If you are an overseas doctor graduating outside EU thinking of working or taking training in Hospitals in UK you have to be registered with GMC. Unless you qualify for ODTS you have to pass PLAB to do that. It is a two-part exam. 1st part is a 2 hour written question and you need to answer 200 extended matching questions (EMQ) in 3 hours. 2nd part is a 14-station OSCE exam

What to read?

 Got a plan?

 

Oxford handbook of Medicine( update)

Oxford handbook of clinical specialty

Oxford handbook of acute emergency

Lecture notes on surgery

Aids to Gynecology and Obstetrics.

EMQ book from Pastest..

EMQ themes from plabmaster

EMQ themes from GMC (go to page34)

EMQs from onExamination.com

While taking preparation give emphasis on diagnosis, investigation and treatment. Etiopathology etc.  have less importance unless serve clues for formers. Consider OHCM and OHCS as bibles. Joining doctor's study club might be a good idea if you are in London. It's free and you will meet other doctors who are preparing. Only problem is they only meet once a week. 

 

What about OSCE?

Get questions from Overseas doctors or from Plabmaster and practice with friends ideally among 3 persons. One being examinee, another being patient and the 3rd one examiner.Also go through advice to the patients supplied by NHS or different hospitals. You will develop skills to counsel avoiding jargons
