I've decided to give MRCS after my PG Ortho. The reason is very personal ,i.e, I'm not sure I'd be able to land a non training job - but if I complete my PG here , then even if I fail to crack MRCS , I'll have something to go back to and start earning immediately .

Cpuld you kindly share with us how to present our CV , what points to be included to overall make it appealing ? How was your interview experience ? What are the tips you want to share with your viewers who are aspiring for PLAB in the coming years ?

[@dineshdutta7885]

Hello mam I am too from Mayurbhanj, Odisha motherland siblings. I have question that if I will graduate from a foreign med school I have to do internship in India to get a permanent Indian license to practice medicine in India, then to get GMC registration I need to clear both PLAB 1&2 then how can I pursue neurosurgery residency which might equivalent to MCH neurosurgery in India. Could you guide me to know up the things ? And for visa related things I will surely go through your PLAB series playlist 🙂

[@snehilmalsaria2762]

Hey, thanks for the prev reply. Is it easy to score a non training job as a post internship fresher? Ideally how long does it take to land a non training post? I believe non training job is kinda necessary as an IMG to gain NHS experience before getting into training. Am I right?

[@drmonishamishra]

By easy if you mean doable. Then yes, it’s possible to get a job post internship as a fresh pass out. I can’t put a number on how long it takes as it varies person to person. How long it might take to get GMC license, how many jobs you apply, how many get back to you, how many interviews go well, who offer you jobs, how long till your sort your tier2 visa out. It depends on a lot of things. Sorry, can’t be putting a number on it. And lastly yes, I would recommend you doing a non training job before taking up training.

[@snehilmalsaria2762]

@@drmonishamishra Thank you so much! Looking forward for more such content✌️

[@kushsingh8178]

So that means, we cannot choose our own speciality , they'll be deciding and giving us the speciality ?

[@drmonishamishra]

That’s incorrect. You apply for the speciality you want to specialise in for Core Training and Higher Speciality Training.

Hey Dr how are you? I’m looking into doing psychiatry and I have a few questions Can you enter residency at 24 and can you be called dr while in residency? Or will you have to go through med school first? And when you go through med school will you also be called dr?

[@drmonishamishra]

You have to do medical school to enter residency. And you are called doctor post medical school till the end of your life.

[@sz6234]

Hi ...I love your videos and the information that you share with us as plainly as possible...it is so helpful for current medical students ...Thank you . May I just ask you that how do we get our speciality once we qualify both the plab exams (for IMG)?

[@drmonishamishra]

PLAB exams are just licensing exams. To apply for core training you need to apply for the desired speciality separately. There is application period, you need to meet the eligibility criteria, appear for any exams if needed (some specialities have them) and then all specialities have interview + OSCE after which if you match you are offered a core training post. You can look up and apply on oriel website.

[@muhammadumersiddique4288]

Hey thanks and that's great information....I want to ask can you do your regular contract and locum shifts side by side and without leaving a regular monthly nhs contract job....means not totally like fy3...😁😁😁

[@drmonishamishra]

Yes, you can. You gotta find time and can do them on your off days or take AL etc if you want to. But I wouldn’t overly exert myself so much for some extra bucks. But that’s my opinion.😁

[@yamseshz2814]

Is coaching from BHATIA/DAMS helpful in passing PLAB . I am planning to join Bhatia to take coaching for upcoming NEXT exam but I am very interested in giving PLAB exam !

[@drmonishamishra]

I didn’t take any coaching. I solved question banks and that was that! I don’t think it’s necessary to join Bhatia for PLAB. It’s pretty straight forward if you have the study material.

[@snehapatnaik6462]

Hi Dr. Monisha first of all thanks for all your videos. They are truly informative. Can you please answer if I can take PLAB 1 in India in 2021? I tried to find out from GMC online but i guess it says all the slots for 2021 are booked.

[@drmonishamishra]

Hey. If all the slots are booked then you will have to wait for an empty slot to be announced or added. You can see availability in your GMC account when you apply to book it.

[@snehilmalsaria2762]

hey! thanks a ton for the info. can I give MRCS after the internship in India and be eligible for GMC registration. Would it be a better option than giving PLAB? i understand MRCS is harder but is it possible to pass MRCS after the internship?

[@drmonishamishra]

Hey. I am unsure about what the pre-requisites are for MRCS. Usually for someone to be giving royal college exams(few of the parts) there needs to be a certain number of years they need to have done in that speciality. Not too sure you will have to check it. Secondly, royal college exams are membership exams.

Hey ! Thank you for such an informative video . I wanted to ask a question. After my mbbs I m planning to give plab exams and pursue pg from UK instead of giving NEET (PG) exams but after my pg I want to come back to INDIA and settle in India ...so what are your opinion on this ?

My opinion doesn’t matter. You should do what you feel is right for yourself. Everybody’s circumstances and priorities are different which is completely fine.

What are the chances of me getting any job right after plab if I write PLAB 2 right after my internship in India? And can I work as a junior doctor for more than one year? Will I be considered for core training job then?

[@drmonishamishra]

I have explained my whole timeline in that video and various other videos. If I get to writing it will be a big paragraph. I hope you understand. Also, every speciality has different requirements when it comes to core training. I hope that answers your question.

[@drmonishamishra]

I didn’t do any PG in any india post my internship if that’s what you are asking. Also, I can’t be promising what your job chances post PLAB2 will be- it depends on your portfolio and how you do in your interview. Thirdly, you have to be in U.K. to be giving PLAB2. Lastly, how many years you want to work as a junior doctor is in your hands. Don’t be in a hurry to get into core training job - take your time. It’s not a rat race.
