Good day.. I am writing a letter In behalf of someone, he is having a an issue in regards to his medical degree for the processing of MRCS.However, he paid already the amount of the examination fee. He already went to British council in Khobar Saudi Arabia and found out that he’s medical degree has having an issue but prior to that , the British council accpeted it before the deadline. In regards to this matter, he has given a time frame to fix the issue until June 17 this year. In addition to that, it takes long time to process due to the inconvenience aside from the work and he can’t be able to go back to Egypt right away. The money is a hard to earn and time consume in the processing for the exam is not that easy. The English version of medical degree information was mistaken and and the exam has been confirmed. I would like to find out if there is a refund for that or the rescheduling of the exam is a way better. Morever if there is other alternative options. Thank you for hearing me out.

After MRCS and GMC registration, you can apply for surgical fellowship jobs (non-training) in the UK. After that, you can apply for surgical training post. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme. You can find jobs on NHS jobs www.jobs.nhs.uk or use a recruitment agency. bdiresourcing.com. You can normally secure a job faster using a recruitment agency.

Hello maam very useful video! Just have a small doubt.. can i write directly mrcs without plab? So if qualified for mrcs do i need to start from core medical training or speciality training?
MRCS is a specialty exam normally done during core surgical training (2 years). It is best to take MRCS while having surgical experience. To enter higher surgical specialty training ST, you need BOTH- MRCS and Core surgical training (CST) (2 years). You can't skip CST if you have not done CST or done something similar before.
Hello ma'am , I have completed my mbbs from india . After completing mrcs & gmc registration what is the preferable route to take st 3 neurosurgery in uk ? Is there any need to do fy 1&2 ?
After GMC registration, Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme. After that, apply for ST3 neurosurgery. You don't need to do FY1 and FY2, but I would suggest that you do a trust grade non-training post prior to applying for specialty training.

@@suman7165 If you are a newly qualified doctor best to take PLAB. The UK specialty exams are normally taken while you are doing the training programme in that specialty.
Can mrcs part 1 exam be taken during fy1 and part 2 during Fy2. Or is 2 year core surgical training an eligibility criteria for mrcs, if taking that pathway
is it possible to runthrough speciality without completing fy2 & what are the chances to run through speciality after fy2 & how to do it ? would u plese explain? is foundation training same for who wants to be surgeon and medicine specialist? which one is more feasible ,Going through cst or run through ?
To enter specialty training (run-through and non-run-through) you need to complete FY2 or equivalent. The foundation training is the same for all specialties. Not all specialties have run-through pathways. So it depends on the specialty you want to pursue. For specialties that offer both, it would be best to take the run-through route as you only need to apply once.
Hii mam I heard from lot that it is very difficult to get CST without experience soo many people suggested to do MS gen surgery in india then try for mrcs ... Could you please tell ur opinion regarding is it better r trying through plab is better??
I have not worked in India, so not sure about the MS gen surgery there. But if you want to work and settle in the UK, it is best to come here as soon as possible and train in the UK.

@@hungrytummy3779Yes, internship overseas is accepted as long as it meets the GMC criteria. If you have completed an acceptable internship, you don't have to repeat FY1.

how long will it take,on average,to get a job in uk after the internship (that i did in a diff country) or FY1.lets assume to get a job for my FY2. Considering all application dates, plab,registrations and then finally acceptance,job interviews etc. Basically would i be able to get a job without having to waste alot of time for example even a year after my internship.

Thanks.

Heyy ! Awesome video! I wanted to ask if a girl with microtia (one sided hearing loss as well ) will have hard luck becoming a surgeon in uk ? Currently in Med school:)
I am not sure about this. Sorry.
Soo during our foundation year we can choose the department we wish to work in?
Yes you can rank your choices/rotations.

