Re: Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???Go ahead , do it..... chances wax and wane so don't sweat them. luck favours the prepared one. Be the one. you should be ready to cash in on any cropping opportunity when and where it comes your way. In the end , you will---I hope--- have least to regret and ---- I pray---- much to rejoice about.

Re: Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???
Varieties of future possibly available to those with MRCS have been discussed almost threadbare in above posts. Please read.
Being FCPS 'may' help you earn some respect in their eyes while competing for a position on the assumption that you are arguably more learned and better exposed than others in the 'ring' but you don't and will not have any legal status there on this very basis.
Consider US out of bounds for any aspiring surgeon who is foreign graduate unless with a (master)stroke of luck you clinch their green card and then boast flying colours in USMLE etc etc.
I don't subscribe to FCPS general surgery any more...There is a plethora of general surgeons already. Unless you are willing to be content and comfortable with the concept of living in some remote stretch of land serving humanity and yourself rest of the life, don't be just a general surgeon. You must go for some speciality or super speciality as you deem fit but of course you need to have a solid foundation in general surgery and therefore don't take a walk through their corridors lightly. This will determine your quality as a surgeon at the end of the day.
Hope it helps.

Re: Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???
I don't really know if there is any training program for vascular surgery being conducted anywhere in pakistan. There are many who brag about themselves as being vascular surgeons in their individual capacity but few who really are and no one is part of any such accredited teaching program. Actually CPSP is impotent as usual and as expected to this end thus far so question of accreditation in itself is preposterous whatsoever even if there were ever any such pipedreams. Ironically even training for those programes which are being so called directed by this "reputed" body, is at best pathetic despite their tall claims.
Anyways not planning to cast any gloom on your ambitions, I would suggest you to do your FCPS general surgery and meanwhile focus on your british channels for any prospective training in vascular surgery. For that you should start from scratch ,that is, do plab , MRCS, have standard publications in standard journals and then apply. Have faith in God with as unshakable will as devil's(sic) to make impossible , possible. Good luck.

Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???
Hello all,
Nice to see that lots of information are being shared here. I found some of them really very helpful.
I have completed MBBS in 2009. Can anyone tell me what opportunity I may get if I complete PLAB? I am willing to do my career in Surgery. Is that a good decision to sit for MRCS too? My aim is to earn a quite handsome money for my livelihood as well as to obtain a higher degree. I am looking for better suggestions as my knowledge about higher studies in abroad is very little.
Thanks.
Shamim.

Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???
Salam everyone.
This is an old thread but still very informative. So, can we get a non-training job after MRCS easily? like we get a job after plab? And, chances for getting a training job after MRCS & plab are same?

Re: MRCS Facts and Fiction???
Hello I am new here, I have been reading most of the posts here, today finally decided to register and ask a question.
I have completed my MBBS from Bangladesh, done with one year internship. Currently studying for MRCS A, InshaAllah I shall sit in JAN 2015.
Now my question is after completion of Part B, what things should help me get a training post in UK. We also have FCPS surgery in our country, and 2 years training is counted before passing part 1 of FCPS, if i do the 2 year training will be of any help in getting a training post?
If i do MSC in uk will this help?
Suppose if i do plab , will that help?
Can some one a clear path which i can follow ??
i believe there are many who have the same question in their mind.
thanks in advance
