    Assalam u Alaikum! Hope you're doing great. I just wanna ask some questions to clear my mind. 1) Does your PMQ marks count while applying for PLAB/GMC registration/training in the UK? 2) Do supplementary attempts count in the above mentioned paths or become a hurdle in your career at any time in the UK? 3) Asking about myself, I had a gap of 9 months after my one year internship as I got my first job after that. Now I'm having an 18 months clinic experience in my home country. Do those 9 months count as a gap? Your response is highly appreciated. JazakALLAH in advance!

Do you think it is worth it to go through all the process to get GMC registration?

    The reason a US IMG ends up in the UK is because of a failure to secure a US residency due to a combination of the following factors 1) low scores/failed USMLE steps 2) Going to a doctor factory Caribbean Medical school where you buy the MD for extortionate fees 3) Poor quality LORs that should be highlighted also. In any salary comparison whether by Medscape an attending in the US in whatever specialty will outperform their equivalent in the UK easily e.g neurosurgery attending on average in the US 600k+ imagine that in the UK unthinkable nowhere close. That is why US is always first choice for IMGs

    It’s not only about money everywhere else, it’s about the quality of life and the quality of the service provided, the US is a truly dreadful healthcare system that is all about profits instead of patients, it may be a way to get rich but that’s a poor motivation for a doctor.

    You'd probably be more happy working in Iran or Saudi, you'd fit in better there.
