HI! MANY THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL. I AM GETTING PREPARATION FOR MRCP PART 1. IF I SKIP STATISTICS TOTALLY AND SCORE VERY GOOD MARKS IN OTHER DISCIPLINE WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO CLEAR PART 1?
Thank you for this video,definately feel more encouraged and confident to go for MRCP now. Regarding part 1 however,as an IMG,are question banks alone really enough? Also,do I need to know European guidlines to pass part 1?
Hi, thank you. Knowing the UK guidelines will definiately help. It will be more improtant for Part 2 and PACES. Part 1 is less clinical, more science. It depends on your studying styles, I suggest doing the q banks first, then reading around the topics you are unfamiliar with.
After MRCP, you can apply for GMC registration and work in the UK. The grade/job you are able to do will depend on your clinical experience in internal medicine.

Please help me with these questions Tia
Yes, if you can completed MRCP, you can use that to register with the GMC. After GMC registration apply for a non-training job in UK. After 6-12 months, apply for specialty training in your desired specialty. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme.

Hi, best to do MRCP while doing internal medicine training. I am not sure of the jobs prospects in India as I have not worked there. Sorry.
Thanks you for making this vedio
The one year of clinical experience which you have mentioned is it necessary that it should be from UK
No, it can be in another country.
Which books or question banks are required for MRCP part 1 and part 2?
I used pastest q bank for both.
Hello Lavnya! Can i apply and sit for the MRCP part 1 exam if i have graduated medical school 1 year ago but have not started my internship yet? Is an internship a requirement?
Hi, i think you need to have one year of clinical experience post MBBS to sit for the MRCP part 1.
Wonderful answers to common questions. I shall get back to you for few of my questions. Regards.
Hi mam!pas test is priced at 6k rs..is it the same one that u are referring to?
Hi, here is the link for the passtest website. www.pastest.com
Hi Lavyna! May I know which textbook u used for MRCP part 1 exam? Is it Harrison? Thank you so much for replying.
Hi, i actually didn't use any books. I used the qbanks only. I used my notes from medical school if I needed some reference.
Hello dear doctor
I am newly graduated student , can i sit for MRCP exam now
Or I have to complete my internship
You can sit for the MRCP after 1 year of clinical practice after MBBS.
Lavnya Balenderan thank you 😊
After mbbs in india after completion of internship am I eligible for mrcp ..or is compulsory doing post graduation ?
Hi, yes, all doctors can do the MRCP after one year of clinical practice after medical school.
Lavnya Balenderan thank you doctor
Mam who is eligible for mrcp exam?is it necessary to have post graduate degree
No. You can take the MRCP after 1 year of clinical practice after MBBS.

Anyway I am an old man with many many years of working experience in in top most hospital of my country.....Pakistan. I am thinking of MRCP but then i am also thinking of AMC Can you guide me like a little girl guiding Papa . please do reply dr arshad
Hi, thank you. I am not familiar with AMC. I have only worked in the UK, so more familiar with that.
Hello Doctor, thank u so much for ur this video, please answer my this question, I am MD and specialist of Ultrasound, so Should I go for MRCP or PLAB? Even though I have started studying for MRCP. But really need your suggestion, please let me know.
Best regards.
What specialty do you want to pursue in the UK? Clinical radiology?MRCP is suitable for senior doctors who wants to pursue the higher medical specialties like gastroenterology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology, renal medicine, respiratory etc. MRCP is not needed for other specialties like surgery, paediatrics, psychiatry, general practice, radiology etc.

So it means I should pass PLAB?

So Can I pass this exam? Or before MRCP I should pass Plab?
Hi, I found your video really useful. I'm planning on taking part 1 on 9th February. I have studied PassMed a couple of times. Do you suggest I book 9th Feb asap or do I need more time to study?
Madam which question bank is most useful for part 1
Hi, i used passtest. I found that the questions on there were similar to the actual mrcp questions.
hi Lavanya what are the books to read for part 1?
Hi Annie, I mainly used Passtest question bank for part 1. All the best for the exam.
hi.. not sure of part 1 mrcp.. should I do subject wise or random.. if i do subject wise by the time u finish i would have already forgotten most subjects but if u do random dont know how far the subjects will be consolidated? any tips pls.
I have done my PG in year 2012 in dermatology and it has been almost 10 years since I touched medicine or basic clinical sciences book...in your experience how much time will it take for me to prepare for MRCP 1 after such a huge gap of 10 years

Hi doctor. I’ve done my mbbs from India and 1year internship. Do I still need 1 year job experience to apply for mrcp 1?
Hi, i don't think so. If you have one year of clinical experience post MBBS, it should be good enough.
Lavnya Balenderan mam I don’t understand what u mean by post mrcp. I haven’t given any part of mrcp yet. Just started with the prep. I’m not working at present.

I want to practice in UK as MO ,I have done MBBS and MCPS residency in gyane obs ,exams yet not clear.
Which hospital n city would you suggest me to work with In UK with no financial issues, as I have my family with me and I want a smart pay and accommodation too?
Hi, probably best to avoid London. Northern parts are cheaper.
Some hospitals provide hospital accomodation but you have to pay for this.
Hi ma'am. Can I know the exam dates of mrcp for next year?
Hi, you can check the exam dates on the MRCP website. www.mrcpuk.org
do i need two years of training after mrcp part 1 TO TAKE mrcp part 2?
No, you can sit for MRCP part 2 after Part 1.
1)Mam,When are the exams in india held for mrcp 1 n 2 usually?
2)how many months before we have to apply for mrcp exam and which website?
There are 3 diets for each exam, usually around January, March and September.
You'll have to setup the MRCP account on the official website and the booking slots open about a month and half prior to the exams
Hope it helps

Hello mam. I am working as dermatolgist in my country. Is there any exam like mrcp for dermatologist which will enhance my academic profile
There are other exams if you are a dermatology trainee in UK. But I am not sure how useful it is if you are not working in UK. There are dermatology masters/phd that should be good to enhance your cv.

With regards to the limit, do check out the guidance on the MRCP website www.mrcpuk.org

Yes.
Hai saw your video was very helpful I have graduated mbbs from India currently pursuing my internal medicine residency in India interested in mrcp having some doubts
After clearing mrcp can we practise in UK???i.e. after gmc registration
If we want to apply for speciality like cardiology neuro or nephro what is the further steps ????
Please help me with these questions
Tia
Yes, if you can completed MRCP, you can use that to register with the GMC. After GMC registration apply for a non-training job in UK. After 6-12 months, apply for specialty training in your desired specialty. Most IMGs apply for a non-training post for 6-12 months before entering specialty training. This will give you NHS experience before entering a training programme.
Will they give stifend in non training job for that 6 to 12 months or else we have to be paid for that ???? How many days will it take for speciality programme for neurology can u please explain
@@saivenkat4282 All jobs in UK- training and non-training jobs are paid. You will receive a monthly salary. There is no fees for training.
Pathway to neurology-
To become a consultant neurologist in UK- After FY2 (1 year), apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years). During IMT, take MRCP. After IMT and MRCP, apply for higher specialty training in neurology (4 years). After that, you will be a neurology consultant and awarded a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
@@lavnya70 madam I understood u r explanation wanted information that if I complete my internal medicine residency in my home country and during my residency if I complete my mrcp paces and obtain a gmc registration can I apply for non training job for 6 to 12 months as u said and can I apply for speciality of my interest and can obtain a cct certificate after my completion of speciality ?????
