  • When you consider moving to a new country like the UK to work as a doctor, you will have some expectations about your new life and career.

    The most common myth in an NHS Hospital is that they want to see you restored to full health before walking cheerfully out of the door.

    SHO jobs particularly in surgical fields like orthopaedics are the worst- continuous bleeps during calls, not allowing to concentrate on the work.if it is a large hospital-you had it-you have to run from one ward to another in every corner of the hospital,making on calls a nightmare.And the worst part it -you learn nothing in your surgical field after all the hard work as an SHO.

    Hello! First of all i like your videos thank you so much for making them . I am an 1st year mbbs student and i am looking forward to work and study in uk after my internship. So is there any chance that after 4 to 5 years the rules and selection process will be changed for IMG's or more IMGs migrating to uk or something like that?

    • @SumanPaulDoc

    I've heard that during training as a junior doctor in UK, you have to move house every year as you get assigned a different hospital every year. Is it true. Can you make a video on how a doctor with a family manages to move houses so quickly? What affect does that have on their health and personal life?

    • @SumanPaulDoc
      @SumanPaulDoc  Рік тому

      We rotate in different hospitals every 6-12 months- that's correct. However I never changed my house throughout the duration of training. I doubt anyone moves their house with every rotation.

      Quality of training and lifestyle is variable depending on specialty. I don't have any idea about US training. I don't think any IMG have realistic chance to become an ophthalmologist in the UK or US so choice does not matter.

      You can get ENT jobs after MRCS. However AVM is a medical specialty in the UK (post MRCP) and available in very few centres. If you really want specialised short term experience then you can approach the centres directly for short term attachments (unpaid).Best to try this after MRCS and settling down in UK.
