Thank you so much for this video. Kindly make a video talking about the pros and cons of going either to the uk or us in terms of cultural differences, mental health, and feeling welcomed.

The grass is always greener over there. It has a while since I took them. You need USMLE 1and 2 CK, plus TOEFL to get an ECFMG certificate so you can go to internship and residency in US. As far as I know, every IMG has to take internship in US. The minimum amount of years to become attending is 4 years after medical school, FP may be 3 years only. After residency, you need to do USMLE 3 to get your permanent ECFMG certificate and licensure. US internship and residency do not pay OT, so the pay is on par and definitely not $68k. I believe it is 40-50k range.

Thank you so much for this video,
Could you do a video on what influenced your decision to go the UK, rather than the US, Canada or Australia?

[Khan-mgbs]

An update with Canadian route will be great.... Weldon

The choice between USMLE and PLAB depends on your career goals. If you aim to practice medicine in the United States, go for USMLE. For the UK, opt for PLAB. Additionally, PLAB training courses with MedMoveUK can enhance your preparation and increase your chances of success in the PLAB exams.

Hello Dr Nosa, How are you? Thank you for the information. Really grateful! :) Could you please let us know if the PLAB1 format has changed for 2022?
2nd question: You mentioned that you can only get a F1 job with the provisional license: what is a F1 job?

Thank you

Very informative ! As at currently they have stopped taking The Usmle's in any format now you must take Step 1 before step 2 and as from next year 2022 it's now a pass/fail . I'm a medical student an IMG and I don't even know how I feel anymore cos as a Nigerian I've heard its very difficult to get matched especially when your not a citizen this is a major problem on t's own after paying plenty tuition fees and studying for this exams that's why I think a lot of pple are running towards the Plabs ...sigh life is difficult lol .

[marss]

Hi Dr Nosa I’m a medical student abroad from the UK.I have to take the USMLE in the future people are saying this is hard is this true?Amd to start preparing for it now ?

[tomisinbuhari]

Thanks Dr. For the info however I think you should be comparing USMLE and MRCP ( cos they both train you to become consultants) not USMLE and plab, cos for plab you are only working as a GP.

Good Evening, Dr
please if you're a specialist in Ghana, do u still start from being a junior doctor in UK??
Kindly help me with the process.

[hannahoppong]

Hello Dr
I'm currently practising in Ghana
I would like to know how useful is any of the 2 exams in getting to work in Canada or Australia or New Zealand

[alleycat]

I hope I'm not mixing up information but If one passes usmle and works in us for several years and decide to move to the UK do they have to take an exam again?

[Johmerdav]

Thank you for the informative video!

Is it possible that training longer cos the work hrs are less?

[Chala]

Thank you for the informative video..please can you tell me what is the easiest way to go australia.can I do PLAB and go australia by UK internship? Or directly through AMC?

[princesslolly]

Thanks Nosa ❤️👍 I was told you pay much taxes in UK than USA, Is It True?
