Hey Ali, thank you for such an elaborate yet contained explanation of the medical training in the UK. Having UK as one of my choices for medical training as a foreign medical graduate it really is nice to have this info panned out so I know what I'm getting myself into after the entrance exams. Good luck on your journey !

I like this speed tbh it’s very concise and time efficient

Mate this was even incredibly useful as someone who's heading into FiY1 shortly, weird that I've never had specialty and core training explained to me during 6 years at uni lol, hope you got what you wanted in the end!

3 years later and he's fully stopped working in medicine. Crazy to think. By the way which uni/course were you on for 6 years?

Thank you for breaking down the routes in a simple way

This was brilliant, wonderfully straight forward, strengthened by examples, nicely illustrated. If only this had come along six months ago when I was trying to figure all of this out by myself, as a complete stranger to UK medical training, you would have saved me a whole day of frustration and bafflement. Really looking forward to the "what happens" video. And kudos for getting East Anglia!

Nowhere yet. I'm applying in June/July, but as a foreigner I needed to figure out how things work early on so that I would have the time to gather all the extra documents non-UK medical students need to be eligible for the foundation programme (English language tests, official translations, etc).

Holy shit....I wondered why I recognised you......you did a placement in my ward. Older age psychiatry. That’s all I’ll say. I’m planning on joining my medicine degree next year. The fact you made this video inspires me so much. Thank you!

Very helpful, thankyou. Keep posting such videos it is a great asset for students like us!

some of the worst doctors I've ever had in my life were the highest graduation standards from medical school. I have definitely learned over the years that the scores of a doctor definitely do not reflect on their ability to practice medicine

Your videos are really good and informative. The way you explain things etc. But If i have to choose one thing that would be you putting in timestamps in the description. Absolutely love those! 😅 Keep making awesome videos😁

Wow ! Haven't seen anything clearer than this. Thank you very much !

One of the most helpful videos on KZread!!

That's what I had been searching for ages..No one have ever made such useful video.👍

THIS IS SO USEFUL! RLLY NEEDED THIS!

This was so helpful and interesting! Congrats on getting into your first choice deanery. :) I found the stuff about the academic foundation programme particularly interesting - I assumed going down that route meant you were pretty much committing to a life of academia and excluding yourself from clinical practice but I'm glad to know I was wrong! Good luck with all the ranking!

This was so hlepful, can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have had entered into medicine with such amazing people making my life easier

ive lived in cambridge since i was 4, currently 18 and im moving for uni... been in and out of hospital for my whole life and ive relied so much on doctors to help me get better. Going up t aberdeen medical school, so excited!

Thank you so much for all your videos! They helped me immensely when preparing for my medical school interviews! Great work!

Appreciate the the video boss! absolutely insightful and helpful!!

Finally! Been looking for a video like this, you are a saviour

I'm researching how medical training in the UK works for something I am writing and this helped immensely, thank you!

Crisp and clear presentation. The purpose is served. I absolutely understood how medicine in UK works. My sincere gratitude for all the effort you've put in, in making this video. 💙

The age limits are so upsetting and intimidating to a mature student!

@@carebear8655 they're not extreme generalisations, I don't know what medical school you're at but most year 1 medical students in my year are indeed 18/19 yo. A few are older but the majority are late teens since we apply while in school, so it's accurate to say 24. Obviously unis that have a purely graduate medical course will have signicantly older students but either way no one really cares if you're 35 on the course because some people in my year are

This was really helpful to know where my sister is. She completed fy1 and fy2, then did a bit of CT but now she's taking a small "pause" and now is mid way through her cardiology PhD after much deliberation. She's planning on going back to clinical work after her PhD.

Ali, Any chance you could give a bit of a breakdown on expected salaries between those years? i.e FY1 upto st8 (consultant). Thanks

Interesting video! My cousin and uncle are GPs in Scotland and they're hella loaded. Looks like you'll be going the same path for sure.

Your videos are done so well, really like the easy to follow diagrams 👍🏽 won’t be at your stage for another 4 years, wonder if this process after med school will change much by then 🤔

Amazinggg video. All these options for specialities get me so excited. I am so nervous and excited to apply this year 😭😂

Really good video! Could you make one about the pathway for emergency medicine?

Great video! Could make a video in the future on how the FPAS score is determined. Thanks

Your videos motivate me so much

great explanations thank you so much!

Imagine going through 5 years of medical school, only to find out you can't work where you want. Must be pretty lonely having to move to the middle of nowhere to start a new job, not knowing anyone

great content. helped a lot. thanks:)

Great video, loved the illustrations - is there a specific iPad pro app that you used?

Could you also explain in a similar fashion how it would be like fr an international student who has completed MBBS. Aiming for PG in the UK

Hi Ali- you've helped me so much as a geriatric graduate pre-med! Thank you. What specialties are you leaning towards? Do good grades at med school guarantee you your choice of F1/2 placements?

