hi,

i am new to this forum, i would like to know what we need to look into before making decision which one to choose, PLAB or USMLE.
Which one of them has the good chances of getting up job after completing the course. Which one of it take longer time in completion of the course.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Just out of curiousity which test is harder? I've heard that the usmle is harder than the plab, but since I haven't taken anything besides the usmle, is it as difficult???

PLAB I (and a bit of PLAB II) is way easier than USMLE....IMO.

PLAB is for getting certificate to work as a GP in UK, not for residency.

MRCP for internal med, MRCS for surgery and so on MRC... etc for different residencies.

Both of MRC.. and PLAB are much easier than USMLE, as I've seen, all the people just do the pervious tests and sit for the exams

I would say step-3 is in between mrcp-1 and mrcp-2(theory),Plab exam itsaelf is much easier,but what will you do after plab there no jobs being offered to FMGS' in UK!!!!
to take plab is completely useless for a foreign medical gradauates,USMLE is way much better.