@@lavnya70 yeah I had already seen the vedio.its so informative.thanks for uploading vedio. ☺️
Hi Lavnya, videos u make r really informative, appreciate for it. Please guide me, currently I am working as consultant surgeon and having 8 years experience after PG at my home contry what r my chances to get surgery training jobs at UK after MRCS. Thanks in advance...
After MRCS and GMC registration, you can apply for surgical fellowship jobs (non-training) in the UK. After that, you can apply for surgical training post. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme. You can find jobs on NHS jobs www.jobs.nhs.uk or use a recruitment agency. bdiresourcing.com. You can normally secure a job faster using a recruitment agency.
@@lavnya70 thanks Lavnya, wish u good luck... 🙂👍
Mam after completing orthopedics residency in India and clearing MRCS. Can we get fellowships there in UK if we apply. And what about accommodation and stipend during the fellowship there in UK. Plz make a video on this mam or explain it briefly mam.
Yes you can. You can rent privately or take hospital accomodation. Most hospital accomodation are not free. You have to pay for it. You will receive a salary based on your grade.

Hello maam very useful video! Just have a small doubt.. can i write directly mrcs without plab? So if qualified for mrcs do i need to start from core medical training or speciality training?
MRCS is a specialty exam normally done during core surgical training (2 years). It is best to take MRCS while having surgical experience. To enter higher surgical specialty training ST, you need BOTH- MRCS and Core surgical training (CST) (2 years). You can't skip CST if you have not done CST or done something similar before.
Almost 10k sub😎😎😎
If we do a non-training job after FY2 will it be useful for getting a training Job considering that we have work experience???
Doing FY2 should be enough. But you can consider doing a non-training post after FY2 if you feel you need more time to prepare your CV/portfolio.
@@lavnya70 Thank you so much mam
Hi can I skip the foundation training and do the core?
Hello ma'am , I have completed my mbbs from india . After completing mrcs & gmc registration what is the preferable route to take st 3 neurosurgery in uk ? Is there any need to do fy 1&2 ?
After GMC registration, Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme. After that, apply for ST3 neurosurgery. You don't need to do FY1 and FY2, but I would suggest that you do a trust grade non-training post prior to applying for specialty training.
Thank you ma'am! Extremely helpful advice
Respected mam,How many years does it take to complete mrcs ?
What is the grade of the student studying mrcs after passing mrcs part a and b?
Does the students have to pay during mrcs study?
@@lsprayala607 MRCS is an exam. It is normally done during core surgical training CST (2 years). The grade will depend on your clinical experience, not just MRCS. If you have completed CST and MRCS, you will be able to apply for ST3 posts. Do check out this video on UK Doctors Grade and Titles th-cam.com/video/vAD0tsuwEF8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for your reply mam.

It is up to you. If you plan to work and settle in the UK, best to come here and train in the UK as soon as possible.
Hi I would like to ask you,
I'm an IMG..
-If I passed MRCS would this make me able to have full registration?
-would mrcs and some surgical attachment make me eligible and highly competent to have a seat in CST?
plz answer
Yes, you can use MRCS to obtain GMC registration. Yes it will improve your CV for CST applications.
@@lavnya70 thank you ma'am
So if the competition is high for CST what should be done so they prefer you to enrol in that programme ?

