Does social medicine could count as Medicine? In my country it is a rotation where students go to a second level hospital in the countryside and attend normally but in a rural context👀

[@suneraratnayake6772]

This cleared a huge problem I had thank you so much!!! what is considered medicine and what is considered surgical

Please make a video on GMC registration steps via MRCP route...

Hello Mam, I did my medical studies in Ukraine and graduated and did a one year clinical residency in Ukraine in obstetrics and Gynecology, in Ukraine there is no internship but postgraduate training. I did mine only for one year does that count as a form of internship or clinical experience for the GMC? Or should I apply for UKFPO? Im confused please help?

[@Dr.wellingtonmazambani]

Where did you study in Ukraine? I just got my registration application declined after working tirelessly for Plab 1 and 2. Did you get your provisional registration or full license to practice? I also did neurosurgery residency in Kiev and Dnipro for 3 years. Sob sob sob

[@caffeinateddoctor9714]

Is medical diploma important to get provisional GMC registration? Can I get it with deans letter stating I have passed the final exam and qualified but not yet received the diploma?

[@maryamalam6027]

Hi, I just wanted to confirm whether my 9 months internship in medicine (3 months general medicine, 3 months respiratory medicine and 3 months anasthseia) with 3 months of general surgery would be acceptable for gmc registration. Please give a yes or no answer. I'm really worried.

[@sharishliyakat5573]

What if we took a break for more than 5 weeks (not continuously) during the internship due to some emergency? Will the internship be accepted by the GMC? Please help🙏

[@mithilaphatak9210]

When the GMC says the date of your completion certificate should "match" the end of your internship programme, do they mean the date exactly 365 days later or just close to when the programme ends? The next day for example?

[@SimraRehman-ev4oi]

Hello, can you please confirm if we can complete postgraduate internship in a country different from where we graduated from?

[@anintrovertgirl9619]

Hello. I want to ask if there is gap of 3 yrs between final year and internship will this internship be accepted by gmc? Or which option is there to make it accepted?

[@Roger-hu4tk]

What if i am not satisfied with my internship and don't feel like i learned a lot '.'... would i be able to apply for fy1?

[@ehtishamkhan294]

Is a rotation of general surgery, Anesthesia, general medicine and radiology with 3 months each accepted by the gmc ? Along with that ,will this 3 months of surgery and 9 months of medicine reflect poorly on someones cv that looking to pursue surgery in the future 🥺

[@seherqasim6897]

Please can you tell me if 6 months at Gynaecology and 6 months at anesthesia accepeted??

[@marcelomarcelo6790]

12 months (or 12-18/ 18+) refers duration from start to finish (including gaps for exam periods/summer gap) or are we talking about 12 months in absolute days/weeks (for example 12 months of rotations in a total duration of ie 15 months because of obligatory gaps of the medical program)?? for example if you did 14 months but spread out in a period 19 months(because of two exam periods and a summer time off for example), do you need 6+6 months of medicine and surgery or 3+3??

[@saramueen5973]

Does 2 months of surgery (colorectal and plastic surgery) and 2 months of obs and gynae fulfill the criteria of minimun 3 months of surgery?

[@abinageorge5375]

Thank u ma'am 4 this video......ma'am please do clear one of my queries......does a distance education degree taken parallel to MBBS add points to my CV......it would be great if you reply to this

[@afshanhayat9154]

I had a gap of 4 months from end of my medicine rotation and start of surgical rotation... Will it affect my application for registration?

Hello dr. I graduated in 2019 , but didn't do my internship ( house job) till now. I want to get GMC registered. How can i start my internship and how long will it take ?

[@toobi154]

But we still have to clear plab right? I haven't read anything about exemptions.

[@chinnuprince6304]

Yes. PLAB or all 3 steps of MRCP/CS is needed to get full registration with GMC

[@RoadToUK]

There are exemptions for some: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSwYpmvhqiZf68

[@saramueen5973]

Does this fulfill the requirement Colorectal surgery (1month) ENT (1 month) Obs and gynae (2months) of surgical rotation AND Emergency medicine 2 months medicine (each diff rotation) 2 months peads as the medicine rotation

Hello ma'am. You video are really very informative but i have to ask you something. I am a student studying from Ukraine. Right now I am doing online classes because of war and everything. So will there be any alternative rules for us for clinical rotations.

