Many IMGs focus on passing PLAB or another qualifying exam—but did you know that your test scores alone aren’t enough to satisfy the GMC? 🤯 Whether you’ve taken PLAB, hold a PG qualification, or passed USMLE, you’ll still need to back it all up with solid clinical experience and training. From internship structure to gaps in practice, here’s what really counts—and where most doctors miss the mark. Let's talk about it!
✅ Here’s what the GMC looks for beyond the exam:
12-month internship (min. 3 months Medicine + 3 months Surgery)
No long breaks—or strong evidence you kept skills up-to-date
CPD, certificates, clinical attachments to show recent practice
Observerships don’t count—so what does?
💬 Have you started gathering your clinical evidence? What route are you using—PLAB, PGQ, USMLE, something else?
