Hello Mam, Wonderful Video.. Can you please make a video on speciality training in UK after MRCP in India. I've heard regarding core competencies which required to get signed in order to apply for speciality training. Also there are some controversy regarding whether Indian doctors signed core competencies are valid ? after one has done MD/DNB medicine. If not then how much time one has to spend in UK to get them signed by professional UK doctor? Mam, I'm a follower of your channel from start. You're doing a amazing job by making these informational videos. Ty!
Hi Pratish There is alternative core competency certificate that needs to be signed by a consultant. There are specific criteria for doctors who can sign this off for you.This is to prove that you are at par with the UK doctors who are also applying for specialty training. You would need at least 6 months to one year of NHS experience to get them signed off. I will be uploading a video on specialty training soon.
Hi maam..was a helpful video..! Maam can u make a video as on the pros and cons of imt from india (3yr structured program ) and joining st3 training in uk..! Thanking you in advance 🙂
Hi Jerry I have outlined the pros and cons towards the end of this video. Please watch this till the end. If you need more information do let me know. I will make a detailed video on this in future.
Greetings of the day ma'am, I just had a doubt whether its better to do PLAB and then do MRCP after mbbs from india, or its better to do MD from India and then MRCP which will be a smarter choice ? also considering the duration of these courses. Please Ma'am help.
It depends on which specialty you want to chose. Once you pass MRCP, PLAB will not add anything to it. Choose PLAB if you are unsure whether you want to do medicine or any other specialty.MD +MRCP will definitely be a better option if you want to do medicine.
Some of the institutes in India like MAX , Aster have started IMT training affiliated by JRCPTB. Is it advisable to join this IMT training in India if someone is aspiring to work in UK ?
Hi Dr. Aparajita, I am an OBG doctor from India and have cleared MRCOG Part 2 and preparing for MRCOG part 3. I will be moving to the UK soon on a dependent visa. I understand I can't apply for MTI jobs on a dependent visa. Could you please help me with what job options I will have based on status? Thanking you in advance!
Hi Dr Jodhani The MTI OBG pathway is slightly different from MTI Medicine. Irrespective of your visa status, you will not be eligible to apply for MTI once you are in the UK as it is mandatory for you to be in your home country for the entire duration if the MTI application process. If you are considering MTI, I would strongly suggest to stay in India during your application process. It is a common misconception that you cannot apply for MTI in a dependent visa. You can do so if are still in your home country. Alternatively, you may complete all parts of MRCOG and then get GMC registered to start working in the UK. All the best Aparajita
Thanks for the video. I am an Indian graduate working as a trust grade FY1 in Gen Med in the UK. I want to apply for IMT this November. I am doing a clinical audit and have done an ALS. Could you please guide me on how I can improve my chances of getting the training and how to prepare for the interviews? TIA
Hi Asim Please go through the IMT self assessment score breakup and then assess how much are you scoring in each category? Publication, teaching experience, leadership and commitment to specialty are the specific categories that you have to try and get maximum marks for. This is the link www.imtrecruitment.org.uk/recruitment-process/applying/application-scoring Competetion is getting tougher,so start working hard.All the best.
After completing core training of internal medicine in UK can i work as a consultant of internal medicine in UK?? I am confused that is core training of UK is equivalent to MD/MS of india?? Will I get a degree after completing core training in UK just like we do 3 years of MD/MS in india? Please reply mam ...I am from india... currently doing internship in india and planning to come UK for further studies ...
Greetings mam My friend had cleared mrcp2 and planning to give paces exam in UK .... Can you please tell us how can we get visa to appear in exam? And what are the chances to get exam seat in UK
Hi Meenakshi The candidate has to apply for a visit visa to appear for his exam. They can do that once they have received a confirmation for the exam. Presently, there are long waiting times for PACES in the UK. Also, it might be very overwhelming for an international doctor with no previous experience to take the exam in the UK.
Mam I just watched 3 parts of this topic by you ... I want to ask you if someone just clear the 3 part MRCP program , which can be done from India only ( is it so ? Some saying that it can be done ) does he/she become the member of royal College of physicians? Like they get degree or certificate? After MRCP you told to go for CCT training is it like super speciality training in India? After CCT doctors can apply for fellowship programs ? If someone wants to settle in India then should he go for MRCP just for the sake of fame as this doesn't add to the academic degrees in India
Hi Ayan 1. Correct. You get a degree titled MRCP which stands for Member of the royal college of physicians. You can be do all three parts from India. 2.Correct. CCT is like DM training in India. 3.Correct. If you want to settle in India you may not wish to do MRCP. But it is a very good exam. It polishes your clinical skills and makes you a better doctor.
