Hello
i have a question that is very specific and i am not sure if there is already any available info about it, for the foundation program English proficiency requirement, will UKMLA replace that 7.5 in ilets/ 400 OET requirement? I would appreciate it if you have any insight about it
Great
☺️
Ur videos are so helpful always ❤❤
Glad to hear that :)
thank you very much . but about the gmc registration through mrcs pathway ; would you mind placing the link so that i can explore more about this issue . thanks in advance .
It's just an application via the post-graduate pathway.
I suspect it will still only be Manchester for international medical graduates.
*UK* medical students will be taking the MLA as part of their degree at their own medical school. Also the OSCE part will AFAICT have local variations. I suspect that for international students the MLA will basically the same as PLAB as now, just with a new name.
👍🏻
Please make a video on route to hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery in NHS.
👍🏻
Great,this video will help to overcome confusion.
Thanks for saying so!
Do you expect the UKMLA part 1to include basic sciences in the way that USMLE step 1 does? From what I know, PLAB 1 focuses on clinical and practical aspects of medicine.
Reviewing basic sciences all over again would be the most taxing and boring :(
thats what made me decide that plab was better than any other exam its because it focuses on clinical cases and not borning and tiring content of the first and second year of medical college
GMC has been testing UKMLA esque questions in the PLAB exams for some time now, so one would think it would be along the same lines.
Hello doctors! Can I get some info on how to bring your family to the uk. I'm specifically talking about parents as the time in the uk is not a short stay. If you have a video or article already on that, it would be immensely appreciated.
Please see: roadto.uk/ymR9
Hey, can you let me know why one should prefer ukmla over usmle for residency? And if someone wants to become a surgeon what are the chances that the person will get into surgery residency such as neurosurgery? What about Dermatology too?
Hi there ! I have been watching many of your videos and trust me you are an angel for people who wish to come and work in UK . I am a Neurologist working in India , what are the scopes of me getting into a specialist job there in UK ? And if I could is it through the MRCP route or anything else ? Do you also give online career consultations ? I Don’t mind paying for all the info . Thanks a lot .

Hello doctor being a resident in cardiology in home country
What route can be undertaken to move to the uk after training here in my home country ? Can I apply at ST3 in cardiology after my training here?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/5Vv6_LHIoAw/видео.html
You are such a confident speaker
Please i have some question please , asking from nigeria i am currently in my finals hoping to graduate may 2023
So my initial plan was to wrote ielts by august 2023 then i shaAllah hopefully wrote plab 1 nov same 2023 and then hope for plab 2 afterwards maybe early 2024
With this new change on ground is this plan still feasible ?
I just have one question 🙋 The competition is rising fiercely in The UK as well. Is there a possibility that getting into non training posts/FY2 posts or getting into Specialty Training is going to be harder for IMGs once the UKMLA is introduced? Is there a probability that The UK might close it's doors for IMGs in the near future?
No one can predict the future, but personally we believe it will just level the playing field even more. IMGs have been used to these types of exams for years but local graduates have never had to take them.
Probably more doors opening
💜💜💜
💞
As both national and international students are gonna appear in it, wouldn’t it make it unrealistic for there own students to find a suitable slot, moreover if they reserve some seats for there students it would be more difficult for img
Thank you for the video
Since both IMGs and UK Graduates are taking the exams, will it become more competitive than it used to be and do you think it will make specialty training more difficult for IMGs
Nope, don't feel like it will be a huge change.
Hello, thanks for the video. I will graduate in July 2023 and only then will I be able to become a member of GMC. In this case, I don't have a chance to enter the PLABs, right?
If you find a PLAB 1 seat before the end of the year, then you'd still be fine.
I have tow questions
I am currently studying in english program of semmelweis university, do I still need any english language certificate?
2nd question is , I’ll be graduated in April of 2024, by then which exam should I take ?
My question is can you write the UKMLA while still in medical school like the USMLE or you will have to finish medical school before you are able to write it? thanks
As yet GMC has not clarified this point.
will the preparation for PLAB and UKMLA be same? Say, I take seat for plan in 2023, but if I fail, I'm not getting chance to sit for PLAB anymore since they're opening seats only once a year now. Thoughts?
It's hard to say until GMC releases something definitive.
hello,i did my mbbs in 2001.afterwards my inlaws didnt let me do anything is it possible for me to start my career again in uk any possible way plz help me.if i can do some mcps diploma in pk and then try for plab or something else.also would it b possible for me to pass plb2 without any uk experience
Hii please are there schools or academy in the uk that prepare imgs for plab 1 and 2
Is there any recent updates about ukmla? Anything important regarding preparation?
Check the GMC site
how can we prepare for UKMLA .. is the study materials same as PLAB ?
No information as been released yet.
im really in between UK and Germany ? which should i do my specialty training in as my goal is to do Cardiology
We can't speak for Germany, but the cardiology pathway for the UK has been explained here: ruclips.net/video/5Vv6_LHIoAw/видео.html
@@RoadToUK thank you!
Thank you so much,,, your videos are very much useful..... I just wanted to know....To enter core training for surgery.... What are the criteria or exams or any other requirements I need to concentrate...
Please see: ruclips.net/video/SXA5u-Tm60w/видео.html
@@RoadToUK thank u 👍👍👍
The competition of ukmla is gonna be insane! Just like usmle
Competition how? Score doesn't matter.
Hi pleaseee reply i am confused that was so helpful please can you make a video about the postgraduate route and the different types of masters because I don’t understand it and it I took the masters from the uk can I apply for a training job after and regarding the masters itself it is in the form of exam only or we actually take classes and thanks pleasssseee reply

