How many years or hours of experience are required before appearing for the license exam in UK for a Postgraduate?

You typically need at least 12 months of clinical internship experience to be eligible for the UK medical licensing exam (PLAB or the upcoming Medical Licensing Assessment, MLA). This internship should be completed in a recognized clinical setting and is a key requirement for full registration with the General Medical Council (GMC).

Alternative pathways may exist if you have an acceptable postgraduate medical qualification or have passed an approved overseas registration exam.

Requirements and exam formats are subject to change. For guidance based on your specific background, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
