2 questions: 1. If you are not from the UK and you graduated from an EU medical school do you still need to take PLAB? 2. Is General IELTS accepted for UKFP?
sir the medical degree certificate , does it required to be verified by epic prior to the eligibility application or that can be done during gmc registration only?
Thank you for the helpful information! I have one question: can the GMC also reserve a plab 2 spot for you when you're applying for the foundation Programme? In the same way they reserve a spot for plab 1. I've read that plan 2 spots are difficult to secure
Can we apply for fy1 and without being registered as a doctor in my own country , because I heared for gmc registration we need certificate of good standing ,
Evidence of your right to work in the UK (sponsorship can be arranged for those who are unable to provide evidence of their right to work). Can you please explain this? Do we have to find sponsors before applying for eligibility certificate?

There is something i would like to ask. Im not sure if gmc is going to give me provisional or full registration. Due to covid-19 there has been regulations on my internship. These regulations only shortened the time period in month-based but the content and curriculum stayed exactly the same as before because of the additional work hours and weekend calls. I will graduate on this June and i want to apply for ukfp 2023 in july. So my question is how the ukfpo knows if i am eligible or not because they are not asking for an evidence of internship? Do i need to appy to gmc before i apply to ukfp?
@@RoadToUK Thank you so much for your response. But it is stated that u need to submit right to work for the eligibility application. That is way before u are given a job.
I am still in the process of being verified by the GMC to sit for the PLAB exam without the need for IELTS or OET. Can I still submit my eligibility application without booking a PLAB 1 seat while I’m waiting for the verification? Also, I don’t have the right to work visa so I don’t know what to put on the application. Thank you
Dear dr. Ivan, thank you a lot for this video. I have completed my Eligibility Application for UKFPO 2022 on ORIEL a few days ago but I feel very nervous that for some reasons I won't be accepted. For example something that is making me super anxious is that I realized that I made a mistake while splitting the scanned documents I needed to upload, so on the passport section I mistakenly uploaded the entire pdf file containing my passport scan (on the first page), the Dean's Statement (second and third page) and the IELTS certificate (fourth page). The Dean's Statement and the IELTS code were of course also uploaded in the right sections. Do you think this will be a problem? Should I send in another application form to correct this mistake? I already wrote an e-mail to the help desk but they weren't helpful. Thank you so much and have a great day!
Hello Sir thank you so much this was very much needed video! i have 2 questions, i''ll be graduating in 2023 can i apply for elligibality in 2022?

Getting plab seat is really tough and already closed for this year! So even if ur eligibility letter gets accepted u have to wait until next year for plab. I am also graduating in 2023
In order to join UKFP 2022, the latest date at which at which you have to take PLAB 1 and pass is on November 2021. You won’t have enough time to book and complete the rest of the exam (PLAB 2) and get registration if you don’t pass PLAB 1 in the exam of November 2021.

If you have applied for full registration and have been denied on the basis of that, you can obtain provisional registration and on the side apply for UKFP.
How about us medical graduates that passed USMLE step 1 step 2CS step 2CK and step3, to what level can they apply? in the us they finish 2 years of medical rotations. is this equivalent to the internship requirement?

If u complete internship at your country, u will not be eligible to apply for UKFPO as a F1 doctor. However u can apply for F2 standalone with is a different process.
Hello doctor , This video was really informative but sir I have a doubt I will be graduating on June 2022 is it possible for me to apply for the UKFP on that year itself
Well seeing how it's been a fixture for the past decade or so, it's more than likely to be. The times it had to go, it was necessary for my, my family and my patients' safety.
Graduated in 2017 (6 years med school) as a non-EU IMG. Haven’t done internship except the one at med school. 1. Do I qualify for UKFP and provisional registration? 2. Do I need to take PLAB before I am allowed to FY1?
Thank you for the very informative video. I had a question regarding English Proficiency, Can you also not prove English proficiency by the Dean’s letter? “Your Dean can confirm in the Dean's Statement ifyour primary medical qualification (including the language of instruction, examinations and at least 75% of clinical contact with patients) has been undertaken solely in English” - from UKFP eligibility guidance 2022 And also if your medical school does not belong to the restricted list? So the dean just would tick the 3 boxes on the Dean’s Statement. Would much appreciate your guidance?
Yes. It can be proven that way but 75% interaction with patients in English in a non-english speaking country? It's neither believable nor acceptable even if your dean says so. So, yeah, if you graduated from an English speaking country then by all means you can get that signed off and then no requirement of IELTS/OET.
Yes my medical degree is from St. George’s University in Grenada in the Caribbean which follow the US medical system , with the last 2 year of clinical placement of the degree within the NHS in the UK
@@RoadToUK I had my basic science done in Carribean island as my med school is in curaçao and clinical rotations in USA , will I be exempted from this and dean statement would be fine to be accepted ?
@@NikitaBanjan yes my deans letter was approved, I’m almost through my F1 year in the UK, and they accepted my Dean’s letter as my university which is in the Caribbean has all of its course in English and even have rotations in the UK but as long as it was on my dean’s letter it was fine, let me know if you have further questions
Hi Dr Ibreez and Dr Ibrahim, I’m Lydia, an IMG from Malaysia. I graduated in December 2020 and am planning to continue with masters prior to starting my foundation. I’m aiming for UKFPO 2023 entry. I’ll be 28 years old by then. Is there an age limit to this? I’ve read online that there’s no age limit, but graduates whose degree and foundation has more than 3 years gap will be required to sit for Clinical Assessment Test. Is there any information on this?
If there is more than 2 years gap between UKFP starting and graduation you 'may' have to go through a test called national clinical assessment. Your eligibility application will decide whether you need to or not. Please watch this video- ua-cam.com/video/s6ypty-gw_s/v-deo.html
Would senior doctors teach us/ give clinical advice during foundation years? There are still lots of thing we don’t know even if we pass plab2 so I’m worried about it😥

