[@aishalaghari8453]

It was really helpful. Is it possible to do 1 year housejob 3 years residency in pyschiatry and then attemp MRCPsych? Or it is necessary to have 2 years experience before 3 years residency?

[@fatimahaye2576]

This was a really helpful video thankyou so much.
My only question is what about the cpsp scholarship program can you please give information regarding that in future please

[@IMGsofNHS]

I am not sure if there is a CPSP sponsorship program in Psychiatry. If there is one, they can get you GMC registration as well. The best is to ask people in CPSP about that.

​@@IMGsofNHSan answer to the question asked by the lady below on the research aspect would be very much appreciated, thanks!😊

[@IMGsofNHS]

@onaolapo lawal research is not required to take MRCPsych.
MRCPsych requirements are all explained on RCPsych website.

[@IK-fg4gw]

Sir how many hours do psych docs work compare to GP and others?
I want a work life balance specialty as I struggle with mental health my self.
Please give me your two cents!
Thank you 🇵🇰

Is it true they say we have to publish lots of research papers and thesis before Casc ? Nd whats the probability that i can get through Mrcpsych without MD or DPM but just work experience in psychiatry department as medical officer under state government mental health programs.

[@onaolapolawal4952]

@IMGsofNHS I'll really appreciate an answer to this please.
Thanks!

[@IMGsofNHS]

There is no need to Publish research for CASC. Its not a requirement.
You don't need to be in MD to do MRCPsych, if you fulfil tge creteria to take that exam, you can
