There are lots of doctors who have succeeded with PLAB even after long career gaps like yours. In the immediate 12 months of application, I have taken 15 weeks of employed, paid vacation leave. I received my GMC registration through the sponsorship route and I am already accepted to complete a 1 year fellowship in a London Hospital.
Is it possible to stay in the UK after my fellowship ends and get a job somewhere else with this route?
Or my registration will only work for this fellowship? Hi there, yes. GMC registration will not be revoked after fellowship. I wanted to apply for my provisional GMC number now but I am scheduled to finish on 21st August Can i apply for the GMC number before I complete my degree? Hi there, you do not need provisional registration or a GMC number in time for the eligibility window. Hi there, since this is all new, we have no idea yet how the GMC is going to handle this, but they are usually lenient with circumstances outside of your control.
For eg, even UK medical students did not complete their final year of medical school or take their final exams this year but they will be starting internship next week as planned. Best to contact the GMC directly for advice. Please let us know what they say! Hi I had 2 years 24months continuously internship programme just after graduation and getting medical licence.
It contained 2 months general surgery in the first year and 1 month obsterics and gynecology in the second year. I did 3 months surgery in total but they were not continuously.
This is because our hospital programme did not allow 1 year doctor work in obsterics and gynecology department. No single gap during the internship and after internship, I had 10 years more experienced in medicine in my home country without any gap.
I cannot take internship in my home country to cover 3 months surgery and I do not think I can get fy1 job because I have too much experience. What should I do..
I am worried. Good day … This is me Dr. I will be so glad if you guide me on how to get engaged or join the UK market for overseas GPs doctors… I am determined to make use of my vast experience in the UK.
Hi there, the requirements to work in the UK are essentially the same as anyone else. I mean do I need to add an Employer Reference Form for it? Hi, since a lecturer is not seeing or managing patients it is considered non-medical as far as I know and you will need an Employer reference form.
You can contact the GMC to confirm. Kindly help pls. Can I work as a general doctor whitout speciality to get a salary while prepare to get a surgical training in UK. Is it possible to get a surgery training after a long break? Beside that im 43 years old What would you think will be the best pathway in my case? Thank you very much for all the help you provide. Hi Cecelia! To answer your questions: 1.
Please contact the GMC directly to confirm. Generally no, all jobs are in a specific specialty. The most general job you could probably apply for is in an Urgent Care centre. It depends on what surgical specialty you want to pursue, some will deem you overqualified for training eg. General Surgery 4. I have just gotten my MD. I transferred from one caribbean medical school to another before clinicals, to do Clinical rotations and electives within the UK.
I have been totally devastated to find out that I am coming up short on some clock hours. I was wondering how to proceed and what options I have to getting additional clock hours? Hi there, sorry to hear that, must have been a big shock.
Unfortunately we are not familiar with this problem or how it can be dealt with. You may need to go back to your medical school and request further rotations to increase the hours. We recommend joining one of the IMG groups on FB to see if anyone has had recent experience with that and find out how it was handled.
Relevant Facebook groups are listed on our Useful Links page. Best of luck, hope it works out! Hi sir hope you are fine. Waiting for your response.

Academic or General? Will medschool years be accepted for the 5 year count for the activity record? Hi, Thanks for the post.

Hello Dr. Tan, I just wanted to confirm if the Certificate of Good Standing needs to be valid just at the time of applying for registration or till the time approval is granted? As far as we know, it should be valid at the time of applying for registration. Please double check with the GMC directly! Hi there, i am interested in radiology training. Secondly, I have been graduated from english speaking foreign medical school and have been working in USA for 2 years.
Best to check with the GMC directly. Hope it all works out! Hi, I booked plab2 nearly 1. I am short of 18 days for the 6 months in recent 12 months criteria for GMC registration. Otherwise I have been working for 7 yrs prior to that.

Best to ask them directly for advice. Hope it works out! Hi Nick, thank you for the article! I do not have a post graduate qualification. Dear Tan, Thank you for the great effort, information, and answers to all queries. I am an orthopedic surgeon who did my medical education and residency in Pakistan. Currently, I am in the USA for a clinical fellowship.
I passed the MRCS I am applying now for the GMC registration. I will submit a letter from my current supervisor in the USA.
The issue is I am here in the USA under his direct supervision for the last 19 months only. Before coming here we were working on research papers. Do you think this will be considered by the GMC or they will be very strict about the complete 24 months of employment in the USA instead of the 19 months?
Before that, I was a resident of orthopedic Pakistan. Will that overlap of experience creates an issue? Details of dates below:. Orthopedic residency Pakistan JanDec English letter from my employer in USA junejune these 2 years considering 5 months research work with him while in Pakistan and 19 months in the USA in clinical fellowship.
You can notice there is an overlap in both experiences. Or should I just submit it as a 19 monthl employment letter? But having said that, they take every application into consideration individually so they may consider your situation.
The best thing is to give them a ring and discuss the situation. They can advise you further. Hello Nick, Thank you so much for putting up this blog I find it very helpful and informative. I am in the process of GMC registration and I have one dilemma with regards to the consultant report form. Do you know what could be an alternative for that?

Best to ask the GMC directly for clarification. Please update us on what they say! Just a question. I read in the guidelines for the foundation year that they only consider IELTS to be valid if i sat for it on the 3rd of august or onward which is two years before the exact day the fy1 actually starts there, not the application.
However, i did mine and got all grades needed on July 20th. Will they refuse it and consider it unvalid by that for only 14 days difference? Do I really have to retake it in a date starting 3rd of August? Hi Dr. Nick thank you soo much for Your great explanation.
TIA Elyas. Hi Nick Thank you so much for this informative blog. I find this process so confusing. I am a British citizen but graduated from a medical school outside of the UK. Am I eligible for GMC registration? Of note, I have not been in clinical practice for one 1 year. I appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Hi Sam! If you have been out of clinical practise the over the past year, then it appears you would not be eligible.
Best to contact the GMC directly for further guidance. But do I need to get the employer reference form filled during my internship as an alternative to CGS? You just need proof of your internship with the dates of all your rotations this is required whether or not you have a CGS. If the GMC asks for it later on, you may need a letter from your hospital stating that registration is not required for a pre-grad internship. He meets almost all the criteria.
But given that one has to get the registration and license to practice within 3 years of post-graduation, is he still eligible to apply for GMC now? Best to enquire directly with the GMC to get an official response. All the best to him! Newly grad IMG. Thus trying to circumvent basically.
