Hi There,

So are the 50% indian doctors working in UK! You wont feel lonely

Register for a good PLAB
2 course. Hurry as you might not get the dates. Send form for PLAB
2 as early as possible. Start practising OSCE
questions.

what certificates i need to obtain
from the college |
MBBS certificate
Internship completion certificate
State medical council registration certificate
Any honours certificates

Instead of testimonials, talk to your consultant to provide reference when the UK hospitals will ask for them, [usually by email or fax]
They can work for one year but dont worry, you will get UK referee once you do ur clinical attachments

Good idea! Gives you money and experience both.

Try teaching hospitals. Otherwise anything can do!

dept. ? |
The biggest misconception! Psychiatry
is currently the most difficult to get in UK! You need experience and there are too many indian PGs competing for that. You stand feeble chance. There are 300-500 applicants in Psychiatry
for each 2-3 jobs in a hospital. Think, weigh, decide! You will have to wait for an year or so, if you want Psychiatry
. Also it require high quality of communication skills. If you dont have, you will feel suffocated in the brach even after getting it!

it's nice to find an examiner interested in posting messages (if really he's an examiner).
probably we can have a bettter chance of knowing what is required of us in PLAB
2?
