Courageous..lindsae. I have a q. though ? Why are u leaving the UK for the US ? Im asking this bec. a while back i was thinking of changing directions to the UK. However i always get discouraging comments from friend s who are already there telling me how difficult it is to find a job. So what exactly is the deal with the UK.

Another Q. Seeing that ur done with the exam, step 1 to be exact how much emphasis wouldu put on solving Kaplan Qbank.....prior to the exam. My exam is on the 29th , 2 weeks to go & thats pretty much the only thing i do.Or I can do. I get to restless sitting down to actually read anything from any source. So am I alright. Or am i doomed.

Laura, do you mean First Aid books? They were the only 2 books I used as well as Kaplan Qbank 1 month and i did the NMBE practice test.
Kickinit, I have finished my training in Paediatric Critical Care and have a job in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a year to gain more experience. I have worked in Canada for a year also and going abroad is great for a different experience and I highly recommend it. UK is really good for clinical exposure.
As for the exam, Kaplan was all I had and I did the questions everyday as well as read my First Aid books(minus the Biochemistry section). I spent more time on Microbiology and Pharmacolgy as I thought were high yield but was disappointed when no questions on Lyme Disease came up!
Best of Luck

Sweet... then I guess I just need to read thru first aid & solve somemore q's. How reassuring.
Lindae...another q. ....i know , i know.... q's q's...Im really sorry for being a pest .But its always nice to hear from someone whos been there & done that.In ur last messages u said u worked in Canada & ur going to work at Anarbor MI. And i know how having US experience is def. a plus when seeking a residency. My Q...What sort of work can one get without a US licensce .Do u mean research ...Or Is it an Observership . And if its not too much to ask...how can I find such an oppurtunity.
P.S: Where can I get a hold of this NBME practice test. Is it free ?Is it online?
Thanx ALOT for all the help.

I was a clinical fellow. With UK qualifications you do not need a licence for up to 2 years in a recognised post if they want you. Unlike the US which is why I needed the USMLE to get a visa.
The NMBE website has the test fro $45. No answers just your score.