I did a pregraduate internship for 12 months during which I did a 3 month training in visceral surgery and did no gap in between.and it was validated.Would it be possible to meet criteria to apply for residency in the UK??

Ultimately it would be up to GMC to decide.

Hi Doctor! Can you give an opinion about NHS losing their junior doctors over salary deals (considering the high global inflation). Personally, as an expat I’m more inspired to pass PLAB coz the more NHS Will be in need of doctors. Though it’s sad to know about the financial struggle there (if any), but my goal is to reach UK, get a job and practice my profession. What do you think? Thanks ahead and more power!

Hello and thanks for this video and all the information! Are you sure that branches of medicine (e.g. Pediatrics/cardiology/pulmonary medicine etc) are included in the 3 or 6 months of medicine that is required? Or does this 3 month provision refer only to internal medicine?

[@RoadToUK]

Yes they are included

[@vipin..]

HI mam, in a 12 months internship can we do continuous 6 months parctice in a pirticular medical speciality and an other 6 months in a surgical speciality . For example, 6 months in neurology and 6 months in neurosurgery ? will this be acceptable. I have done this from a private hospital after my graduation.

[@shehzadshinwari6526]

Hello Mam I am a graduate from Pakistan. I graduated in 2010 , then internship for one year in 2011 as House job / foundation year. However after that i had joined rural health clinic and prepared for post graduate entrance exam which i passed in 2014 as well as MRCP Part 1 and waited for next two years to join residency in medicine. I did fellowship training from 2016 to 2020 and then passed MRCP UK in 2021 and joined second fellowship training in 2022. I dont have any evidence for employment from 2012 to 2016 . How will it affect my GMC registration. Thanks

[@siddharthpatel2036]

Hi doc, I graduated from foreign country and then started internship in my home country, after one year of graduation. I had a gap before starting my internship and my graduation month is because I can’t start internship without giving FMGE exam in my home country and this exam is conducted just twice a year. So will GMC consider this gap while I was preparing for FMGE exam and grant me permanent registration once I apply for it? I contacted gmc via mail but their answer to my query lead to nowhere. How come they can’t answer this simple question.

[@davidverma2588]

Gmc does not consider FMG exam as valid reason, need to have better reason than that.

[@siddharthpatel2036]

@@davidverma2588 so what reason would be accepted by GMC? Any suggestions please 🙏 Thank you. Doc if u gave fmg exam then what reason was accepted by GMC?

But one cannot start working in home country until and unless passing licensing exam. Isn’t that valid reason?

[@davidverma2588]

@siddharthpatel2036 As my seniors and doctors at Uk says, they do not consider it but for my experience i’m gonna apply for it in couple of months. so i’ll use covid lockdown and 6 month fmge delay for reason. Let’s see how it goes

I've had pre-graduate internship for one semester before the graduation, for about 5 months, during which I also had to write my graduation thesis. I was then eligible to sit the state exam after which I started working in Healthcare centre, in family medicine units. I also had to complete PAT education for a year, in order to be able to work as a family doctor (not a specialist) in the family medicine units. After working there for 2,5 years, I started nephrology training, and I'm now on my second year. Will the experience I have be enough to get a full registration, once I pass the PLABs, or will I have to start from scratch once I come to the UK, considering my surgical experience is nowhere near enough?

[@RoadToUK]

If the full duration of your internship was only five months, it would not meet the acceptable pattern criteria.

[@ilhanasestic9927]

@@RoadToUK Yeah, thanks. I assumed as much about the internship. But I thought, since I've been working for the past 4 years, and even started my residency, I hoped I wouldn't have to do it all over again 😢 I hope I'll manage to figure something out, I really don't feel like starting from FY1 😄 But thanks for the answer.

I really worried that my internship would get me rejected from GMC. i was doing internship on february 2019, government program. It was supposed to be 12 months as GMC demanding but Covid-19 happen then the government just cut out my internship duration to 9 months. I begged the comittee to extend just my internship to 12 months but they said if others in the same program doesnt want to then there’s nothing i can do, thus i finished in november 2019. After job searching, i was working independently in the hospital in february 2020 then still working until now (i never had any gaps since although im preparing plab im still working) so how am i explaining this to the GMC? Am i hopeless? Please ive been trying ask this anywhere but nobody answer