Hey, I am a med student in Philippines, here the med school is of 4yrs, kind of united state system. So, can I take plab1 during my 4th year of clerkship?
Mam Can u please answer this question?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/iRTJu1rB3Io/видео.html
Thankyou Love from Pakistan
😊
Hello! Please, i dont understand the difference between UKMLA and post-graduation route??
Please see: ruclips.net/video/AK67jq4LAAo/видео.html
I have done my mbbs from pakistan. Im attracted to gynae/obs for my speciality. Can u tell me plz is MRCOG and plab are the same roads or different one. And plz guide me what should i go for??
You can only take MRCOG if you are in an ob/gyn training (even if in your country).
Just had a doubt, cause I am currently in my 2nd yr of Med school from Romania so are we exempted from UKMLA?
GMC haven't updated regarding that and UKMLA.
I'll graduate in may 2024 does that mean i can take ukmla ? I'm an EU medical graduate ATM EU graduate don't require any exam i just dunno how to prepare
Currently GMC have not clarified if EU/EEA will need UKMLA so it remains to be seen!
What about those who are already doing plab? Or planning to do plab in this year or upcoming next year ? What should we do?
Continue as you are.
I am currently studying in final year of my MBBS and after that I have internship left to do.So can I attempt for PLAB 1 during my internship or is there a rule too give PLAB exam after completing internship in ur home country
It would be dependent on whether or not you have a pre-graduate internship.
Is UKMLA first test held in Pakistan?plz also guide upload video on fee regarding tests!as soon as possible.Jazakallah
The information provided in this video is all that is currently known about UKMLA.
Will the shift to ukmla make the syllabus more like the usmle I.e. focused on basic sciences or will it still have the clinical nature of plab
You can have an idea from the UKMLA blueprint: www.gmc-uk.org/education/medical-licensing-assessment/mla-content-map
Hey, can we write UKMLA without a license from any other country but a MD degree from a college?
Yes
Can you tell us how can IMG speak fluently like you? Thank you
Sure, we can make a video on it :)
Hello Ma'am. I need to ask whether one need home country license before applying for UKMLA. Kindly reply. Thank you!
No.
How many points out of 100 we should take to be able to win an internship in the UK ?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/-LDAhj_XKVE/видео.html
Will USMLE step 1 and step 2 pass still be considered sufficient for GMC registration?
I had the same question !?
Only if you finished them before a certain date (I forgot when it was).
Basically, they would accept it if you've taken the Step 2 CS, which has been removed from the USMLE pathway about a year ago.
Please see: roadto.uk/vgol
@@RoadToUK sorry to bother you again but if a person wants to apply for GMC registration after UKMLA has been implemented will USMLE pass status be considered for it or will they have to take UKMLA all over again?
@@abdulazeez.98 so a person who graduates in 2025 with step 1 and step 2 ck pass status along with OET will not be eligible for gmc registration without having taken UKMLA?
Thank you so much for such a precise explanation. ❤️
I have a question. I've passed my final medical exam recently. I'm on the way to start my english proficiency test preparation. Is it mandatory to pass OET for Ukmla/plab? Or ielts score would work too? Since I have decided that if I don't pass ukmla/plab then i'll go for msc and for that I'll need ielts(as far as ik☹️). So it's quite tough to sit for two english proficiency test. It would really be kind of you if you can enlighten me.🙏🏻
It can be either. Please also see: ruclips.net/video/Zv09PtVUeB4/видео.html
Hi !dr ibreez i, want to know about supporting visa if one does plab and gets job in nhs can he or she call spouse in uk and spouse is holding non medical degrees he or she can get job ralted to non medical field is it allowed or not and if yess when can support his/her spouse are there some conditions or something else ?kindly answer my question.
Please see: ruclips.net/video/-yBCeUtL-es/видео.html
Will the study materials for PLAB and UKMLA be the same?
As yet there has been no released syllabus for UKMLA, so it's hard to say.
What will be the duration of the exam of UKMLA part 1?
What do you mean?
Hello I just have a doubt, so ukmla 1 and 2 will replace plab 1 and plab 2?
Yes exactly
What if I want to take admission in pg course after my mbbs from another country, do i still need to take UKMLA or i can go for MRCP after my pg
Please see: ruclips.net/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/видео.html
Can i use the same books for plab like plabable,plabkeys etc. For preparation of ukmle???
You can use our question bank :) ukmla.roadtouk.com
If someone is not able to pass PLAB 1 held in August can he/she apply for the November slot in the same year?
If it's available.
@@RoadToUK Thank you so much!
Will the marks of UKMLA is gonna matter in post graduation courses?
Nope!
When can I apply for ukmla...?
Do I have to finish my internship before taking on plab 1 exam?or I can sit for the exam just after the result of my final year MBBS?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/iRTJu1rB3Io/видео.html
The video says i need to graduate from medical school. Is it with internship or without?
I am confused
Assalamualikum ..
i have passed 4 years ago and working in a ingo right now..now want to move to uk but a little confused wheather i should start for oet or wait for another year and seat in directly ukmla?
its because i am afraid i have a long gap in studies so i need time for prepare myself along with my current job..
Walaikum assalaam. As is, there is a significant delay in exam dates, so you may be better off trying from now.

