Expert Advice: Deciding Between PLAB or MRCP

In this video, I have explained how to choose the most appropriate exam based on your personal circumstances.

Hello sir, MRCP is an exam equivalent to PG degree in india with a lot more clinical exposure... My question is which are the subjects offered in MRCP ? Is it only offer internal medicine or also offer cardiology, neurology, nephrology etc which are taught as DM courses in India? Can anyone do MRCP on cardiology and practice here in India as a cardiologist ?