Hi Karthik You would also need a license to work in the Middle East which is a separate exam. Additionally, your clinical experience so far would determine the level of your job ; MRCP will definitely give you a big boost.
Hi Ravish As long as you have clinical experience and have been gaining clincal competencies this should have a positive reflection. If you have long gaps, you may have to explain why you haven't been in clinical practice.
Thankyou Dr. Roy. Would it be possible for you to tell us about the similarities and differences between the training programme in the UK and India. I mean the actual medical training, not the fees and other non medical stuff. I have completed my mbbs from India. If I pursue PLAB followed by the IMT route, will I be able to return to India and practice medicine efficiently in India? I understand that on paper, MRCP is considered equal to MD medicine, but can someone trained in UK deal with the Indian population? IMT training in uk is only an initial training to get into speciality trainings. If I just get my CCT and return to India, I will be a consultant on paper. But will I have the required skills?
You have asked a very valid question. The UK training is structured to a large extent for the NHS. However, the practical hands on medicine is quite rigorous and there are many examples of doctors who have done their CCT from the UK and then gone back to India to practice. You will acquire the clinical skills undoubtedly but the patient population, behaviour patterns , and colleague support would be very different. So it is all about flexibility and adaptation to diverse cultures.
Madam...I have completed MS Ortho in India..Can I appear for MRCP and later pursue FRCP Cardiology in UK!!? Is it practically possible? Or should I have to stick with MRCS only as I have done MS Ortho? Please explain the possibility
Hi Depends on which speciality you want to pursue. Since you already have extensive experience in Orthopaedics, MRCS would be the natural choice. However, if you want to retrain in Medicine and Cardiology, you have to start at a much junior level i.e. F1/SHO which is similar to Internship of Housejob level and then retrain entirely in Medicine. Is there any specific reason why you are thinking of switiching?
Hey I'm doing mrcp from India under a sponsorship program, the sponsor says i will be able to work in uk after mrcp 1 as an sho , after mrcp 2 will that change or should I wait till completion of paces to work as clinical doctor
Hi Bristow Is this the MTI sponsorship programme? After MRCP part 1 you can work as a SHO. Your career progression will depend on your clinical experience and whether you have achieved the competencies required for the registrar level post while working as a SHO.
@@AceurMRCP what my sponsor says is that they provide mrcp training plus mba in South Wales University, could you elaborate on what competencies are required, because I am currently an MBBS graduate from India who is 3yrs out of med school, i have worked in cardiology for a yr and in emergency for 2yrs
Greetings of the day, Mam I am an Indian graduate with a post graduate degree in pharmacology ( 2022) and currently working as RMO at fortis hospital, delhi in neurology. I have also two years of experience post mbbs. I want to be in the IMT program at uk. Which pathway should I follow to get into IMT at the UK? Plab/MRCP? Is year of graduation is a concern?
Hi Ashwani For IMT, you can do either. MRCP will be a big boost as you are not expected to do MRCP before IMT, but if you can pass that would be great. PLAB is easier.
A MBBS graduate from India,after clearing speciality exam is eligible to apply for training posts in UK or he/she has to take plab route to get GMC registration?
For GMC registration you will need to take PLAB as a fresh MBBS graduate. You can also try the MTI route. th-cam.com/video/DUzk3_7KrSQ/w-d-xo.html Watch this video for more details on MTI.
Hi! I am also interested in internal medicine in the UK. Are we allowed to take a break of a few months after imt before joining a speciality like cardiology, hematology, neurology etc. Or is the break only for British citizens?
@@AceurMRCPIs this IMT training from india must be from any hospital OR specific hospital? & how UK medical board recognised our training competency in India equivalent to them(UK) ?
There is a slim chance of completing the whole MRCP directly after internship. Part one is more feasible. If you do manage to complete the MRCP, you still need appropriate clinical experience before going on to specialist training: you can't just "skip" that on the basis of having the MRCP.
I have 2 years experience in emergency in india. Can I work in middle East or Singapore just after clear PACES or will i have to complete foundation training and/or internal medicine stage 1 training?
