tell me if we can get a gmc registration with the part B , not having finished part C?
You can if you meet the criteria to do so. We've discussed it here: th-cam.com/video/-gPDJmIfKsc/w-d-xo.html

hello ibreez maam is it possible that someone is overqualified for the ST1 post ? if not i would really want to start from the base
For which training path?
how about if am from uk and imG do need to do iets or oet thanks
It depends on where you graduated from, not your nationality.
So even if someone passed MRCP and got GMC registration, go through a core medical training program, eventually he or she need to clear the MRCP exam again during the course of the training?
No. It just needs to be done once.
Can I take part 1 MRCP without IELTS or it is necessary for registration prior to the exam, as it is in PLAB? Thanks a lot for your information
This has been discussed in the video.
My wife has done MRCP, and completed consultant training In Neurology ( FCPS Pakistan) what possible job position will she be able to get in UK . waiting for ur kind reply
Please see: th-cam.com/video/SJkSaQ5FApM/w-d-xo.html
I have completed my residency in MD DERMATOLOGY in my home country India. What would the best pathway for gmc registration ie MRCP OR PLAB ..please guide @road to UK
Same query
Hello, i am a surgeon in my country and i want to know if i can do the mrcs without doing the plab first. Could you guide me if that option is possible?
As mentioned in the video, you don't need to take both exams if you've completed MRCS.
Very good ameeen Subhanallaahh
😁😁
My take home message as an FMG:
PLAB -> FY2 standalone -> CT/IMT -> MRCP -> Speciality training
How long would this process take?
8-9 years probably
You don't have to do the standalone. IMT may be 2 or 3 years. Specialty training would be 4 years.
Hello, I graduated 6 years of bachelor degree and 2 yearsof internship. Am I eligible for MRCP or MRCS? If yes, which one I should take in order to join ansthesiology training , MRCP or MRCS?
Same question...
Hi ,
I did my medicine from Philippines , still preparing for the board exam in India .. and when I enquired about the plab exam It’s confusing and not getting exact pathway …
If I can contact you in mail kindly help out from this ..
Please check this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLXt2ODIQqEojM_7sX6qOyXXstF__CsWZO.html

Hi there,
After doing MRCP, are we eligible for joining cardiology training? If yes then what are the chances that we ll get it?
Please see: th-cam.com/video/5Vv6_LHIoAw/w-d-xo.html
I am doing my internship which will end in two months
really confused between plab and usmle
though I want to personally go through the plab pathway
few things holding me back are:
A.Is US lifestyle better to settle down with family also is the pay really high than the UK doctors?
B. Can my parents permanently live with me if I move to UK
as I heard the ADR visa is next to impossible to get?
it would be really nice of you to reply.
Thank you.
What if someone has already given ielts and then wants to give mrcs?in such case does tht person need to re answer ielts?
You would need IELTS for GMC registration. If it is still valid by the time you apply for registration, you won't need to retake it.
Meaning that whether PLAB or MRCP, one ends up starting from the same place in the UK, is that right?
It means you get registration both ways, but not that you necessarily 'start' the same way.
Will the reviews for plab be the same with UKMLA ?
Difficult to say! To date, there is no information on the cost of UKMLA but seeing how it is geared towards new graduates, one wouldn't expect it to be too different than PLAB.
I have taken TOEFL ibt exam, so can I take the PLAB 1 with that or I need to take IELTS?
TOEFL is not accepted. Please see: th-cam.com/video/Zv09PtVUeB4/w-d-xo.html
Hey great video! Could you explain competencies in a little more detail?
We've discussed it here: th-cam.com/video/Lr-ufHzD6WI/w-d-xo.html
How about UKMLA? When will they change PlAB to UKMLA?
Please see: th-cam.com/video/7qrzEG_vjQU/w-d-xo.html
Hello, i have a query, regarding plab and mrcp, if i hv completed my residency in dermatology in my home country, which would be the best option for me to get GMC registration and if i have completed both my residency as well as my mrcp, then, would i have to go for IMT or will i get directly ST3 trainning in dermatology as a registrar. Thank you...
Same query
Hello Dr Gautam,
Even I m contemplating to move to UK. We are in the same boat, I guess. Please message if you wish to get in touch.
You would need to prove your alternative core competency to join at an ST3 level. As is, if you've completed MRCP, you'd be eligible for GMC registration.
@@RoadToUK mam what is required to prove my competency???
Hello dear
Can you please tell me
Like for pediatrician mrcpch
What course for hematologist??????
MRCP
@@RoadToUK means mrcp for medicine and it covers the hematology too???????
With PLAB 1,PLAB 2 and MRCOG 1 can one start Residency program in O/G?
Yes, if other criteria are also met: roadtouk.com/training-in-uk/training-in-various-specialties/specialty-training-in-ob-gyn/
Hi doctor. I really wanted the PLAB than mrcpch. But getting seats will always be a hindrance of sitting for PLAB :(
Hopefully as the pandemic resolves this will improve!
@@RoadToUK yup. Thanks for the optimism. Looking forward to see ya'll soon.
Can someone do their post graduation after MBBS without plab I mean if someone wants to post graduation nd get registered with UK is it's possible? Thank in advance ❤️
Please see: th-cam.com/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/w-d-xo.html
I am MRCPCH, passed 2003, I haven’t GMC registration, do I need OET for applying GMC registration
Yes.
So if after graduating mbbs if i give mrcs then i can come and get training to become a surgeon.. right ???
Please see: th-cam.com/video/SXA5u-Tm60w/w-d-xo.html
Thank your very much for posting it. This video was much needed. If I complete my MS in home country and do mrcs will the selection chance decrease? I heard somewhere that your chance to work in nhs decreses after you complete your MS from home country.
No, there's nothing like that
Assalam o alikum
I’m 1st year general surgery student, which exam should I give! MRCP or MRCS?
Thank you ❤
Walaikum assalaam. Please see: th-cam.com/video/SXA5u-Tm60w/w-d-xo.html
Does Australia recognise mrcp?
We have no information related to Australia.
what about cardic surgry
What do you mean?
after mrcp ? do we have to enter a training pgm ?
No you don't have to if you don't want to
I'm a Pakistani doctor and I want to go to England via mrcp route... Do still I need to give plab? Or only mrcp is enough?
If you complete MRCP, you don't need to take PLAB.
Hey, can we give plab 2 before completing internship in India ?
You can but then you’ll have to do fy1 again in uk.
Yes but if it's in the middle of your internship, it would just cause an unnecessary gap
If i do post graduate. Would i have to clear plab for gmc.or only oet will be okay.
You'd have completed a post graduate exam, so if it is eligible for GMC registration then you don't need plab.
My 12th percentage is 70... does this cause any issues while doing plab???? Plz say i need to become surgeon in uk
Do we need 12 month medical training to write MRCP in UK ?
You need 12 months of experience post graduation. This can even be internship.
Hello what will the cost of PG or is it free after passing the exams
Please see: th-cam.com/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bMrGuTCKAPOLw-Hw
