Hello sir, found your video so informative. The use of flowcharts made it so easy to understand.
I'm pursuing MS ENT and want to practice in UK. I've heard that there is less opportunities for surgeons as compared to MD. Is that true?

Do I need to work for 3 years after completing MS General Surgery to take the JSCFE exam to enter ST3 level training programme for Urology in the UK?
