MRCP is not needed to apply for IMT. Most doctors do MRCP during IMT training. After FY2, you can apply for IMT.

Do electives are important in my cv ?

Not really. Things like audits, quality improvement projects, posters, presentations, papers, research is more important. If you do those during your elective, it is relevant.

Hi, thank you. The salary will be based on the NHS pay scale. It will also depend on your grade and the hours you work. You can find the NHS pay scale here www.imgconnect.co.uk/news/2019/06/nhs-doctors-pay-scales-in-the-uk-explained/59#Consultant%20pay%20scale:%C2%A0

Hi Dr Lavnya, thanks for all the informative videos! I am a medical student from India, and I was wondering, how difficult is it for an IMG to land a surgical post like neurosurgery in the UK?

[@lavnya70]

Hi, neurosurgery can be quite competitive but it is still possible for imgs. You need to have a strong cv/portfolio to apply.

[@theladbros]

@@lavnya70 thank you! It would be amazing if you could make a video on how to strengthen your CV, as many of us IMG's aren't too familiar with it. Thank you soo much for all the helpful videos! 😊
