Many IMGs hear about CESR and think, "Great, I can skip UK training and still become a consultant!" But is it really that simple? While CESR can be empowering for experienced doctors, the reality is far from easy. It’s not about how long you’ve worked — it’s about what you can prove. Think logbooks, reflections, MSF, teaching, audits, mapped perfectly to the UK curriculum. And while some Trusts offer full CESR support, others don’t even know how to spell it.
Why IMGs choose CESR:
âś… Skip formal UK specialty training
âś… Keep working and build a portfolio on the side
âś… Recognises international experience
But here’s what CESR demands:
🧾 Evidence for every capability in the UK curriculum
⏳ 2–4 years of documentation
🏥 Supportive Trust or complete burnout
Before jumping in, ask yourself:
Does your Trust support CESR?
Is your specialty CESR-friendly?
Are you prepared for years of portfolio-building?
