[@lindadoesvegan4045]

Thank you, I appreciate how concise and to the point this video is! Very useful.

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@justlooking3649]

Very concise video. Thanks for posting

[@Muzamil2065]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation about the exam. Bless you. Could you please share your anki deck, it would be really helpful. Waiting for your kind response. 😊

[@varinderkaur986]

Really helpful. Thanks

[@tanishkanaithani867]

Hi there! Thanks for the video! You mentioned that you’d already sat the MSRA for GP training before radiology, is that something you would advise doing? Did you do that in the previous year? I’m interested in obs and gynae and was wondering if it would be worth sitting it first for GP, thanks again!

[@saleemshahzad4215]

Thank you very much dr If possible can you please share your anki flashcards link ?

[@Faithinspiredlessons]

I need to understand something about this exam. Will you be the one to choose your specialty? Or will they be the one to choose a specialty for you according to your score?.

[@drkahn3063]

What about the mcq bank and Emedica combination pls someone respond

[@malihakhabir5630]

I wonder how they select the specialty for a doctor like who will get GP or psychiatry

[@Mr.Radiologist]

The MSRA exam is used to help with ranking applicants for GP and psychiatry.

Hi.... where is your video to build radio portfolio?

[@munirmuhammad8324]

Hi Dr, Very informative video. What was your revising strategy in last 2 weeks ?

[@Sadat56]

could you please.suggest nhs interview practice sources

[@wchen5282]

great video! im applying this year, would be good to know how the portfolio is scored. And just a thought, would be great if you can make a video about private practice opportunities for radiologists as there is not much info out there.

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Thanks! I'll make a video about radiology portfolios (the scoring changes a little every year) - try seeing if anything is on oriel on previous radiology vacancies or googling 'radiology portfolio self assessment' and some examples from previous years come up. I don't know a lot about private practice opportunities as I'm still in training, but it might be something to talk about in future. Good luck for your application!

Taking the MSRA for core anaesthetics

[@Nadx7]

Hi Jack! I'm taking the MSRA exam in a couple of months. I would be grateful if you could share your anki deck with me, would be really helpful :)

[@Tso7898]

Hello doctor and thank you for this great video Do you have any suggestions to improve on interviews (how to answer questions, how to start talking about our cv,etc.) ?

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Yes, absolutely! It is key to get in practice. I highly recommend doing some kind of interview course, it doesn't have to be the one I have set up with colleagues at www.ace-radiology.com , but any well-reviewed course would be better than nothing.

[@bilalbangash7731]

how many questions are there in Passmedicine for MSRA?

[@dumindasamarawickrama3795]

Thank you bro

[@Mr.Radiologist]

No problem

Hi Jack which package on mcqbank for ST1 GP training in Aug 2024 -- is it this one -- GP Induction & Refresher Scheme (I+R)?

[@user-fs6vw3qq7p]

Hello, thank you for this useful and informative video about the exam, i have a question, as an img graduate, do i have to take the Plab exam before taking MSRA exam? Does msra exam grant the GMC registration? Or do i have to take the Plab exam to get registered first?

[@ciniplex26]

I'm an IMG currently doing internship in my country. I want to pursue radiology in UK. Should I do Plab?. Or doing MSRA won't require me to do Plab.

[@alvinbilley5862]

Hey can I reach out to you directly. I heard you say you took Msra and got into GP training. Then you took it again and got into radiology?

[@alicesummers5288]

Just wondering - does the exam include surgery? The blueprint doesn't seem to include surgery, but I hear the exam is now also used for surgical trainees, and the Passmed bank has surgical questions. Emedica doesn't have questions on surgery though however

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Hi, the exam does include questions about surgery, though usually about surgical diseases (such as gallstone disease) rather than particulars of surgery (such as which sutures to use, etc.).

[@alicesummers5288]

@@Mr.Radiologist Thank you!

[@Missdovanova]

Will they send MSRA invite even if I did not have a full gmc registration before applying but will have it before the start of post ??

[@dewh56]

Do we still need an MSRA if we have an FRCP and we’re applying for ST3 ?

[@shlokedutta5166]

for cardiology and neurology too we have to give msra?

[@Dollarrich]

Hi Jack, thank you for your video! I wanted to know how many times over did you complete passmed and mcqbank? I really want to do well and work at your hospital as I've worked there as a junior and loved it. Hope all is going well with your training too

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Hi! I did the question banks once through, then I selected the option for repeating questions I got wrong and only did those probably once through. I wouldn't recommend repeating all of the questions again because you'll know the answers to many of them and it's not worth your time. If you have time after doing passmed and mcqbank in the way above, then explore other question banks. I never got that far, but if you REALLY want to secure a good score and therefore a preferred location for training, then it is probably worth it. Hope that helps and good luck!

[@muhammadilyaskhan4723]

@@Mr.Radiologist Hi, out of interest, how much was your score on MSRA (If you don't mind sharing).

[@rushinparekh3313]

How is it any different from PLAB 1

[@youssefessam4418]

Hello Jack I had a question I Want to apply to radiology training in the near future but I had a few questions 1- I am from Egypt and trying to apply for first job in uk, is it better to start a service job or take Msra and apply for gp/psychiatry? Like which option will i be able to make a strong radiology portofolio along working in 2- Is it easy to change from a training to training in another speciality? Or will there be obstacles doing that? Can they refuse for example? 3- can i take frcr part 1 and still apply for st1 radiology or will that rule me out from st1 level jobs Thanks alott

[@nevinabraham1065]

The format of the exam would be similar to PLAB I’m assuming is it?

[@asuezeigwe9381]

I find that it's similar to PLAB 1

[@zahrabatoolmanzoor2538]

Hi If you dont mind answering this question. What MSRA score did you get. I want to have a rough idea for london please.

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Hi, I think it was between 580 and 590. Of course the portfolio and interview will influence your final score as well.

[@zahrabatoolmanzoor2538]

@@Mr.Radiologist thank you for your reply The portfolio is fine in a way that its scoring 35/45 of the new scoring thing with MRCS prt A , 2 taster weeks in Radiology including charring cross,letter of recomendations, 5 published researches in radiology, 2 audits in radiology from home country, Attended RCR Conferences and research days. Radiology teaching courses and teaching course from Uni of michigan. Like It was always known that radiology is everything so he started working on early on. What do you recommend for interview preparation

[@Mr.Radiologist]

That's a strong portfolio, well done! For interviews, practice is key. I do recommend doing a course so that you get some practice and use a resource to target your practice. Check out www.ace-radiology.com where myself and some other London radiology registrars have set up a course and online lectures with a course handbook.

[@donya_zidan]

Do we need MRSA if we have MRCS?

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Hi, yes - you still need to sit the MSRA exam even if you have MRCS. This is because MSRA is not a qualification, it is a test that everyone has to sit with each new application round. Hope that helps!

[@Adityaa.Joshii]

@@Mr.Radiologistwhen do you sit for this exam? In FY1?

[@Mr.Radiologist]

Hi, you sit the exam when applying for specialty training. after submitting your application, you will be invited to book the exam.
