Why FY1 is now even easier for IMGs- and how you can apply!

[@lightoflife6401]

SIR,when you said”they took everything away”--I just couldnt say anything else other than Alhamdulillah !!it literally made me cry😭Im a 5th year med student from MMC who is willing to start the journey from UKFP ..🥺

Good luck!

[@emmafortune6824]

That's really a positive change. I do think the Clinical Assessment makes absolutely no sense since the candidate is still going to take PLAB 2. I don't even knw hw to prep for it

[@RoadToUK]

Our understanding is that it is similar to PLAB 2.

[@Primusinterparesone]

CA is hospital based with real patients and real findings, and definitely more thorough than plab 2. However it is doesn’t cover Oby/gynae

[@SxSoul711]

What is clinical assesment and do we have to give in UK and before plab2?

[@dr.zeedams]

Please do you have a video about clinical assessment for UKFP applicants?

[@chrisby23]

Could you please do a detailed video on EEA graduates who are only allowed to do a full registration due to the internship completed in these countries? Thank you in advance

What would you need to know? The process post registration is the same as it is for all other IMGs. Please also see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnSwYpmvhqiZf68

Eligibility comes first.

[@موسوعةالمعرفة-و7و]

I am a medical student in the last year of my medical school outside UK and I plan to apply for UKFP after I finish my school the thing is the application process takes roughly a year (from July to August of the next year if I am correct) and there is a requirement that says you're overqualified if you did 1 year internship or more before applying and here is the problem I will finish my school in late October and every graduate in my country is forced to enter 2 years internship program (if I managed to get into UKFP I don't have to finish it) which starts in march so by the beginning of UKFP application process there will be no problem because I will not exceed the 1 year limit but by the end of it I will exceed it so is the limit calculated by the starting of applications (eligibility checking phase) or by the end of the whole process

With this new system, there is no competition (as such) any more given the random allocation. It remains to be seen how that will fare as this is the first year they are conducting it this way, but your being an IMG has no bearing on the process.

Dear IMGs, Don't fall into the trap thinking that this new system will make it easier for you to get into UKFPO. The thing that isn't mentioned is that you will still require a very high OET/IELTS which, along with the increased difficulty of PLABs now days, is a very difficult thing to achieve.
