Mam plz tell more about clinical attachments you mentioned in the video...... 1 How to get them 2 Are these paid or we have to pay for it 3 Are these different from non training jobs 4 For much time we have to do these attachments

[@gloriaalva8781]

Dear Jaskaran. Not all universities or trusts offer clinical attachment. You are not paid for it. And they are jobs , basically you are shadowing and learning under guidance. After satisfactory completions of clinical attachment and being signed off you usually get a job in the trust. Even if you dont get one, they give you a reference letter using that you can apply for a job. Best wishes.

[@jasdeepkaur1019]

Hello doctor!greetings from India....I want to apply for tourist visa for plab 1 and the agent that I consulted said that the rate of rejection of visa are higher if one doesn't show a sponsor for stay.I don't have any relative in UK and if the sponsor is not among your blood relative does that increase the chances of visa rejection or is it fine to just book an accommodation and show the necessary documents.....I'm really confused regarding this

[@drmonishamishra]

I don’t know how agents work as I’ve never consulted one. What I can say is, I don’t have relatives in the U.K either. I applied for tourist visa for PLAB and showed bookings of my accommodation(which was via AirBNB that I booked myself), return flight tickets, account statements, exam booking and letter from my parents suggesting they will financially support me during the trip. PS: You don’t need agents when it comes to visa for any country. At least that’s what I believe in.

[@kripamariya]

What if I plan to write both plab1 and plab2 in uk within this 6 months? I have already booked a plab 1 seat in UK for Aug 2023 since no seats were available in India for the same. How should I proceed? What should I write in covering letter?Should I mention about the plan to write plab 2?

[@drmonishamishra]

You can mention it. Usually, they provide you with 6 months tourist visa so potentially if there is a place available for PLAB2 then you can appear for it while you are here. All this depends on PLAB2 places being available once your results come out as you can't book it without passing PLAB1. Hope this makes sense. Just for you to be aware of the timeline: Your PLAB1 results will come out a little later than a month after you exam. You would require a month(at least) or more depending on how confident you are to practice for PLAB2 to then appear for the exam. Maybe while you are waiting for PLAB1 results start looking up for an academy and start practicing/preparing. Hope this helps!

Can we apply for visa before booking plab-2 exam?.. what reason should we give then for visiting uk?... is attending an academy and giving a tentative date a sufficient reason for visiting uk?.. showing a stay of nearly 2-3 months?.. due to tha pandemic everything got delayed therefore I want to apply for the visa early before booking the exam so that I can have the visa before booking the exam...

[@drmonishamishra]

1. Can apply for visa without exam confirmation however I would suggest you apply for visa after exam confirmation as it supports your case for visa better. 2. Again.. speaking from experience I showed them exam confirmation. You could try the method you are suggesting but I can’t vouch for it. There is no point of having visa before booking exam as visa arrives soon anyway. Main thing is to find exam slot. Hope this helps!

As an FY1 , yes it is quite tough the best thing you could do is come back to your country do internship and then apply for an FY2 job which is more widely availble . Hope that helps.

Actually I heard that plab 2 can be given in 2 yrs after passing plab1..so there is window period of that 2 yr ...so can I get job experience for plab 2 (as fy 1_2 ) ... after passing plab 1 or I should take plab 2 sooner ..nd get the job as fy 1_2 ?? Nd other qes is that ...do they recruite us as FY 2 directly? After done MBBS in india with completed internship nd passed plab 1?

[@Drzeezy]

if i understood your question correctly, you do have a period of 2 years for doing your PLAB 2 exam after PLAB 1. So yes if you wish to work in your country / get your internship done that can be done. i would recommend that coz after internship in your country you can finish your PLAB 2 and get a FULL registration which will qualify you for FY2 jobs.

[@drmonishamishra]

1. No, you can’t convert visas. 2. Post PLAB2 exams you need to return to India to apply for tier 2 visa for the first time. 3. You can apply for Tier2 visa while your tourist visa remains valid. But geographically you need to be in your home country to apply for it(for the first time). Hope this makes sense.

Hello. Can we clear PLAB 2 exam without joining any academy in UK?

[@drmonishamishra]

Again a very subjective question.. it depends. I am sorry but I can’t give a generalised answer. If you feel confident then by all means go ahead. I wasn’t sure of what was expected of me in the exam, how the system works, what are the guidelines, what are the layers of care that one can provide, what exactly are the options I can be giving when doing safety netting etc etc. I wanted to be safe rather than sorry by not doing the course. Also, we should be mindful that we weren’t born, raised, educated or lived in this country and our first language isn’t English. You learn a lot with regards to bedside manners and how OSCE works in the course. We haven’t learnt shit(sorry for my language) with regards to OSCE in our home country. I’ll be making a video very soon about this.

[@Drzeezy]

Yes you can , but i would advise you not to. This exam is costly, its costed me approximately 5000$. So its best to just pay for all the necesary things coaching classes, materials etc etc and get the best chance to pass this exam in one attempt.

It varies from speciality to speciality.

Higher speciality training is what you call super speciality in India which isn’t compulsory back home.

3 Simple reasons for me being: a) UK route is cheaper compared to US path b) All UK exams are non competitive. You just have to pass them.
