    Loved this video. I was planning to use USMLE for GMC but the only thing that was stopping me was the duration of training required for Cardology, specifically for interventional and heart failure. As it turns out, the time required in both the US and UK is comparable (6 vs 6). I was searching youtube for any videos that might give me a practical approach towards my cardiology training goal. I can see all the effort that went into this video. So, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    Hello dear Dr Ibrahim and Dr Ibreez and thanks for all the effort. I want to ask a question about the possible paths for someone who is already a consultant cardiologist in their home country to become a cardiologist in the UK? And is it possible for them to do advanced fellowships (interventional cardiology for instance) without having a Uk CCT in cardiology. Thanks and Allah bless you

    Your first concern would be about how you would get GMC registration. The rest can be looked into quite easily but the biggest hurdle would be registration itself.

I have come across various routes of getting into the UK system to practice as a doctor(in my case a Orthopaedic surgeon) One such pathway is: CESR-CP Foundation Training Core Training Higher surgical training If all the criteria required by the GMC for an internship has been fulfilled by me, can I skip the foundation training for 12months, via this route to apply to become a consultant doctor starting from Core Training directly?
