Hello Mam,
I did my medical studies in Ukraine and graduated and did a one year clinical residency in Ukraine in obstetrics and Gynecology, in Ukraine there is no internship but postgraduate training. I did mine only for one year does that count as a form of internship or clinical experience for the GMC?
Or should I apply for UKFPO? Im confused please help?

[thewiseguy]

Hello and thanks for this video and all the information!
Are you sure that branches of medicine (e.g. medicine etc) are included in the 3 or 6 months of medicine that is required? Or does this 3 month provision refer only to internal medicine?

[anintrovertgirl]

[mohammedobaidullahhussain]

Hello Mam and sir, I am an Mbbs graduate from china and I have completed half of my internship in china and due to Covid I had to return to my country (India) and after few months I completed my remaining internship. So I wanted to ask will it be valid and considered .? Please reply

[mithilaphatak]

When the GMC says the date of your completion certificate should "match" the end of your internship programme, do they mean the date exactly 365 days later or just close to when the programme ends? The next day for example?

Hello, can you please confirm if we can complete postgraduate internship in a country different from where we graduated from?

[nishathaider]

Hello ma'am. You video are really very informative but i have to ask you something. I am a student studying from Ukraine. Right now I am doing online classes because of war and everything. So will there be any alternative rules for us for clinical rotations.

[maryamalam]

Hi, I just wanted to confirm whether my 9 months internship in medicine (3 months general medicine, 3 months respiratory medicine and 3 months anasthseia) with 3 months of general surgery would be acceptable for gmc registration. Please give a yes or no answer. I'm really worried.

[sharishliyakat]

What if we took a break for more than 5 weeks (not continuously) during the internship due to some emergency? Will the internship be accepted by the GMC? Please help🙏

[marcelomarcelo]

12 months (or 12-18/ 18+) refers duration from start to finish (including gaps for exam periods/summer gap) or are we talking about 12 months in absolute days/weeks (for example 12 months of rotations in a total duration of ie 15 months because of obligatory gaps of the medical program)??

for example if you did 14 months but spread out in a period 19 months(because of two exam periods and a summer time off for example), do you need 6+6 months of medicine and surgery or 3+3??

[fatmafouad]

Hello Doctor, I transferred one time and for personal issues I will be transferring for a second time unfortunately. In total I will be into 3 universities. Will I be able to sit for plab or go for FY1 ? please help out <3 thanks for your kind work.

[ehtishamkhan]

Is a rotation of general surgery, Anesthesia, general medicine and radiology with 3 months each accepted by the gmc ? Along with that, will this 3 months of surgery and 9 months of medicine reflect poorly on someones cv that looking to pursue surgery in the future 🥺

[mehmetkaya]

Hello ma'am
I am from Turkey and currently I am implementing my internships.
May I do my 6 weeks of Paediatrics internship at another university's hospital at Turkey? Will it be an issue for FY1? Both my university and another university are approved by GMC. My university and professors will approve my request.
(Total duration of my internship is 12 months and consists of 3months surgery and at least 3months of medicines, and there is no interruption)
