Can I qualify PLAB, get GMC registration, and what is the process after that in UK?
Yes, as an Indian medical graduate, you are eligible to take the PLAB exams and apply for GMC registration to practice medicine in the UK. First, ensure your medical degree is recognized by the GMC; if your degree certificate isn’t in English, you’ll need an official translation. You may also need to complete primary source verification through EPIC. The GMC will require proof of English language proficiency, usually through exams like IELTS or OET. You must pass both PLAB 1 (a written exam) and PLAB 2 (a practical OSCE exam). Once you clear both, you can apply for full GMC registration, which then allows you to seek employment such as Foundation Year 1 (F1) posts for supervised clinical experience. From there, you can consider further specialty training depending on your career interests. If you’d like guidance on any step, please reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
