I honestly have looked into a hundred of videos for this regard and this by far is the best explanation i have come across. Thankyou so much !!
Thank you!
"After looking into detail I decided not to go for it , I said goodbye to my American dream"
Your story's almost similar as mine😭
Thank you. All the best.
Mine too...😭 hope I do my PLAB better
@@yogiariv All the best.
But why?
@lavnya why did you skip USMLE after 6 month preparation? Reason
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 ✨.
Thanks a lot .
One of the best resourceful videos . Simplified to its best .
Thank you.
Lavanya mam thank you soo much for making this video.
Please keep making more videos we all eagerly wait for your videos.
thank youu so much!!
thank u very much Lavnya , for making such must watch videos for every medicos around the world and specially for the INDIAN mbbs students❤❤
This the best person i've seen in terms of explanation ... and the response from her is for sure .... THANkS FOR THE HELP MA'AM
Thank you!
thnku so much for the info.it rilli helped
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.
@@lavnya70 Thank you so much for helping me with my question 💜
very clear and convenient
thank you very helpful information al the best
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.
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?
I am not familiar with the Indian exam. Sorry. I am not sure what to do first.
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??
Very nice . keep on doing till you cross 1 million subscriber. Your pronunciation is very nice.
Thank you.
Do we(indian citizens) need to pass plab if we study medicine in eu?
No, EU qualifications is recognised!
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
@@islamalsoudi7744 Hi, I think you need to apply to the hospital individually for a clinical fellowship post.
hi , nicely explained. for specialty like pathology which exam should be given for uk practise?
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.
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.
@@lavnya70 Thanks for the help:)
HI MAM I HAVE DONE DNB FAMILY MEDICINE FROM INDIA WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO MD MEDICINE IN INDIA. FOR UK DO I NEED TO DO MRCP OR PLAB
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
@@rupalisatija6482 Probably MRCP if you are thinking of going into the medical specialties like general medicine, derm, resp, cardio, endocrine etc.
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, thank you. You need to complete all the parts of MRCP to be eligible.
Hi, thank you so much, well explained. Can you please tell me , what's the place for consultant radiologists in UK.?
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?
Hi, thank you. I am not from India so I am not very familiar with the terms used there. Sorry.
@@lavnya70 no problem! Thanks for putting up such amazing videos and guiding people like me!
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.
@@lavnya70 thanks a lot for your guidance. Really appreciate it.
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 ?????
Hi yes hopefully soon. What specialty would you like to go into?
Hi lavanya just a quick question incase i try to persue both plab and mrcp simultaneously is it mandatory to pass plab first for gmc then even if i pass mrcp? I mean does gmc register me if i pass mrcp first or it becomes compulsory to pass plab if i have applied for it once.
Hi, you need to either complete PLAB or MRCP to apply for GMC registration. You don't need both.
But at end of the day after PLAB you must to MRCP in order to progress
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.
Lavnya Balenderan if I want urology I need just the plab or the MRCP ?
@@sofiamaldonado6737 first enter by plab exam ....then later alll
@@sofiamaldonado6737 y u so much confused...which country ur
Good work keep guiding Us
And kindly tell me i am 4th year medical student in Pakistan. Should i do house job in Pakistan or should give plab
It depends on where you want to work. If you want to work in the UK, do PLAB and apply for a foundation training (house job) here in UK.
Graduate. Do house job. Then PLAB 1
Lavnya Balenderan in Uk during foundation training they provide salary????
@@Queenofmotivaton yes
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 ruclips.net/video/87lceQTS6m0/видео.html. Hopefully it will answer some of your queries.
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, 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. CESR bdiresourcing.com/news/2018/06/a-guide-to-cesr/130

Looking so beautiful ______Miss Dr
Thank u!
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.
Lavnya Balenderan Thanks so much for the clarification ma’am! 😄 I was getting confused between the two!
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.
@@lavnya70 hi what about Neurologist? Should I proceed MRCP or PLAB?
@@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 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.
Doc thks for your help and what i want to ask is,did our cGPA on our transcipt and Grade during our medical school matter that much as long as we pass the plab 1 and also with good plab 2 and oet,how is likely our chance for GMC matching and how about also in case of usmle,thks again.
Hi, I explain the significance of the PLAB results in this video - PLAB exam guide ruclips.net/video/87lceQTS6m0/видео.html
Hello mam !! Can you please tell me that is it necessary to give mrcp for specialization training after passing plab test? Or we just have to apply for GMC registration?
After watching this vedio, I am gonna say good bye to MBBS.
Because it's too much long process. Can't wait.

