The Choice Between PLAB and MRCP
The PLAB exam (Professional and Linguistic Assessment Board) is a licensing examination conducted for foreign medical graduates who wish to practice medicine in the UK. PLAB is undertaken by the General Medical Council (UK) in several countries across the globe. International students can practice as a doctor in the UK without PLAB. One can practice as a doctor in the UK without PLAB by clearing the Royal College UK exams (MRCP/MRCS) as well. As an Indian MBBS graduate, the PLAB exam is a more straightforward pathway to practice medicine in the UK. However, PLAB does not guarantee job prospects and is merely a qualification exam. Upon clearing the PLAB exam, graduates can apply for a medical license and also apply for job opportunities in both the private and government sector.
