Hi Lavnya, Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. They are very helpful. I have two questions: 1) I am an IMG from the Caribbean and I am planning to complete MRCP home without formal IMT training then apply for a job in the UK. With MRCP I can get a SHO position, but do I still have to do 3 years of IMT to get into a ST3 programme? 2) Does clearing MRCP allow you to get a Registrar position anywhere else other than UK?

Hi, thank you. If you want to skip IMT, you need to be able to demonstrate that you have all the experience and skills equivalent to an IMT doctor. You can check the eligibility criteria for ST3 training here www.st3recruitment.org.uk 2) I am not sure about this. Sorry.

Do check out this video on dermatology pathway kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpq8fY2anbRmh7M Pathway to become a dermatologist in UK for IMGs- After MBBS, internship and PLAB, apply for FY2 jobs in UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (2 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in dermatology (5 years). After that, you will be a dermatology consultant and awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT). DO NOTE- The pathway to specialise in UK is different compared to other countries. UK doctors don't normally do PG degree/masters/MD 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, if you have graduated from a medical school outside the UK or EU you will have to take the PLAB exam. Do check on the GMC website as well. After PLAB and GMC registration, apply for FY2 jobs here in the UK. After FY2 (1 year), apply for neurosurgery specialty training (7-8 years). In my opinion, if you want to work in the UK, it is best to train here.

What about ophthalmology ? For an IMG which is better : FRCO or Plabs? If I do FRCO , specialty training takes how many more years in comparison to run through ophthalmology speciality training ? And what is its competition ratio too? Similarly, cardiology IMT then ST versus MRCP then ST ?
@lavnya70
@lavnya70 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, there are two levels of applications for ophthalmology ST1 and ST3. It is easier to apply to ST1, you can apply after FY2. For ST3, you need to complete part 1 FRCOpth and at least 24 months of opthalmology experience. You can check the guidance here 'look under ophthalmology'. specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/Recruitment/Person-specifications You can find the competition ratios for all specialties here specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/Portals/1/Competition%20Ratios%202019_1.pdf Specialty training is from ST1-ST7. (7 years) With regards to cardiology, you can do either pathway. If you want to skip IMT, you need to be able to demonstante that you have at least 2-3 years internal medicine training and have gained all the competencies of an IMT doctor before applying for cardiology higher specialty training.

Most doctors, start from internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years), then apply for acute internal medicine AIM (4 years). Do check out this video on AIM kzbin.info/www/bejne/naqliGCcg9x3jNU

Hi, there are many pathways to medicine. If you don't have the core gsce, you could apply via the basic science route/pre-med route. You will then do one year- pre-med/basic sciences before the 5 year medical degree. There are a number of universities that have that route incorporated into the medical degree. As long as you have an interest in pursuing medicine, nothing is off limits. I am sure you will make a great doctor.

Hi, IMT (internal medicine training)- is a medical training post for 3 years. After that you need to apply for higher specialty training (4 years) to achieve CCT. IMGs who are senior doctors and who are already specialist in another country can enter the specialist register via the CESR route. You can find more information on that here www.gmc-uk.org/registration-and-licensing/join-the-register/registration-applications/specialty-specific-guidance-for-cesr-and-cegpr The route will depend on your clinical experience. If you are a newly qualified doctor or have limited experience, it is best to enter the normal training route. If you are already a specialist in another country then you can do the CESR route.

Hi, internal medicine training (IMT) is 3 years. However, if you have done IMT elsewhere, you might be able to demonstrate that you have gained all the competencies of an IMT doctor. Once you have done IMT/equivalent and MRCP you can apply for higher medical specialty training eg cardio, resp, derm, gastro, neuro etc. You can find more information about the IMT here www.imtrecruitment.org.uk. You can find more information about the ST3 recruitment (higher medical specialties) here www.st3recruitment.org.uk IMT is not competitive. Most doctors do get in easily.

Hi lavanya, one major Question :- Let's say a candidate with 15 months surgical experience applies to CST year 1 and he doesn't make it and next year when he re-applies for CST-1 ,his experience would be 27 months. But that would make him ineligible for CT-1 right? As he has exceeded 18 months cap surgical experience. Which means he won't be eligible for CCT? :(
@lavnya70
@lavnya70 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, if you have obtained all the competencies of a CST doctor and have 2 years of surgical experience, you can directly apply for higher surgical specialty training eg vascular, general surgery, urology etc. You dont have to repeat CST. This is my opinion. Not sure if it is the best route or best option for you. Do check out the person specification for higher surgical training you want to pursue. specialtytraining.hee.nhs.uk/Recruitment/Person-specifications For example- ST3 GENERAL SURGERY- 'Evidence of achievement of CT/ST1 competences in core surgery at time of application and CT/ST2 competences in core surgeryiv by time of appointmentv, acceptable evidence includes satisfactory ARCP outcome of completion of Core Surgical Training programme or Certificate of Readiness to Enter Higher Surgical Training

@@lavnya70 Thank you so much for replying 😊. I totally got your point. But I am more focused on CCT because I would be leaving UK after ST8. Outside UK, CESR and CESR-CP are not given importance 😅 Hence somehow trying to blend into CT1😅 and push all the way to ST8. My biggest fear is exceeding the 18 months restrictions before CST1 interview, then I will be ineligible for CST1 and eventually no more CCT :( Do you know of candidates who have exceeded 18 months limit and still got placed into CST?

Based on that, you will get a score. If you score high enough, you will get into the training programme.

For international graduates..after completion of all 3 parts of MRCP ..is it possible to join ST1/CT1 ..ie after passing exams

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. MRCP is normally done during Internal medicine training (IMT) (2-3 years). After IMT and MRCP, you can apply for ST3 training. You can skip internal medicine training (IMT), if you have done something similar and can demonstrate that you have gained all the competencies and experience of an IMT doctor.

Lavnya Balenderan Do we need to give any exam for that ? Like in India to pursue for MD we need to give an exam. And I want to pursue for radiology. Thankyou so much for your video and your replies as it is very helpful🤗 So after FY2 do we go for core training or specialty training ?

@@AnshulSingla_ It depends on the specialty. For radiology, after FY2, you can apply for radiology training. No exams are required. (MSRA- selection exam will be required after you have applied) (not prior to the application). Radiology is a run-thorugh programme. So you enter the specialty training directly. Some specialties you need to do core training before pursuing higher specialty training. Eg, for urology, vascular surgery, respiratory, cardiology, etc. You also need to do the exams MRCP/MRCS prior to entering the higher training programmes. You do the exam during the core training.
