Hi there! I was looking for a video that summarizes the USMLE and UKMLA as these were what were discussed in my class as an option to apply through to practice in those respective countries. We discussed the Canadian and Australian options as well. I only realized halfway through this video that it’s a year old and was surprised as to how much has changed over the span of 1 year with these medical licensing exams. USMLE step 1 is now a pass/fail exam and there is a UKMLA which will be introduced a year before I graduate. Still, this was an informative video but will try and find a more comprehensive video on the exam contents for both in due time. Thank you ✨.
No one should consider coming to the UK, with this current economical situation. People here are having to decide whether to have heating or have meals. 😢
I'm a bit confused, I understood in your video that there are specialties in which you don't need to present MRCP? I am interested in doing anesthesiology in the UK but I don't know if I have to present MRCP after PLAB
MRCP is not needed for anaesthetics. MRCP is suitable for senior doctors who wants to pursue the higher medical specialties like gastroenterology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, renal medicine, respiratory etc. MRCP is not needed for other specialties like surgery, paediatrics, psychiatry, general practice, anaesthetics, radiology etc.
Yes, but only if you want to specialise in one of the medical specialties like cardio, resp, derm. If you want to specialise in surgery, paediatrics, general practice etc you do not need the MRCP. You will need to do the other pg exams like mrcs, mrcog, mrcpaeds. So it is not worth doing the MRCP.
Dr.Lavnya, Very nicely explained video. Need your advice for my daughter. She is finishing MS Anaesthesia in 2 months from Delhi. She is a US citizen. She doesn"t want to do residency again to practice in USA. 1..Is there any way of getting residency waiver for USA ? 2. Which country is ideally suited for her specialization, to go by mere taking a licensing exam only, and not doing the residency? 3. Any fellowship you could suggest to her for her specialisation, which is in demand now and well paying, and the country? Will appreciate your sincere advice.
***** Cost of USMLE & PLAB mentioned in the video is not accurate**** THESE ARE THE CURRENT FEES (MARCH 2020) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mfHCNbPbDJc.html Step 1 is $645 (local) $965 (international) Step 2 CK $645 (local) $965 (international) Step 2 Clinical skills $1,300 (local) $1600 (international) Step 3 $895 PLAB 1 $298 £239 PLAB 2 $1071 £860
Hi Lavnya, First of all let me congratulate you for this excellent video. I have few doubts, kindly help me in clearing those. Firstly, how to get into specialty training after PLAB? Is there some selection criteria? If yes, then is it your MBBS marks for or some selection criteria related to FY2 or something else like say research work etc.. Secondly, how difficult is the selection criteria for paediatrics ? Thirdly and most importantly, what I want to know is after clearing PLAB, can I certainly getting into a specialty training of my choice, unlike the type of uncertainty we get to see in USMLE. Thanking you in anticipation.
After PLAB and GMC registration, apply for FY2 jobs in the UK. After FY2, you can apply for specialty training in your desired specialty. The selection into specialty training will depend on you CV/portfolio and interview performance.
@@lavnya70 I am sorry to disturb you again. "The selection into specialty training will depend on your CV/portfolio" what actually a good CV requires? Is it my marks in medical under graduate studies or it require something else. Secondly, After clearing PLAB, gettting a FY2 jobs is it very difficult?
@@monalisasarma3834 No, marks are not counted. Getting a job after PLAB, it not difficult in my opinion. 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. To enhance you CV/portfolio- Do audits, quality improvement projects, posters, presentations, attend courses related to the specialty you want to pursue. You can work on your CV/portfolio during FY2.
Thank you so much for all those informations ❤️ Plz Can you do another video ??? and tolk more about how to go frome working in uk (After getting the plab ) to a speciality ?????
Great video, Lavnya❤! I am an intern right now in India and am appearing for plab this year. I wanted to know how difficult is it to enter into dermatology programmes in UK for IMGs? And what things would help me to get a dermat specialization after doing plab and 6-12 months of work there?
Hi, well done. Dermatology can be quite competitive. You need to have a good cv/portfolio and do well in the interview. To have a good portfolio, try to do audits, quality improvement projects, papers, posters, presentations related to dermatology. You can also do this during the 6-12 months work in the UK.
@@lavnya70 Thankyou so much! Is dermatology also 7 years course after doing mrcp ? Also, will the projects and posters done here in India during my internship would count during interviews there?
@@AC-bf4oh Hi, dermatology is 7 years after FY2. After FY2, apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). After IMT, apply for dermatology training (4 years). You need to sit for the MRCP during IMT.
Have you done dermatology training in another country or have prior experience in dermatology? Pathway for dermatology after FY2 - After FY2, apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (2 years). After IMT, apply for higher speciatly training in dermatology (5 years).
Hi dr lavania ..i.wana to know if a person is old graduate and have gap of 5 years working in Saudi Arabia in PHC in between he had a gap of 5 years where he was working in his own town as GP which u know cannot have record now he had passed mrcp exam.. would hw able to get a chance of getting enrolled in cardiology. ..by GMC.. 2nd point is their any age limit..to get in residency programe
Yes, as you have completed MRCP- you can be registered with the GMC. With regards to specialty training in the UK- there is no age limit. As long as you are interested in that specialty and have a good cv/portfolio- you should have a chance of getting in. Have you done all/part of cardiology specilaty/pg training? If you have done pg in cardiology previously- you could try and enter the specialist register via the cesr route.
