Hi! I am a "FY2" in Malaysia. I plan to become a paediatrician and work in the UK. Which pathway would you recommend? (1) Take PLAB and start FYP in the UK or (2) complete MRCPCH and apply as a ST1 in the UK?

[@lavnya70]

If you want to work and settle in UK, best to come here as soon as possible. So I would suggest to take PLAB and apply for trust grade (SHO level), post in UK. After 6-12 months, apply for specialty training in paediatrics ST1. It is also much easier to take MRCPCH while doing paediatric specialty training here.

Thanks for the information doc. This will come in handy. I have a question. I am a final-year med student and was planning for sitting the PLAB1 test after graduation. However, the Korean government went very wrong and they just don't let us take a license test this year. (We took part in a demonstration against gov', that's why) Anyway, I was wondering if I wasn't able to get an official license this year, could I sit PLAB 1 test after graduation? (Graduation will be in January next year) Probably I could sit my license test in September, next year. I just don't want to waste my time. Thank you.

Hi there! I’m a medical graduate from Ukraine! And my studies were for 6 years, we as students had a lot of practical training for the last three years in the hospitals , does that count as internship or some form of experience, as I have read on the GMC website in order to apply directly FY2 if the student had a period of pre-graduate clinical experience outside the UK. This is usually referred to as an internship.? So would that mean I can go directly for FY2?

@@lavnya70 Thank you so much Dr Lavanya♥️🙌

Hey, some agency told me that you have to complete your internship before sitting for plab 1 ? Is it really necessary or can i give plab 1 while i'm doing my internship? Will i be allowed to register for the same ?

[@lavnya70]

I think you can take PLAB after graduating medical school. Most doctors do internship after graduation.

Hello doctor I am little bit confused 🤷‍♂️ regarding after Plab scenario. After clearing Plab examination if I will sit for an interview is there any criteria or minimum experience should be there to apply for job ?

[@lavnya70]

Not really. If you are a newly qualified doctor, you can apply for FY2 post after PLAB. If you have more experience, you can apply for a more senior post. Do check out this video AFTER PLAB- WHAT NEXT? @VgDk and Do check out this video on UK doctors grades/titles @wEF8

Hi....If we have completed speciality training (psychiatry) from India,whats the procedure or route to work In UK??

[@lavnya70]

You can consider doing the MRCPsych and obtain GMC registration. After that, apply for trust grade psychiatry jobs here. If you are already a specialist/consultant in another country, you can enter the specialist register here via the CESR route. bdiresourcing.com/news/2018/06/a-guide-to-cesr/130
