[@aadarshshrimali4590]

Hello, Doc. I find your videos immensely helpful. I want to know, do they (the examiners) strictly take your spoken english into account, while examining you in PLAB 2 ?

[@DoctorNosa]

Thanks a lot! Your English is not being asssesed, the most important thing is the patient understands what you’re saying which is why in one of the stations were they ask you to explain a procedure to a patient, asking the patient to kindly run through what you’ve just told them is a good way to assess understanding. Good luck!

[@424Gaby]

Loving this series Dr. Nosa! Would you please explain the road to paediatric speciality training as an img? Thank you

[@DoctorNosa]

Thanks Gabriela! FY1>FY2> ST1 paediatrics to ST8 so that’s a total of about 10 years after medical school before you become a paediatrics consultant. Hope that helps!

[@424Gaby]

Doctor Nosa thank you!

[@deez4ever]

Thank you!! Im planning to do plab 1 and plab 2..

[@DoctorNosa]

You’re welcome! 💕

[@Masombwe_Lukalu]

Doc, good day. I have a few questions: 1. Kindly explain the “eligibility application” for FY1 2. Do we need to have passed PLAB 1& 2 before applying for FY1? (I’m asking this because I’m expected to graduate by the end of this year & I want to know if it’s possible to apply this August for the 2022 program) 3. I read the English proficiency eligibility for FY1 & one of them states that I am exempted from IELTS if my institution’s name is not on the GMC’s list of unrecognized universities to teach in English. Kindly confirm this 4. For FY1, we need to provide “Evidence of your right to work in the UK (sponsorship can be arranged for those who are unable to provide evidence of their right to work).”, what is meant by this?

Hi doc.. Can I continue my MS in UK without passing my plab 1 exam?

[@someone-ub7hg]

thank you so much for your content. How much does the whole process of applying to UK cost for an IMG?

[@DoctorNosa]

You’re welcome! Hmm, it’s really difficult to quantify cause it really depends on your individual circumstances for example if you have accommodation to stay in when you come to the U.K. or not.

[@DR.CAN1]

Please Dr. Nosa, do you have video for plab1 analysis & materials needed.?

[@francisafolabi1309]

Thank you Dr Nosa for these self explanatory videos you have put together for us. I'm about taking PLAB 2 exams, hopefully after the lock-down is completely eased, but are you saying that with continuous and persistent practical (applying these things at work with real life patients), self studying for about 5 weeks, like you did, and use of geekymedic videos and other helpful videos over again, there might not be need to attend those academies with their (at least to save some extra pounds which we don't have. lol)? Or did you have to attend academy still?

[@DoctorNosa]

You’re welcome! Thanks.....You don’t have to attend but honestly I think it’s helpful to! Even if it’s just to pay for the mock exams which I know Samson offers, you can save by just paying for the mock exams instead of the whole course. That’s what I recommend 😀

Hello Dr. Nosa, I know you mentioned you took plab 1 in November and plab 2 in March the next year. Did you have any issues getting your desired date for plab 2? What was your experience? I have heard it stays booked up for months and I am just wondering how to plan especially since we don't have access to register for plab 2 until after passing plab 1. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

[@DoctorNosa]

Anne O hello Anne! The dates are usually booked up months in advance but also I found it quite easy to find a date cause people cancel all the time, you would just have to be checking often XX

sliver some thanks a lot silver! Glad to know my videos are helpful. It’s very difficult to get a job in the U.K. if you have not done 1 year internship. Once you’ve done 1 year internship in your home country, trust me, you’ll have endless job opportunities here 😀