Thanks for explaining those things..I am interventional cardiologist in Iraq.. please could you advise me how to make registration in GMC then to work in UK as interventional cardiologist..is Plap enough for doing that..best regards regards
Hi, to register with the GMC you can do PLAB or one of the UK specialty exams like MRCP/MRCS/MRCOG etc. As you are already a specialist, it might be better to do MRCP. Do check out BDI resourcing. They help international doctors secure a job in the UK. bdiresourcing.com
So that means in order to apply for internal medicine fellowship we have to pass mrcp right? And is it possible for us to apply for specialist training after a non-training job?
Hello! From what i understood if we want to specialize in obs/gyn we need to take the plab exam. After plab do we work as a non-training doctor and then star to train to be a obs/gyn specialist? Thank you for the informative video!
Yes. 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 completing a non-training post SHO/FY2 level (1 year), you can apply for obs and gynae specialty training (7 years). I explain how to apply for a non-training post and a training programme in this video- ruclips.net/video/9N9KRdB1SKA/видео.html . Also, Do check out this video on the pathway for obs and gyane in the UK ruclips.net/video/MgYV0WV8YTs/видео.html

You're welcome.
Hi dr 😍, can you please elaborate me ,as you said one does not need to give mrcp if you wish to do surgery,obs and gyna , pshycatry , is plab enough? And if yes then right after the plab 2 will i work in fy1 and f2 or trust grade job( nhs or trust grade job, what does it means) and right after non training job how do we get into those branches like obs and gyna , surgery ? How much amount will we be paid and how long will be the course?
Yes, MRCP is only necessary to enter the higher medical specialties like gastroenterology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, renal medicine, respiratory etc.
If you have completed internship, after PLAB 2, you can apply for FY2 trust grade jobs.
After FY2, you can apply for specialty training in your desired specialty.

TRAINING POST vs NON-TRAINING POST | UK DOCTOR GUIDE ruclips.net/video/9N9KRdB1SKA/видео.html
UK doctors don't normally do PG degree to specialise and become a consultant. We do the specialty training programme to specialise. Specialty training is not conducted by a university. It is not a MD/degree/masters. Specialty training programme is free. You work for the hospital while you train. You will also receive a monthly salary.
Hi ,you explained very well !
Does UK offer competitive speciality like neurosurgery, general surgery and ENT to IMG?

Wanna ask you question,can we do USMLE or PLAB after post graduation?
Please reply?

Hi, what do you mean by post graduation. You can sit for USMLE/ PLAB after MBBS.
Hey Lavnya, thanks for your rich informations
I want to know can I apply to any specialty after plab while I’m in my home country or I have to be in UK first?
And if I did 1 year internship in my country does it count ?
And thanks in advance 💕
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.

Hi there, dont know if you will see my question, but from my research, I am not really clear on something...If I complete PLAB 1 & 2, would I still need to do MRCP after starting to work in the UK?
MRCP is a UK specialty exam for the medical specialties. MRCP is for doctors who want 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, radiology etc.

Hey mam!
Can you please tell me how to do MRCS there? Is giving PLAB a necessity or can I directly give MRCS exam? Also can you give an idea of how much will it cost to complete MRCS?
Hi, most doctors do MRCS during core surgical training CST (2 years). CST is free for local and international doctors. You work for the trust while you train.
To register with the GMC and work here, you need to do PLAB or one of the UK specialty exams like MRCS/MRCP/MRCOG etc.

Not really. From my obervations, it is possible.
Hey! I wanted to know if by pursuing paediatrics , can I be a surgeon as well or do I have to train as a surgeon first and then do my fellowship in pediatrics.
Hi are you planning to be a paediatric surgeon? Paediatric surgery is its own specialty, a branch of surgery.

