I heard there some FY1 Non training jobs for IMG with GMC registration but don’t want to quickly take the role and responsibility of a FY2 non training job…so they do FY1 non training so they can learn from the scratch rather than joining the FP.How true is that ?

[@ikhlasibrahimsalimoamiri4177]

Hi Ibreez, thank you for a great video ! I really needed it. I was hoping for you to talk about the reserve list and how to consider it or think about it when making the decision to apply.

[@RoadToUK]

Do you mean in terms of how to rank?

[@ikhlasibrahimsalimoamiri4177]

@@RoadToUK I mean with the growing reserve list, do you think the UK is going to start accepting less and less of IMGs into the UKFP ? meaning it will become more competitive ?

[@TheC2aung]

Thank you for the great video. I did my medical school overseas and unfortunately, my home country ( Myanmar ) does not provide 1-year internship for foreign graduates and IMG who wish to work in Myanmar require a one-year internship certificate to sit for the medical licensing exam. As I have no plan to work in the UK in the future, I am wondering if it's possible to do FY-1 only to meet the requirement.

[@RoadToUK]

You would have to drop out at FY1 and ensure your country would then accept it.

[@jaafertwaij7980]

Thanks lots Dr Ibreez! one question: can I join the UKFP even if i had a full GMC registration?

[@dari952]

Hello, Dr.Ibreez. Thank you for your guidance. But I'd like to ask a couple of questions about pathology and Plab. So, I am an international medical student and after my master's degree in medicine in Ukraine, I applied for internship there for the "pathological anatomy" (which is an equivalent to pathology, if I'm not wrong). My question is: Am I able to apply for Plabs and register in GMC? Is my internship valid for GMC form of internship? I'd like to continue as a clinician in the UK rather than a pathologist. Or should I apply for the UKFP? (I'd need to pass the clinical assessment then). I'd really appreciate if you answer. Thank you.

After graduating med school I immediately shifted to specialty program . I’ve done 2 years gastroenterology residency in Europe . am I eligible to do F1 program in England ? Note : I didn’t do the normal internship in my home country nor any where else.

[@jesusboyyyy]

Hello. Does applying for UKFP program give you a PLAB slot? And a second question, how’s the competition?

[@RoadToUK]

No, but by informing UKFP that you require a PLAB date, they may be able to help in the process.

[@heimencnc1996]

Hi Dr! Hope you are well. If i complete one year of UKFP, is it considered as my one year internship to come back to Australia and start practicing as a dr here?

[@RoadToUK]

Sorry, we have no idea as to what Australia would accept.

[@dr.aabhaa]

Hello Dr.Ibreez. Thank you for your guidance. My question here is ; is it possible to get FY1 in UK? from what I’ve gathered is it is quite difficult and that is why people prefer doing internship in their respective countries and apply for FY 2. I’ve recently completed my mbbs in August but haven’t done my internship.. I want to apply for FY1 in UK .. do you think I’ll be able to get a seat there? ( PS: I’ve done my mbbs from china and have no clue if they’ll be calling us back for internship and the rules here in India keep changing for worse when it comes to FMGs.) Please guide me through ..Thank you

[@barjees7430]

Hello Dr Ibreez, could you tell me If a student who has transferred to a different medical school in 5th semester , is she/he eligible for Gmc Registration?

[@jamesgathm8]

36th view! Yeah! I appreciate your effort to IMGs 😄. If I may ask, what's your opinion on clinical attachment to gain NHS experience as a booster during job application, which I think isn't a paid attachment? How common is it for IMGs to get employed after GMC registration without NHS experience? As always, thank you for the encouragement. 😄

Does your internship meet the acceptable criteria? If it does, you can't apply for the UFKP.

My Internship is of 10 months which is unacceptable according to GMC. Should I opt for FY1, I have my PLAB2 in January. Can I apply in UKFPO for January 2023 intake? In order to get my Foundation Year started once I get my my provisional GMC Registration.

Really depends… check the gmc if your internship is accepted for full registration.

You'd need to complete PLAB and get provisional registration to be in UKFP.

one more con is that the imgs have to get 7.5 in ielts in each module for the ukfp... which many of them cannot !

@@RoadToUK it's not about recession or something. It's about the fact that the system doesn't even pay enough to even nearly keep up in pace with inflation. Like alright a 3 to 4 percent real wage decline is tolerable, but above 8% real decline in one shot! And an overall 30% real decline only within 2 decades!
