Why I chose UK over US as an Indian Doctor

Like many IMG doctors, I contemplated between the US and the UK. While the allure of the US is undeniable, I gravitated towards the UK for several reasons. Firstly, the UK offers a more adventurous exploration of medical specialties. Unlike the US, which is more restrictive, the UK allowed me to experiment in diverse fields, like Colorectal surgery and Emergency Medicine, akin to "dating before marrying." The pay structure also drew me to the UK. While salaries might not seem gigantic, when you consider hourly rates and the bonus 'locum' shifts, they are quite competitive. Not to mention, the conditions for residents in the US can be grueling with the hours they put in, often leading to lesser pay for more work. Additionally, the journey for an international medical graduate is simpler in the UK. The USMLE felt like a mammoth challenge, while the UK’s PLAB was more approachable. However, PLAB will soon be replaced by the UKMLA, an exam designed for both UK final year students and international graduates. I'm even working on a project to help students navigate this transition, so keep an eye out for that! Then there's the unparalleled flexibility the UK offers. One can seamlessly transition between specialties, making the experience feel like a “medical playground”. And let's not forget about the location benefits! The UK, especially London, is a travel lover's dream. Proximity to Europe, affordable flights, breathtaking landscapes, historical sites, and a vibrant culture make it ideal. The connectivity, with London boasting six major airports, is just the cherry on top. In conclusion, my decision to move to the UK was personal and tailored to my desires and goals. It's not about advocating for one over the other, but sharing my journey and reasons. I'm still exploring, and who knows, the US might be on the cards in the future. Stay tuned for more of my adventures and upcoming announcements, especially for those considering the PLAB/UKMLA transition.
