Can You tell me if is it possible for a Muslim female to practice in the US wearing a hejab, or burka if she passes USMLE?

[@istapraqzun4303]

can someone still go n apply for ajob to usa after doing plab or u have to start from usmle again

[@israrmangat9482]

Very useful information, I want to know for consultant if someone already did FCPS+fellowship in Pakistan, Can they follow the same paths or any other , kindly let me know

[@mojahidulislam42]

U know just for booking plab 1 u need oet and after oet you will get a seat for plab 1 atleast after 9-12 months for example GMC is opening plab 1 seat for Feb and May 2024 in june 2023 📅 it's not easily available, also the pass percentage is 60-65% for part one , after plab 1 you will book plab part 2 which will be available after 6-8 months and again consider pass percentage is approx 60 % so alot of PPL need to give this again also after passing GMC registration will take 1-3 months then comes the job the avarage time is 3-9 months so the total time from oet to uk fy2 job is 2-2.5 years if someone pass everything in first attempt.. so u mentioned 4-6 month till getting into foundation year 2 is not a correct information as plab 1 seat are not available like before

[@digvijayshastri2411]

This video is very helpful for Alot of med school students who are willing to take plab or usmle in upcoming years. There are tons of videos available on youtube on plab n usmle. But this one is most simplified and straight to the point.

[@TatianaRacheva]

[@uniqueorrn4342]

I would like to add that it’s incredibly difficult to book plab 1 and plab 2 seats and Manik said 6months time frame referring to the study duration. Plab is relatively easier to crack study wise, subject material is less and difficulty is low. However, the fact that the exam itself is only conducted 4 times a year and only limited number of seats are released twice a year, it is virtually impossible to clear plab in 6 months. Realistically I’d say it takes about 12 months from the day you clear ielts to getting GMC registered. And then an unknowable period of time in between applying for jobs and landing your first job. And roughly another 6-12 months between the start of the non training Job and getting into a training program. So for a hard comparison USMLE AND PLAB both will take you about 2 years before you can have a shot at getting residency. But plab will take longer to finish unless you want to be a GP ! However, you’ll work lesser hours at a stretch in the UK. So it’s almost the same deal you either work for a lesser duration of time over 5 to 6 years or you work 80 hours a day in 3 years. Both options you leave your country and get a better training and quality of life. Salaries are comparable however, in later years, US doctors will make more.

To all my sisters in Islam... "Do not marry polytheist (mushrik) women until they believe; for a believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist (mushrik), even though she may look pleasant to you. And do not marry your women to polytheist (mushrik) men until they believe; for a believing slave-man is better than a free polytheist (mushrik), even though he may look pleasant to you. They invite you to the fire while Allah invites you to paradise and forgiveness by his grace. He makes his revelations clear to the people so perhaps they will be mindful." (Al-baqarah 2:221) it's just a reminder sister to please stay away from hindu boys because theres a campaign called BHAGWA LOVE TRAP started by RSS in 2017 where hindu boys have been trained to lure and induce muslim girls into fake love trap to destroy their Life akhirah and most importantly their EMAAN and emaan of their coming generations. They falsely claim to love you/be friends with you but all they do is to have sex with you make you pregnant and then leave you all alone thus destroys your life or else force you to convert to hinduism after marriage thus destroys your emaan ! In the shadow of the fake narrative of Love Jihad( which rarely happens or they themselves create dummy cases to degrade Muslims and Islam), hindus have already pregnant, aborted and murdered many Ayeshas, sanas, fatemas, afrins, parvins etc but obviously those cases never get highlighted in the mainstream media coz the girl is muslim and boy is hindu otherwise if the opposite happens they telecast it for about a month! So please be alert and only marry muslims when the time comes PLEASE share this verse with every muslim sister in your contact list without hesitation just for the sake of Allah.🙏 May Allah bless and protect our sisters in Islam Ameen .

[@Cottoncandy2510]

Hi Manik, PLAB pathway has become harder and it DOES NOT take 4-6months from the start to obtain a job as an FY2 anymore. It’s become harder to find seats for plab 1, the wait period is as long as a year for PLAB 1, 3-4 months for PLAB 2, 1 month for registration and to find a job it takes anywhere from 2-6months depending on the strength of the CV. This is all excluding the 1month long wait for results for all the exams.

[@mansisrivastava7749]

Agree to it. However, the information imparted through the video was still quite useful. 👍

[@Klausnos]

Once someone clears plab 2.....and if they r waiting for 6 months to find the job....how will they manage the cost of living in england?????? Do they get salary while doing FY2 ?

[@ligmab.8572]

​@@Klausnos yes FY2 is paid

[@Ab_cd18]

Plab is far easier my step 1 knowledge was enough to pass the plab exam with ease and high score questions aint tricky and quite direct on PLAB. Given both, usmle is any day harder and painful exam specially step 2 with brute memorisation. If u try to convince PLAB pathway is harder the mental stress usmle initial pathway puts you through is alot. Within one year you can get GMC registered its not the same with usmle, exam takes preparation, even for the people with strong foundation.

[@mohabdoon5898]

PLAB allows you to enter system, build your self and make some money to take membership exams which is tougher than USMLE. But USMLE you have to come fully prepared so it depends on one's conditions, find out which suits you the best and commit to it's path.