Ali, Psychiatry is not run through training. It is CT1-3 and you have to reapply for SpR posts for ST4-ST6

it is really explanatory, thanks :) medical training lasts forever !!

Seems to be quite a similar system as it is here in NZ. Here you do a 6 year medical degree (1st year is a general health science year which at the end of you apply for medicine. If your grades and UMAT score are good enough you do the other 5 years of the degree). Then you work for 2 years in a hospital as a House Officer, before getting on a speciality training programme and working as a registrar. If you want to be a GP i believe you do 3 years as a House Officer before going on to work as a GP.

Really good helpful vid 👍

Ali thank you I’ve always known the exact route through the specialities but I was never aware of the regional rankings are FT scores required to apply as a Junior Doctor. North West London is where I want to reside in as an FY1, now knowing it’s the most competitive regions Pushes me even more to work hard.

Please do a video how accommodation works for F1’s in a complete new area far from home. Are they all renting privately or is there some kind of assistance from the hospitals?

Thank you for the video! It is so absolutely clear! I am actually applying to med schools now, and I was wondering how does which med school you go to affect your FPAS score (lol I'm not sure if I spelled it right). I've heard that being in the top half of a less known school is better than being in the bottom half of a super prestigious one... Could you please explain this? Thanks a ton!

I am 34 year old mother of 2, Immigrant from Pakistan. I learned the system ( NHS) the hardest way including visa extension, social & financial issues etc. I have now just join the GP training, another 3 years to go. When you join your FY1& FY2 it’s good to slightly explain, or go through portfolio ( also CBD and MiniCex), or Reflective writing & appraisal etc. It will be nice guidance to the the new comers, although now Naseer khan and omar alam blogs has helped a lot especially International Medical graduates. But your vlog is quick and to the point. Keep it up and stay blessed. MashaAllah. Just an advice. Thanks

World class stuff 💪💣🔥👊

What you said about the f1 and f2 and within those years can you choose the speciality to shadow during those 4 month placements or is it random

It was a great video, thanks

Can you please tell about overall cost of being a doctor in the UK? Plus what about the stipend in foundation, core training and specialty training?

Hi Ali, could you also talk about the Stand Alone programmes? And if there are any FY1 & FY2 equivalents in these Stand Alone programmes?

Thank you for amazing video! Would you mind telling me, is foundation programs free of charge? Would I receive salary during 2 years of Foundation?

It really depends on the country. Yes the path is too long, but in my country you can already practice as a general doctor after medical school (which lasts 4-5 years in my country) and board exam of course. You might earn that fully-pledged licensed doctor at the late 30's or early 40's, but you can start earning as early as mid 20's after passing the board exam. Some people just think that you don't make money unless you complete everything in your 30's, and it's completely wrong. In fact my brother who's now a general doctor shared that when he was still in med school, a surgeon told them to go directly into residency instead of practicing general doctor because you would be tempted with the amount of money you're earning (that's why some general practitioner doesn't want to go into residency anymore).

May Allah swt make your journey successful. Ameen

Thank you Ali for such a thought provoking video. I hope you could find some free time to make a video about WAST scheme.

Hi Ali, Do you think you could do a video about different academic routes? Thank youuu

Wonderful video, very explicative, may I ask you whether people from abroad follow the same process? Thanks a lot!

It was actually helpful

Is it hard for international medical graduates who are UK citizens do get into the foundation programme ?

What can you be allocated during the foundation years. Like is there anywhere I can find a list of all the things I would need to rank?

Thankyou so much!

1. I would like to specialize in either clinical microbiology/immunnology or pharmacology. How do I understand "competition ratios"? 2. is the whole medical specialty program pre-set? Or is it done in chunks, f.ex. after ST1 applying for an ST2 etc.? Thank you for the good video!

hi, what are the scope after completing of 2 years foundation program, if some one dont want to go for gp or speciality, can he be still practice as a doctor, what his position , a junior doctor?

Thank u very much for the video ali! Really helpful :) Could you make another video talking about the income and how all of that works after you're graduated? That would be awsome! Like and sub, keep doing this :)

Would speed at which you speak affect interview outcome?

Hey Ali, what if me and my gf apply for the fp, but we are given different regions in the uk ? I mean, is there any way we can still manage to work in the same region? We are from Argentina, we will apply for the PLAB tests first, and then for the foundation program. So we are still looking for valuable information such as you gave us in your video. Really hope to hear from you or anyone who might know how the application works as for which hospital and region to work in 🙏🏻

How is the F pass score calculated for foreign students (after we have passed PLAB1 and PLAB2)? Additionally- after having completed foundation year 1 and 2, can my "degree" get recognized in Ireland, as I would love to work in Dublin?

Does core medical training still exists? I think it's internal medicine training now (3 years)
