It was much needed! I also want to persuade my career in psychiatry in UK. Your videos have been much useful to me. Though I'm at undergrade level, Road to UK is one of the reasons that has made me focused on my Career by providing necessary information. Thanks a bunch!

i’m not an IMG (i’m a UK citizen + graduated from a UK med school) but this was still so useful for me, i just began F1 and am a bit confused about the multiple pathways!

[nishatallshahriar]

Thanks a lot ibrahim bhai for the video. Really appreciate the work you are doing. Best wishes.

[nathnaelwabera]

I really like the series on how to pursuit different PG programs, it has been an eye opener for someone like me who's preparing for PLAB. Can you please do one of your next videos on how to become Pathologist, that would be very helpful sir. Keep up doing the good work and best of luck in your work and study. 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾

[konstantinosmpatzios]

Great video! Only one correction: the combined programme awards a CCT at the end and not a CESR since January 21.

[nehalpatankar]

Thank you for this video! It was really informative and made a lot of things clear.
I have a couple of questions,
1) is the MSRA exam specific to psychiatry related questions or is there a common one with the entire medical syllabus?
2) Can we take gap years between each ST year, or at least between CT and ST to do other courses like an MSc?

[mazharulislam]

what does it mean to be not GMC endorsed?