After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year) , apply for specialty training in paediatrics (8 years)
@@lavnya70 Thank u
Fy1 & Fy2 these 2 yrs training programs are on the basis of plab ? As junior House surgeon practicing in UK hospitals???? Am I ryt if not kindly correct me plz
Hi, so upon completion higher surgical training is there MS or MD certification? Or is it separate like applying to a university for MS or MD?
I don't think so. UK doctors don't normally do MS/MD to specialise and become a consultant. We do the specialty training programme. Do check out this video Specialty Training (Residency) in UK? th-cam.com/video/6hFJgU-psEE/w-d-xo.html
@@lavnya70 Thank you!
After going therough run through neurosurgery what will be the post ?
After completing run through neurosurgery training (8 years), you will be a consultant neurosurgeon in the UK.
Lavnya Balenderan that means we have to go thru mrcs /frcs ?
@@dhakalbishnu3901 Yes, you have to take the MRCS and FRCS during the 8 years.
Lavnya Balenderan how easy it is to get chance in surgery for img ?
And when to give exam at the begining of run through ?
Is CST a must or can we enter and apply for higher speciality training in UK with MRCS from outside UK
I am not sure about this. Sorry.
After finishing my ST training I can become a consultant surgeon? Or there will be more path to cross?
Yes, after completing specialty training, you will become a consultant.
maam please help 🙏🏻 i have a doubt:-
if i have completed my general surgery from my home country alonwith MRCS am i eligible to apply to ctvs afterwards ?
Hello doctor if we are working as juniour doctor for further post graduate (PG)what exam and what actually we have to do .
It will depend on the specialty you are pursuing. You have to take the specialty exam for field you are pursuing.
Lavnya Balenderan @ I am confuse that should i prepare for plab exam or for my post graduate which one will be better if i do plab then its may be easy for preparing for PG with in UK ? As you have done plab first may be you are also trying for Post graduate . Please share if you have good idea .thankyou
@@suman7165 If you are a newly qualified doctor best to take PLAB. The UK specialty exams are normally taken while you are doing the training programme in that specialty.
Do I have to take the plabs?
Can mrcs part 1 exam be taken during fy1 and part 2 during Fy2. Or is 2 year core surgical training an eligibility criteria for mrcs, if taking that pathway
I am not really sure. Best to check with the MRCS board about this.
is it possible to runthrough speciality without completing fy2 & what are the chances to run through speciality after fy2 & how to do it ? would u plese explain?
is foundation training same for who wants to be surgeon and medicine specialist?
which one is more feasible ,Going through cst or run through ?
To enter specialty training (run-through and non-run-through) you need to complete FY2 or equivalent.
The foundation training is the same for all specialties.
Not all specialties have run-through pathways. So it depends on the specialty you want to pursue. For specialties that offer both, it would be best to take the run-through route as you only need to apply once.
Can we enter into FY1 and FY2 without giving PLAB or any other such exam ?
Hii mam I heard from lot that it is very difficult to get CST without experience soo many people suggested to do MS gen surgery in india then try for mrcs ... Could you please tell ur opinion regarding is it better r trying through plab is better??
I have not worked in India, so not sure about the MS gen surgery there. But if you want to work and settle in the UK, it is best to come here as soon as possible and train in the UK.
@@lavnya70 thank you 😬😬
Hi doctor, I am an Indian pursuing my mbbs from China. I just want to know that if I had not done my internship from my home country but done from China and after passing plab what will be next? Fy1 or fy2? If Fy1 is it difficult to get into a hospital as an img?
My question is doing internship from China is enough or I have to do in my country(india)
@@hungrytummy3779Yes, internship overseas is accepted as long as it meets the GMC criteria. If you have completed an acceptable internship, you don't have to repeat FY1. You can proceed to apply for FY2 jobs. GMG internship www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/before-you-apply/check-if-your-practical-training-internship-is-acceptable
Hi! How about for an established practicing General Surgeon already in her home country, after MRCS and registration to GMC, can she already work in UK? thanks
Mam ,before core surgical training do we need to give any exam?
No.
I got 70 percentage in the 12th class.... does it cause any issues while doing pg in medicine (usmle, plab).....plz reply me plz ..
Can we skip plab and get registered with mrcs and get a job and apply for cst?
how long will it take,on average,to get a job in uk after the internship (that i did in a diff country) or FY1.lets assume to get a job for my FY2. Considering all application dates, plab,registrations and then finally acceptance,job interviews etc. Basically would i be able to get a job without having to waste alot of time for example even a year after my internship. Sry if this is too much to ask, i havent even started medical school but i am bit concerned about my future so thats why.
It honestly depends on when you take PLAB, when you start the application, when you attend the interview. It can take anywhere between 1-2 years.
Hi lavanya
Namashkar
I just want to know is there an age cut off point to apply for surgical fellowship?
Someone doing residncy in surgry can do MRCP??
Do you mean MRCS? MRCP is for the medical specialties. It is not required for the surgical specialties. MRCS is for surgery.
Hi, could you please clarify if IMGs are encouraged for MRCS in UK? Heard its difficult for IMGs to become surgeon in UK.
