English test, PRES can be substituted with USMLE 1and 2, PLAB 1 and 2 AMC. (PRES level 2- like plab 1, . 320Euro, PRES 3 (interpretation exam). LABS/ECG/XRAY etc, PRES 3 CLINICAL- like PLAB 2. ). All exams must be done in Dublin.
@@drcissyatwine thank you dear. I am just curious about their specialisation opportunities. I want to be a surgeon and not willing to give that up. Should I complete my surgical residency training here in Ghana then move to Ireland ( after mrcs and fellowship exams in UK) to work as a surgeon, or its better to do the PLABs and move to Ireland and work on specialisation there... ( what are the chances of getting a surgical training post)
I even rendered a 25 hours duty while having a high grade fever because we don't have someone to cover for me. Yours are still better, it's more worst in Philippines 😂
Thank you, Cissy.... what's with this new background 😂😂. Irish tourism visa is kinda difficult to get I hear, ( Am yet to apply for a vist visa there), so the exams being conducted in Dublin makes it kinda difficult I presume.
Do they consider CGPA to work in EU countries. Am waiting for my internship, but currently thinking of relocating to work abroad. Thanks for the wonderful information!
For 37 hours/week, how many hours of duty should you rendered? I am fine with it. In Philippines 40 hours a week and sometimes more and you don't get over time pay. 😢😢😢😢😢 Health care workers aren't given importance here, mostly neglected.
1- its upto you.. i think both are accepted. 2. i dont remember but i must have mentioned it in the video or its on the official irish medical council website linked in the description
after passing all the PRES exams, or if you are exempted from them, through PLAB. what next ? how to apply for specialty training programs ? and where to find the available spots ?
The exemption for the exams for mentioned countries- if you have your internship after 2008 Dec . My internship year start June 2008 to June 2009. You think I am exempt ?
Hello !! First thank you for this video. i would like to ask you, I study medicine in Romania and I am planning to do my internship in Ireland, since my diploma is from the UE can I come to Ireland without having to pass the exams ? I’m also planning to do a final stage at the end of my years here so I will be exempted of the 2 y of general internship there so I will be able to directly start my specialization there, what do you think?
As far as i know physician associates in the Uk do a bachelors degree in the uk yet physician's assistants in Uganda for instance do a diploma. So they are not comparable and they would have better luck if they get more qualifications
@@drcissyatwine Please I am from Ghana and physician assistants in Ghana do a bachelor' s degree in Ghana also ... Please do you think going through the educational credential assessment unit of the UK will be of help to a Ghanaian physician assistant .
oH that's interesting then there's more hope for you.. i really dont know the process but sounds like it might be the way other alllied health professionals can. it was discussed in this video th-cam.com/video/ZuvG9uBk0Ys/w-d-xo.html @@healthtube4051
The countries which you mentioned are exempt from giving this exam (pres exam) are still the same or changed.Can you show me the website where i can check it
Hello Cissy. Please I have a UK GMC registration and have worked in UK as an RMO under NES. Currently UK sucks for me and I would like to know whether my UK license exempts me from Ireland medical council exams and how do I go about it.
yes it does.. i dont remember everything i said in this video as it was done ages ago but all the information i shared was from the irish medical council website also linked above. all te best
If I as an IMG take one year of working experience in the UK (foundation year) then apply to ireland with it will it be accepted or do i have to do the exam? Also what about plab do they accept it?
Hi Doctor Cissy ,do you need a practice licence from your home country to write PRESS exam and start practicing or you just need your medical degree to from your home country
Hello, great video, I am an IMG from India and have completed AMC part 1, and i have been thinking about going for PRES 3, i wanna know how are the job opportunities for junior doctors? I have completed my MBBS and wanna get specialist training from there. Any advice?
@@cipher6566 Hey thanks for the response. 37 hrs a week is fair enough imo. Have u noticed British trained consultant doctors moving to Ireland? Also any idea about how the situation is for psychiatrist consultant level doctors in Ireland? Thanks.
Someone who graduated from EU country with and IELTS 8 or above in each skill doesn't need to sit any exams? just register with their medical counsel and find a Basic Specialist Training and go there? seems too good to be true!😂
Hey Doctor, thank you so much for your channel…. Does that doctor from South Africa have TH-cam channel or maybe an email, I’m a South African… I’m sitting for my OET tomorrow with intentions of going to Ireland… I would appreciate guidance hence I’m asking
sorry.. the person doesn't have a TH-cam channel and i don't have their consent to share their email. Good luck in your exam. You're already on the right track to where you want to go.. you'll get there 😄
