[@sourabhjoshi3518]

Hello Dr. Roy, I have got calls from certain consultants regarding medicine training in India for approx 2-3 years during which they will train me in different pvt hospitals and prepare me for mrcp simultaneously. According to them all the training and coaching will be in India and I won’t have to travel to the UK during this period. All this process requires me completing my internship after MBBS in India and no pg degree is required. And acc to them i will be entering uk as st3. I would like to know if this path is possible.

[@AceurMRCP]

Hi Sourabh You are probably talking about IMT training pathways in India which is fast gaining popularity as a means of bypassing NEETPG and starting speciality training in the UK. It is indeed a validated pathway as many candidates have entered ST training in the UK via this route. However, this route is not without it's share of disadvantages. So please make sure you are adequately informed about the pros and cons before considering this route.

[@ginger803]

Thank you Dr that was so informative. Can indian consultants sign the alternative competency document?

Hi The consultant who is signing this document has to have at least 3 months of NHS experience. If you scroll down to the end of the document, you will find the specific details.

For group 1 specialties, if you took the alternative pathway by completing MRCP and submitting alternative certificate of core competencies, does it still certify you for both internal medicine and your chosen speciality ?

I hold a permanent medical license to practice in India, with 2 years clinical experience in emergency medicine and clinical cardiology. And, I am currently preparing for MRCP. While watching the videos, i have come across a form that is called the alternative certificate for core competencies. I would like to know, if having that and gmc registration with a full pass on mrcp, will make me eligible to join a medical residency in internal medicine UK. And, also if 2 form's need to be filled by the consultants in emergency medicine and cardiology, each. Thank you
