Hi, there! Please introduce yourself!

Hi everyone!

My name is Kristy Polanco and I’m a final year medical student from Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) located in the sun-filled island of the Dominican Republic :dominican_republic:. I came across RoadToUK after browsing countless hours for answers about the process of entering the medical system of different countries. This platform was the most organised and clear in regards of the pathway to UK, so I stuck around :sweat_smile:. I fell in love with Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine and was surprised to learn that many countries don’t have a training program for this areas. The UK has been historically one of the main contributors in this fields and also has some of the best schools for this type of training.

I’m planning to present OET on September and hopefully book my PLAB 1 seat for November 2023 :crossed_fingers:t4:. I look forward to all the growth and learning this path will allow me and many others.

Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Im a member of Road to UK. I was wondering if your country has any medical internship programs that could be used in place of FY-1 and 2?

Hello, my name is Danielle (but everyone calls me Dani), and I am final year medical student studying in Ukraine, currently in UK at the moment because of the war.

I’ve been binge watching the road to UK YouTube channel and I was excited to join this forum to be around likeminded individuals who have the same goals.

I have always been interested in Obs and Gynae, but recently I have been interested in Anaesthetics from my work as a medical technician, and also Cardiology.

In 5 years time, I see myself in speciality training on my way to becoming a consultant.

Hello everyone
My name is Ayobami, Ayo is fine. I am currently in my final year of med school originally from Nigeria but currently studying in Russia.
I’ve been anxious considering I have very little time to plan and almost clueless plus the pressure is really crazy.
I hope with this platform my road to UK would be a walk in the park and glad to have a community like this.
I’m in a bit of a dilemma as whether to pursue Neurosurgery, neurology or Psychiatry if you ask me why? I’d say my favorite courses in med school so far were neurology & psychiatry; anything that deals with the human mind, brain CNS and the like.
In 5 years time ? honestly I’d start by saying I should be in the UK and everything else should follow because I’d rather just deal with the now .
Thanks.

Hello everyone!

My name is Alvaro, I am a General Practitioner full time job from México. I graduated in 2014 (8 years working as a General Practitioner), I have a Masters Degree in Sports Therapy and I am looking to apply for the PLAB next year.

I am interested in Sports Medicine but I would also like to hear more about being a General Practitioner in UK.

I think I would also like to have a personal 1 on 1 meeting in the future to clear all my doubts. I also see there are some mexicans in here so I would be really interested in hearing their stories.
