- Welcome to a comprehensive guide for international medical graduates considering a postgraduate medical career in the UK. In this video, Dr. Suman, an Indian doctor and a respoiratory trainee in the UK, discusses the rapidly changing UK medical landscape, the scarcity of junior doctor jobs, and the increasing competition for training positions.
He shares his insights on the PLAB and MRCP exams, and advises on which might be the best route for you in the current climate. The video also explores whether the UK is still a viable destination for postgraduate medical training amidst a cost of living crisis and high inflation.
Dr. Suman also shares his observations on the changing job opportunities for international medical graduates in the UK, and discusses the challenges and opportunities in getting non-training doctor jobs as SHO or junior clinical fellow.
The video offers a balanced view, discussing both the scarcity of junior doctor posts after PLAB and the increasing opportunities, including CESR, for experienced doctors.

Radiology training in the UK for IMG doctors #plab #frcr
I have passed MRCP part 1... And doind MD Palliative Medicine in India....any advise for me....i will go for part 2 next year (2025). PACES slot in india is also difficult to get....so any advice for me.
Thabk you in advance
You can't do much about the long wait for PACES. Hopefully the examination capacity will increase in future.
Hello sir , Can we do Residency programmme in UK without MRCP/PLAB. as MBBS graduate from india ?
No
Hi dr suman....iam from Pakistan.....is it advisable for a fresh mbbs dr to clear both parts of mrcs without doing the pg training in home country and coming to uk to do all the surgical training in uk via cesr/ portfolio pathway? Like as in to do the entire training in uk with this route?
I don't think it will be possible unless they have training and experience from back home. You won't even get a registrar job in surgery without that.
@@SumanPaulDoc thanks Dr suman
Sir I am in my residency now in India,if I pass MRCP all steps,do I need to do speciality training again in uk to persue as doctor in uk?
Depends on your long-term goals
Hi dr suman,i recently come to Uk through spouse visa..i have 8yrs post graduate training in dermatology. I want to become a GP..which route is convenient for me PLAB or MRCP?
how could i use my training in dermatology from home country in UK?
You need PLAB, then CREST form signed and apply for GP training.
bachelor degree from 2 universities as I took transfer or migration but both universities are recognised by ecfmg am i eligible for plab?
Your medical degree will come from only one university. You should be eligible for PLAB if that university is recognised
I graduated in 2021 and got GMC registration in feb2024....looking for junior clinical fellow job in UK applied for 200 with 84 rejections and this video is just giving me panic attack .... although I regret the fact I should have done my Pg by now in India
Give royal college exams. Don't let your 3 years after internship go to waste
I just gave my plab 1. Although, I am also preparing for neet pg for backup
Hi sir..im an internal medicine doctor in india working for the last 6 years..can you let me know which is the best step for me next if i want to come to the UK..?
MRCP
Doctor I've already booked my plab 2 for September this year. Would it be better to cancel the exam and minimise the losses?
It's important to weigh your options carefully before making a decision. The situation might change in future. Keep an open mind and go for the option which is best for you.

Hello Doctor
How tough is the MRCP exams, especially PACES? If a person working as a medical officer in medicine practice well and attend 4-5 days of coaching classes available in India, would it be reasonably possible to clear PACES in the first attempt?
Please share your personal experience of how you prepared and passed PACES.
I have completed my mrcp part 2 written exam, waiting for my paces exam, I have 2 years training in internal medicine, can I get job there?
With completed MRCP, you should be able to get a job.
Hi
Sir i want to do GP training from uk.
Then what to do? Mrcp or plab.
Struggle is gonna he the same as you mentioned. 😢
You don't need MRCP for GP training
@@SumanPaulDoc that's what am saying I still need to do plab
I have postgraduation in medicine from India....interested in moving to the UK ....is the MTI pathway still feasible or i have to go through MRCP?
MTI interviews are not being held regularly but the pathway is still valid.MRCP is the most reliable option apart from PLAB
Hi sir. Iam MD Medicine in India. What is the significance of just passing MRCP exam (all 3 steps) after doing MD Medicine in India?? I don't want to come to UK, just want to pass MRCP. Is just passing MRCP exam (all 3 steps) sufficient for getting a MRCP label?
There is no added advantage in having MRCP if you hold MD for practice in India. Perhaps the perception of foreign qualification to enhance private practice. You will get MRCP (UK) if you pass all the 3 exams.
@@SumanPaulDoc Sir, once I clear all the 3 steps and get MRCP(UK) would I be eligible to come to UK for speciality training in coming 10 years or so. Iam asking this because currently I just want to get MRCP label as Iam not in a position to come to UK. Thanks and regards sir for helping a fellow Indian doctor🙏
Sir please reply.
@@Cooldude98810 yes, you can
Hii sir I have done MD Pathology from India and currently practicing as consultant since last 3 years . What is the best route for me if I want to settle in UK as specialist .
Complete Frcpath and then work as a consultant in the UK
Sir isn’t the Portfolio Pathway an option for me ?
can one do 1yr-2yr fellowship after MS and then return back to their home country
Absolutely! Many people choose to do a fellowship after completing their MS before returning to their home country. It can enhance your skills and knowledge in a specific area.
Sir i am final year mbbs student
I want to get job in Uk
Pls tell me which the best route for me on the basis of current situation of UK
Either its plab or mrcp
Both are fine. Jobs are not available after PLAB
Then how will I get job
Graduate with 2 yrs of experience. No home country residency. interested in IM. Can he pursue Mrcp or plab?
Both are possible. PLAB is easier as no need for specialist experience.
@@SumanPaulDoc I am interested in IM and have a work experience of more than a year. So is pursuing MRCP a option for getting a GMC registration and therefore a Non training/SHO job?
@@user-lg5sy3wu6n MRCP is definitely an option
@@SumanPaulDoc Thank you Dr.
Sir can you please make a video about the new changes in CESR route that you mentioned in this video?
It’ll be really helpful. Thanks.