Hi! Thank you for your video. Very helpful. But I still have some questions. I'm an IMG graduated in 2010 in Ukraine. I have a surgery and clinical oncology trainings and practicing oncology in Russia currently. I also passe USMLE Step 1 and 2 (CK+CS), but no Step 3. Do I have any opportunities in UK or do I have to take PLAB?
If you did MBBS outside the UK/EU, you need to register with the GMC. To register with the GMC you can do PLAB or one of the UK specialty exams like MRCP/MRCS/MRCOG/MRCPCH etc. PLAB is suitable for newly qualified doctors and the UK specialty exams will be suitable for more senior doctors.
@@napulse Ok, you will need to take MRCP eventually. But if you are a newly qualified doctor, best to take PLAB. MRCP is normally taken during internal medicine training (IMT).
Hey! Amazing video. My question is once you get your GMC reg, and start an non specilaity job in UK. Whats the path from then onwards to getting into a specialty training like? Especially from IMGs
Hi, during the non-training post, work towards obtaining the (foundation achievement of competence document) (FACD). Also, use that time to prepare for specialty training applications eg portfolio, audits, quality improvement projects, posters, presentations etc. Once you have obtained the FACD, you can apply for specialty training.
Awesome video! I am in 2nd year MBBS from India. I wanted to know if these are equivalent to the indian counterparts? FY2= Internship? ST 1/2/3= MS/MD? ST 4/5/6/ = M.Ch?
Hey Doc 👩⚕️ , nice to see you with a very informative topic. I have one thing to ask that how hard to get radiology residency in uk and whats the pathway to follow ?
Heyy, like I said, I m doing my MBBS in India. I guess you might have heard about the Indian licensing exam "NEXT" comprising of 2 parts. So, should I write the Indian exam before attempting PLAB?
Thanks for the insightful video Dr.Lavnya 😄 You mentioned that we don’t need MRCP if we want to become a GP. So do I need to finish my foundation years alone and start practising as a GP? Would you please tell me what I should do to pursue internal medicine? Is it the same as what you call a GP?
Hi, GP is a specialty on its own. After foundation programme, you can apply for GP specialty training directly (3 years). Internal medicine is a different specialty. After FY2, you can apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). During IMT you need to do MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, you can apply for higher medical specialty training like cardio, resp, derm, gastro etc.
Hi lanvya! Great video as always. Wanted to know how good are job prospects(training/non training) in UK for Indian (paeds) doctor with MRCPCH ? Just completed my post graduation in India. Thanks
Hi, there is a shortage of doctors in UK so there are always job vacancies. Since you have done MRCPCH- you should be able to apply for GMC registration. Since you have done specialty training/pg in India- you can become a paediatric consultant in UK via the CESR route. So you do not have to retrain or do specialty training/pg in UK. You can find more information about the CESR route here www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/certificate-eligibility-specialist-registration-cesr. Hope this helps. All the best.
Hello, thanks for your good explanation. I want to pass PLAB exam. Would you please suggest me some books for me which may cover all the topics. I hope we will get more beautiful videos next from you. Thanks
Hi, thank you. I didn't do the PLAB exam myself, so I can't really give you the best suggestions for the exam. Sorry. All the best for the PLAB anyway.
Hi! I am an MBBS graduate from India, planning on pursuing a post graduation in Pediatrics. How do you think I should proceed? PLAB route or MRCP route..? Btw, really helpful video; kudos!!
Hi, thank you. Well done. If you want to pursue paediatrics, you do not need to do MRCP. PLAB will be enough. MRCP is only necessary for the medical specialties like cardiology, resp, gastro, derm etc.
@@pihuk7626 You will need MRCP to pursue neurology. However, MRCP is normally done during internal medicine training IMT (2-3 years). If you are a newly qualified doctor, best to do PLAB. MRCP is normally done by more senior doctors. Pathway for neurology for IMGs- After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (2-3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in neurology (4-5 years).
@@lavnya70 mam is IMT equivalent to Md/ms in India ? If anyone wants to come back India after IMT can he comes back without clearing MRCP ? & If he comes back to India can he works in govt . Hospital ? If he can then he will work as a simple mbbs doctor or MD/MS doctor?
Hi guys, im a cardiology spreg. In germany, want to move after declaring my board exam next year to become a interventional cardiology consultant. What r my chances to get a post in a good hospital/ uni hospital in uk? Does brexit could affect the GMC registration and EU dr specialist mutual recognition? Many thanx
Hi, well done for completing cardiology specialty training. Currently, EU doctors are free to work in the UK. It might change after Brexit. There is still a shortage of doctors/specialist in UK so you should be able to get a job in a good hospital regardless of Brexit. I am pretty sure that EU specialty training/postgraduate training is recognised in UK. Do check with the GMC before applying.
Hi Lavnya, thanx for ur msg, based on the information from gmc, eu specialist s r eligible for CESR due to mutual recognition of eu qualification. How can i please apply for a fellowship? Is there a universal application or should i apply for each hospital individually? Many thanx
Hi, excellent video. I was just wondering, when you say that with the MRCP you can practice in UK without the PLAB, you mean after having done all parts of MRCP + PACES? Or is it that you can do only part 1 MRCP and still be eligible?
Hi, what specialty do you want to pursue in the UK? You can do both but MRCP is a lot harder. MRCP is mainly for the medical specialties like dermatology, cardiology, respiratory etc.
Okay mam. so if want to get a job as a physician which one would be a better option . And will they consider my degree there if I have cleared the exam