I have graduated in 2019 from China and due to covid situation, I came back to my country, passed license exam here and is currently started internship. i am preparing for plab 1 , eyeing to book dates on February 2022. i would like to know if i complete internship here, would i have to sit for National Clinical Assessment and also need eligibilty application?
If u complete internship at your country, u will not be eligible to apply for UKFPO as a F1 doctor. However u can apply for F2 standalone with is a different process.
If you complete an acceptable pattern of internship, you're not eligible for UKFP.
Hello doctor ,
This video was really informative but sir I have a doubt I will be graduating on June 2022 is it possible for me to apply for the UKFP on that year itself
Yes
U can start, however u will need to wait for the 2023 guideline for the dates specific to that years application
Thank you much appreciated 😊
You can apply for the eligibility.
Thank you so much for the information. I will be taking the IELTS, which one should I take, Academic or General. I'm so confused
Thank you
Academic.
Hope the beard is permanent
Well seeing how it's been a fixture for the past decade or so, it's more than likely to be. The times it had to go, it was necessary for my, my family and my patients' safety.
Graduated in 2017 (6 years med school) as a non-EU IMG. Haven’t done internship except the one at med school.
1. Do I qualify for UKFP and provisional registration?
2. Do I need to take PLAB before I am allowed to FY1?
Thank you for the very informative video. I had a question regarding English Proficiency,
Can you also not prove English proficiency by the Dean’s letter?
“Your Dean can confirm in the Dean's Statement ifyour primary medical qualification (including the language of instruction, examinations and at least 75% of clinical contact with patients) has been undertaken solely in English” - from UKFP eligibility guidance 2022
And also if your medical school does not belong to the restricted list?
So the dean just would tick the 3 boxes on the Dean’s Statement.
Would much appreciate your guidance?
Yes. It can be proven that way but 75% interaction with patients in English in a non-english speaking country? It's neither believable nor acceptable even if your dean says so.
So, yeah, if you graduated from an English speaking country then by all means you can get that signed off and then no requirement of IELTS/OET.
Yes my medical degree is from St. George’s University in Grenada in the Caribbean which follow the US medical system , with the last 2 year of clinical placement of the degree within the NHS in the UK
@@yanikanthony6341what’s the update on your eligibility application, were you accepted ?
@@RoadToUK I had my basic science done in Carribean island as my med school is in curaçao and clinical rotations in USA , will I be exempted from this and dean statement would be fine to be accepted ?
@@NikitaBanjan yes my deans letter was approved, I’m almost through my F1 year in the UK, and they accepted my Dean’s letter as my university which is in the Caribbean has all of its course in English and even have rotations in the UK but as long as it was on my dean’s letter it was fine, let me know if you have further questions
Hi Dr Ibreez and Dr Ibrahim, I’m Lydia, an IMG from Malaysia. I graduated in December 2020 and am planning to continue with masters prior to starting my foundation.
I’m aiming for UKFPO 2023 entry. I’ll be 28 years old by then. Is there an age limit to this?
I’ve read online that there’s no age limit, but graduates whose degree and foundation has more than 3 years gap will be required to sit for Clinical Assessment Test. Is there any information on this?
If there is more than 2 years gap between UKFP starting and graduation you 'may' have to go through a test called national clinical assessment. Your eligibility application will decide whether you need to or not.

@@RoadToUK Thank you so much for the reply! Your content is really helpful
Would senior doctors teach us/ give clinical advice during foundation years? There are still lots of thing we don’t know even if we pass plab2 so I’m worried about it😥
Of course! You'll be very well supported. If in doubt, this video is a good place to start: ua-cam.com/video/8ieJ7AqKvuM/v-deo.html
