Should You Do Internship in the UK as an International Doctor?
The United Kingdom Foundation Program (UKFP) is the UK's internship for medical graduates. Does this mean that as an international medical graduate (IMG), you have no chance to apply?
Of course not! While there used to be restrictions in the past, it's now easier than ever for international doctors to enter into the UK internship pathway.
Still unsure? Let Dr. Ibreez help you weigh the pros and cons of this decision!

I heard there some FY1 Non training jobs for IMG with GMC registration but don’t want to quickly take the role and responsibility of a FY2 non training job…so they do FY1 non training so they can learn from the scratch rather than joining the FP.How true is that ?

36th view! Yeah! I appreciate your effort to IMGs 😄. If I may ask, what's your opinion on clinical attachment to gain NHS experience as a booster during job application, which I think isn't a paid attachment? How common is it for IMGs to get employed after GMC registration without NHS experience? As always, thank you for the encouragement. 😄

Hello, Dr.Ibreez. Thank you for your guidance. But I'd like to ask a couple of questions about pathology and Plab. So, I am an international medical student and after my master's degree in medicine in Ukraine, I applied for internship there for the "pathological anatomy" (which is an equivalent to pathology, if I'm not wrong). My question is: Am I able to apply for Plabs and register in GMC? Is my internship valid for GMC form of internship? I'd like to continue as a clinician in the UK rather than a pathologist. Or should I apply for the UKFP? (I'd need to pass the clinical assessment then). I'd really appreciate if you answer. Thank you.

Thank you for the great video. I did my medical school overseas and unfortunately, my home country ( Myanmar ) does not provide 1-year internship for foreign graduates and IMG who wish to work in Myanmar require a one-year internship certificate to sit for the medical licensing exam. As I have no plan to work in the UK in the future, I am wondering if it's possible to do FY-1 only to meet the requirement.

Hello Dr Ibreez, could you tell me If a student who has transferred to a different medical school in 5th semester , is she/he eligible for Gmc Registration?
Hello Dr.Ibreez. Thank you for your guidance. My question here is ; is it possible to get FY1 in UK? from what I’ve gathered is it is quite difficult and that is why people prefer doing internship in their respective countries and apply for FY 2. I’ve recently completed my mbbs in August but haven’t done my internship.. I want to apply for FY1 in UK .. do you think I’ll be able to get a seat there? ( PS: I’ve done my mbbs from china and have no clue if they’ll be calling us back for internship and the rules here in India keep changing for worse when it comes to FMGs.) Please guide me through ..Thank you

Does your internship meet the acceptable criteria? If it does, you can't apply for the UFKP.
My Internship is of 10 months which is unacceptable according to GMC. Should I opt for FY1, I have my PLAB2 in January. Can I apply in UKFPO for January 2023 intake? In order to get my Foundation Year started once I get my my provisional GMC Registration.
