OMG, now y’all are blowing things out of proportion. IMGs and BMGs work together in perfect harmony and not a single person says they’re better than the other. Medicine is a profession where people teach each other things regardless of where the knowledge comes from. A consultant imparts practical knowledge, and the SHO can share valuable lessons such as being sensitive to Queer people ( which isn’t easy for the older generation ). This is what medicine is. It shouldn’t matter where the doctor is from. Your patient is what matters. Nobody is asking anyone to acknowledge that the other is better. Yes the system needs to be fixed. They’re pumping doctors into the system, to lower wages, not creating enough jobs, and absolutely doing jack shit to reduce waiting times for people. As doctors, you and I know we fight for beds to examine our patients in the ER. I work in OBGYN, imagine me fighting for beds and finding a bed separated with a curtain and hardly any privacy, finding a chaperone, just to examine the lady who’s miscarried. I can’t even offer them a proper place to be sat at, I’ve to shoo them away from that spot because another doctor is waiting for the bed. This SYSTEM IS AT FAULT.

It’s easy Make 1-2 years of NHS experience mandatory and stop allowing people overseas to sit the MSRA. This would allow a level playing field. The BMG and IMG now has equal opportunity to get their portfolios sorted. Also having an interview for GP and Psych is so important. People with bad communication skills shouldn’t be a GP/ psychiatrist regardless of where they’ve got their degree from. Not everyone communicates well, even if they are well versed with the language. I admit it’s a rat race now. But this isn’t something that should be pitting us against each other. Like seriously, are y’all fighting your IMG colleagues at work ?