Nice video Dr. An indian graduate after MRCP can get into medical oncology in UK?? Do we need to take any entrance exam for that?? How about the remuneration during the residency period, I heard that it is bit less in UK when compared to USA. Even the overall salaries for doctors??
Thank you so much for making this video. I had a question After clearing plan one when we apply for plab 2 and if by chance we fail in the first attempt are we allowed to try once again without paying anymore exam fees. Like for second attempt in plab 2 should be pay the fees of plan 2 again
Hi, do check out my latest video on PLAB ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-87lceQTS6m0.html. Hopefully it will answer some of your queries.
I think it’s very important to stress that a people in Trust grade jobs find it difficult to get a ticket to a training post in the UK there are many who have applied to training jobs many times and have failed to obtain a place The training places are limited and the img finds they are in a similar situation to the omega applying for residency in the US
Yes, I agree. Specialty training is competive. It has been difficult for IMGs in view of resident labour market testing as well. However, recently all doctors jobs (all specialties) was put on the shortage of occupation list. I hope this means that there won't be resident labour market testing for IMGs appying for specialty training.
Yes, but it is competitive. Do check out this video- Competition ratio for specialty training ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fAftIp8z20E.html

Hi, specialty exams are normally taken while doing the respected specialty training programme. For example, MRCP is taken during internal medicine training IMT (3 years). MRCS is take during core surgical training. After PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs here in the UK. After FY2 you can apply for specialty training in your desired specialty.

Hi Lavanya! I wanted to ask that after giving PLAB and working as an SHO, what other exams do I have to give for 1) Surgery 2) Obs 3) Ophtha 4) Psychiatry. Sorry, am a little confused, haven't really decided my final stream yet. Thanks!
Hi, after PLAB and working as an SHO, you do not need any other exams prior to applying for further training. Take the time to decide on what specialty you want to do. Then apply for the specialties you want to do. No exams are required for the application. Once you are in the specialty training programme, you will be required to complete the specific exams for that specialty. (Surgery- MRCS, then FRCS), (OBS- MRCOG), Opthal (FRCOphth), Psychiatry (MRCPSY).
Yes, you can apply for IMT (internal medicine training) prior to passing MRCP. You are required to pass MRCP while doing internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). After IMT and passing MRCP- you then apply for specialty training- cardio, resp, rheum etc (4 years).
Hello Lavnya! Do you have an idea through which route an IMG could land a sas job to be able to apply for CESR? Which tests are required? Because i understood that all doctors applying for CESR do it while working in the UK, never overseas.. Thank you!

Hi, yes medical registrar in Uk is equivalent to a internal medicine resident. The salary for trust grade doctors depends on your grade. Newly qualified doctors was earn between 30-35 k. It is more than enough to live comfortably. Working hours are not too bad. 9-5 normal days. 9-9 on long days and nights. 9-21 day 21-9 night shift. You normally do 4 long days in a row. Long days are 12 hours. All hours are calculated and banded according to the new junior doctors contract.

@@jensmathew3193 The salary is about the same for training and non-training jobs. You are payed based on your grade and the hours you work. So not much variation. Ofcourse if you are in a higher grade or a doing more hours you are payed more.

You will need NHS/UK experience before applying for a specialty training here. After MBBS, PLAB and internship, most IMGs apply for a non-training post (SHO level) for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme.
