It's often suggested to have a 2year training period before sitting for MRCP Part 3, i.e. the PACES exam, however I read somewhere that it's 4 years for MRCOG. Are there such fixed training periods before the mrcog part 3 exam or you can sit for them when you feel you have enough clinical experience? Also, in case one doesn't want to take the PLAB route for GMC Registration and wants to start off with giving MRCOG part 1, how does an Indian medical graduate, with internship completed, get the 2/4 (please clear the duration and also if it is mandatory or not) years training advised before giving the PACES exam?
I just passed my MRCOG part 1 and plab 2 as an IMG,Can I apply directly for ST1 training or is it better to start at FY2.I’m writing MRCOG part 2 in July.
still waiting for a reply to my enquiry/question/query! I hope students will get a better picture of OBGYN speciality training in the UK through Dr.Sheena. thank you. :)
@@bdiresourcing5775 sorry, what I meant was, do I have to email BDI resourcing to get the details about Dr.Sheena's OBGYN training experience? please do let me know thank you.
Can you explain me , am really confused . Right after the fy2 do i need to give mrcp, mrcs, etc to get in speciality training? Even in obs and gynae, pshycatry , etc? Other than dermatology, cardiology, etc?
No you do not need to sit a royal college qualification at this stage - however you will need around 2 years experience to progress on to ST1. Once you progress to ST3 level, it is at this point you will need to take your Royal College qualification. We would advise sitting these exams as early on as possible as these provide you with the best job opportunities and career prospects within the NHS
hello, as I am interested in OBGYN training in the UK, can you please update us on Dr.Sheena's OBGYN training? will it be possible for me to email her directly? hope you can help, thank you.
Hello. I'm afraid we can't provide her contact details however you can certainly look her up on the GMC Register and take a look at her movement within the NHS. :)
Hello Shreya, Thank you for your comment. I think you may be slightly confused. Our Specialty Training video series is based on NHS training posts via Deaneries, not university master's. You do not need to pay to apply for NHS Specialty Training. You will get an annual salary based on your years of experience. Yes, a doctors salary is more than enough to live a very good life in the UK. All the best, Gabrielle
Hello Shenelle, Thank you for your comment. You will either need full MRCOG, which will allow you to work at ST3+ level. If you take the PLAB route, you will be limited to applying for ST1, ST2 and SHO (junior) posts. All the best, Gabrielle
Hello Shenelle, Unfortunately not. You will need to evidence your knowledge and skills via full PLAB or full MRCOG. As you are from Trinidad and Tobago, you will not need to evidence your English language skills via IELTS/OET. Regards, Gabrielle
In FY2 is it compulsory to do rotations in every speciality or can we choose the one’s we are interested in... cuz in this video she mentioned she did obs gyn GP and psychiatry
Hello Dr Priya, Thank you for your comment. There will be core specialties you will need to rotate within such as Emergency Medicine, Surgery and General Medicine. However, you will be able to choose the other specialties of your preference. All the best, Gabrielle
If you have your MRCOG and your OET or IELTS then yes you are eligible to enter into the NHS at ST3+ level. Of course, if you have no experience of the NHS or little post graduate experience you may decide to take on a more Junior role to begin with.
Hello there. The MRCOG exam is the best route for someone wanting to practice in this field in the UK. There are 3 seperate parts to the qualification and you can find out more via our Blog.

I am from Trinidad and Tobago which is in the Caribbean, but I have passed my Mrcog part 1. Do I still have to write PLAB?
Hello Shenelle,
Thank you for your comment.
You will either need full MRCOG, which will allow you to work at ST3+ level.
If you take the PLAB route, you will be limited to applying for ST1, ST2 and SHO (junior) posts.
All the best,

Thanks, for your response. Can I apply for ST1 or ST2 without PLAB? Or even a lower postion just with my MBBS and part 1 MRCOG?
Hello Shenelle,
Unfortunately not.
You will need to evidence your knowledge and skills via full PLAB or full MRCOG.
As you are from Trinidad and Tobago, you will not need to evidence your English language skills via IELTS/OET.
