Since filming this video, the GMC now has a different list, this new list is a list of universities that will NOT be exempt from taking IELTS/OET so if your university is on this list, you will have to take IELTS/OET. Link below:

Thank you for the video. Pls can you talk about Canadian exams as well? If you can pls
Hello Dr Nosa, How are you? Thank you for the information. Really grateful! :) Could you please let us know if the PLAB1 format has changed for 2022?
2nd question: You mentioned that you can only get a F1 job with the provisional license: what is a F1 job?
Thank you
Thank you for the informative video..please can you tell me what is the easiest way to go australia.can I do PLAB and go australia by UK internship? Or directly through AMC?
Good Evening, Dr
please if you're a specialist in Ghana, do u still start from being a junior doctor in UK??
Kindly help me with the process.
Hello Dr
I'm currently practising in Ghana
I would like to know how useful is any of the 2 exams in getting to work in Canada or Australia or New Zealand
I hope I'm not mixing up information but If one passes usmle and works in us for several years and decide to move to the UK do they have to take an exam again?
Is it very difficult to get a job as an IMG without doing internship?
Informative
Thanks for letting me know! 💕
Are there any changes in plab in 2022
Pls l'll like to get the validity period between IELTS and plab2. Is it that you must pass plab2 within 2 years of writing IELTS or you must pass Plab 1 within those 2 years then another 2 years for plab 2?
Thank you for the informative video!
Is it possible that training longer cos the work hrs are less?
Must say you’ve made a very good point, never saw it that way!
The choice between USMLE and PLAB depends on your career goals. If you aim to practice medicine in the United States, go for USMLE. For the UK, opt for PLAB. Additionally, PLAB training courses with MedMoveUK can enhance your preparation and increase your chances of success in the PLAB exams.
Very informative ! As at currently they have stopped taking The Usmle's in any format now you must take Step 1 before step 2 and as from next year 2022 it's now a pass/fail . I'm a medical student an IMG and I don't even know how I feel anymore cos as a Nigerian I've heard its very difficult to get matched especially when your not a citizen this is a major problem on t's own after paying plenty tuition fees and studying for this exams that's why I think a lot of pple are running towards the Plabs ...sigh life is difficult lol .
Thanks for this updated information! Interesting you have to take USMLE step 1 before step 2 now! I was aware of the pass/fail and it can be a slight disadvantage to IMG’s because people used to try and score very high to increase their chances of getting matched. It’s hard to match in the US vs the U.K. where you’re almost guaranteed a job but it’s possible in the US! I know life can be tough! Sorry, this will pass! 🙏🙏🙏
no you dont have to take step 1 before step 2
The grass is always greener over there. It has a while since I took them. You need USMLE 1and 2 CK, plus TOEFL to get an ECFMG certificate so you can go to internship and residency in US. As far as I know, every IMG has to take internship in US. The minimum amount of years to become attending is 4 years after medical school, FP may be 3 years only. After residency, you need to do USMLE 3 to get your permanent ECFMG certificate and licensure. US internship and residency do not pay OT, so the pay is on par and definitely not $68k. I believe it is 40-50k range.
no the average pay is probably correct. some places pay more based on cost of living in that area. of course she quoted pays before taxes. i also think 100 hours is not correct as quoted unless the program is violating abim regulations. the average hours range from like 60-80. point is each place has pros and cons.
I have one question after getting Gmc registration how many time is required to find a job,
There’s no simple answer to this, some people get one immediately, some wait a few months, it depends on how proactive you are and how quick the trusts are in getting back to you 😃
Thanks Dr. For the info however I think you should be comparing USMLE and MRCP ( cos they both train you to become consultants) not USMLE and plab, cos for plab you are only working as a GP.
You’re welcome but the information you have is very false though about PLAB meaning you can only work as a GP. PLAB is for all specialties. GP’s still have to take the MRSA exam to enter GP training after PLAB, internal medics take MRCP before entry into internal medicine training (or some people do it during internal medicine training). Taking PLAB just allows you work as a doctor in the U.K. until you decide what specialty you want to go into then you take the relevant exams and apply for that.
Thanks Nosa ❤️👍 I was told you pay much taxes in UK than USA , Is It True?
Very welcome! Yeah apparently our taxes are higher than the US too 🤦🏽♀️
Hi Dr Nosa I’m a medical student abroad from the UK.I have to take the USMLE in the future people are saying this is hard is this true?Amd to start preparing for it now ?
So sorry to hear you guys complain deeply of failing the exam. But I will assure you that USMLE exam won't be a problem to you anymore,if you work with someone like Mrs ELISABETH HELEN. She help me through my exam and I made it through.
@Beatriz Diaz who’s this lady elisabeth??
@Mary Mathews who’s that ?
Really, you'll know her Too? I even thought I was the only one she has helped walk through the fears and falls of USMLE Exam, Mrs ELISABETH has brought me out of the trenches and to a better living, I encourage repeat test taker to work with her.
@@marss4030 After using uworld twice and failing, I never knew i could ever pass the USMLE but today I am very happy, I just passed my USMLE on my third attempt with a great help from Miss ELISABETH HELEN.❤️❤️
This is an awesome video. But the font type was a bit difficult for me to read. Other than that, I enjoyed this. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭❤️.
Pls I'd like to know if there's a different plab exam for dental graduates ?
Thank you so much for letting me know, really appreciate feedback like this. Lots of love and happy to see you here! 💕💕
@@DoctorNosa you're welcome 🤗. But I think you didn't see the question I asked 🙈🙈
Whoops! You’re right I didn’t see it, there’s a different exam but unfortunately don’t know much about it at all or the process for dentists
@@DoctorNosa sure sure. Thanks😊