Hi Lavanya. Great content u shared! I'm about to complete my post graduation in MD anaesthesia in India. What exams/pathway do I need to go through to work in anaesthesia in the UK? Would be very helpful if you replied! Thanks in advance!
Hi, thank you. Well done! In order to work as an anaesthesiologist in UK, you normally need to complete the anaesthesia training and FRCA. Since you have already completed anaesthesia training in India, you could apply for CESR once you are working here. You can find more information on the RCOA website. www.rcoa.ac.uk/careers-and-training/cesr-and-equivalence
I am having registration in bangladesh but can’t work there. I am a SriLankan but no registration in my country. Can I apply for mrcp
hello a very informative video
Can we do internal medicine residency without mrcp? how easier is it to get it there?
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).
thank u so much
regards from nepal

You can do the PLAB exam after MBBS. But to obtain full GMC registration you must do MBBS, internship and PLAB. You can take PLAB while doing internship.
Hi Lavnya... how long after you take the plab can u take the mrcp?
Also..what exactly is a trust grade job?
And you said that the mrcp is only for medicine based specialities...so what exam would I have to take if I want to specialize in radiology?
You can take MRCP after 1 year of clinical practice after MBBS.
Trust grade job are non-training post. Do check out this video on UK doctors grades/titles ruclips.net/video/vAD0tsuwEF8/видео.html
For radiology, you will need to take FRCR.

Hi, I graduated lasted april from chinese university so how should I follow to work in UK?
Hi, you start by doing PLAB and register with the GMC. After that, you can apply for doctor jobs in the UK.
thank you
Hi lavnya, first of all thank you for your responses on my previous comments. I've come across one the foreign medical grauduate, a youtuber of india who did his mbbs from russia or ukraine , am nut sure. He did mrcp 1 right after mbbs without even an internship. He said that for mrcp 1 u just need to have a degree,. And for mrcp 2, 12 months of practice, and 18 months of practice for mrcp 3 after clearing mrcp 2. Is that correct? Now am planning for mrcp after my graduation instead of plab, as this will save my time. And also if i wont get a pg seat in india. I will continue to practice to meet the required month of practice for mrcp.
Hi, you can check the eligibility criteria for MRCP here www.mrcpuk.org
lavnya ! may i ask why exactly you gave up on USMLE after committing to it ?
Hi, I decided that I want to settle and work in the UK. It would be a better choice for me since I trained here and I am already familiar with the healthcare system.
Please give your opinion regarding job chance after the covid 19 effect? Will the chance for imgs reduce to get a job in UK?
It is difficult to say. I really don't know what the overall effect will be.
Hi mam!
I wanted to know if it is possible to become a consultant in UK by directly appearing for MRCP, after completing MD from a different country?
Hi, you can consider doing the CESR route. You can find more information about CESR here.

Thank you mam!
Hi can I apply for fy1 august 2021 if my mbbs is getting over in may 2021
And do we need to pass plab before getting into fy1 or after getting into fy1
Yes. If you studied medicine outside UK/EU, you need to pass PLAB before starting FY1.
Helloo mam.! Right now I’m doing my internship from india. I’m planning to write mrcp. But when is the ideal time for me to write mrcp?? Like do i need to have 1 more year clinical experience (other than my internship) to write the exam??
I think you can do it after internship. You can start preparing for the test now. Sit for the exam once you are confident enough. All the best.
Thank you mam, is being a registrar equal to a resident in the usa, could you shed some light on the salary of a trust grade doctors, basic pay, expenses and kind of working hours, late night shifts and are those paid or unpaid, after i finished my graduation this year, what should be my plan regarding the plab, or if i choose usmle to begin with how much time am i expecting to finish up preparing without working.
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.
Mam, Is it pssible to join as FY-2 doctor in UK after completing mrcp part 1 without plab????
If you did MBBS outside the UK/EU, you need to register with the GMC. To obtain GMC registration, you need to complete MRCP (all parts) or PLAB (all parts).
Awesome content....make more and more...

Hi Dr Lavnya, I have completed MD Paediatrics in India and working. Which exam should I take to become a consultant in UK? Please reply..
Hi, the first step is probably to gain GMC registration. You can do this by taking MRCPCH since you are already a paediatrician.
To become a consultant in the UK (to enter the specialist register here), you can consider doing the CESR route. You can find more information about the CESR route here bdiresourcing.com/news/2018/06/a-guide-to-cesr/130
There might be other routes as well. Do contact BDI resourcing. They are a recruitment agency that helps international doctors secure a job here.