by 2024 PLAB won't be accepted for GMC registration?
This is discussed in the video
Can I take plab 1 without oet if I get in uk on my dependent visa based on my spouse?? Can I appear for plab 1 in uk after that??
No.
if i register for plab1 in nov 2023 , and if i couldn't pass , will i have to take ukmla in 2024 or i can still attmpt for plab by next year ?
I have the same question
You'd likely need UKMLA unless GMC says otherwise.
Hey ma'am i am from pakistan student of final year mbbs i will have my housejob completed in early 2024 inshaAllah...so would i appear in plab or ukmla?
I have the same question. And what if for example you sit for Plab 1 then UKLMA begins before you sit Plab 2 what happens? Do you start all over with UKLMA? Any idea what that will look like?
Please see: ruclips.net/video/7qrzEG_vjQU/видео.html
And i wants to know that from doing post graduation from UK what should i have to do
Please see: ruclips.net/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/видео.html
I had a question....
So it means that I can apply for plab 1 this year in last Aug/Sept and appear in the exam in 2023 if I get a seat????? Right? Cus UKMLA starts in 2024?
Yes.
As plab will no longer exist after 2024 but what happen to those who will take plab 1 in 2023?! Are they able to take plab 2 in 2024? Or will the plab 1 gonna be limited on upcoming year?
This has been discussed in the video.
@@RoadToUK They will continue their plab journey, got it..Thanks a ton for such those important information!!
Do medical graduate from European union countries like Romania, Poland, Hungary etc also need to give UKMLA exam?
Currently they do not need to take PLAB. GMC has not said if this will change for UKMLA.
@@RoadToUK do Russian medical diploma are treated equally in uk , because now due to war russia graduate might face problems because of so called sanction
sorry if this is a dumb question whats the post graduate route?
Not a dumb question! Please see: ruclips.net/video/OEWSOoTzI6Y/видео.html
Is it confirm that UKMLA will be started from beginning of 2024 and not 2023? Because one of my friends told me that it will start from 2023!
Currently GMC has stated it will begin from 2024.
Hi could u make a video on how NHS managed the Covid Pandemic. ? Ur Good n bad experiences. And how NHS is taking measures to further strengthen ?
We're really not in the position for such an assessment.
Hi thanks so much for uploading such an amazing video. Do u have any info about MLA AKT number of attempts ? If for instance someone failed plab 1 4 times and they'd need an additional attempt without going into postgraduation thingy, would they be able to apply via MLA AKT? THANKS AGAIN
Currently GMC has not released any information regarding this.
We will need to pass oet before giving part one of UKMLA ....?
Most likely
My MBBS will end in 2025 .
And will appear in that in 2026 after completing my house Job . I hope I am able to ace it and move to UK for specialisation.
Good luck!
Do EU graduates have to sit for the UKMLA exam
As per GMC, it just says UK and international doctors. There is no specific mention of EU doctors separately.
Is it possible for someone to sit plab and mrcp together?
Yes.
When should I start deciding and studying for UKMLA? I'm finishing my medical school in 2028
In the last two years or so of your medical schooling.
@@RoadToUK Thank you so much. I would definitely need your help in my pathway in sha allah. 🤎❤️

Thank you in advance

Please tell me if pass plab 1 before ukmla then what happen? I give osce exam or I will give again part 1
This is discussed in the video.
Apparently EEA medical students will not be taking the new exam
👍🏻
Will there be more competition & less students will pass?
It's hard to say! They've not said how they intend to regulate scoring.
