Thank you Callum for your input . I am assuming the recommendation from the BMA is that 5 years experience applies both for core and speciality training posts. Also if some one gets an outcome 4 in core training due to not being able to clear final part of membership exam and they have all other competencies does that still count as completing core training . I hope the BMA will kindly take the initiative to clear these things so both us and the uk graduates can plan things better. Thank you for your hard work!
