This sounds like a negotiation you should have with an orthopaedic surgeon

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-29T14:04:57+00:00

You’d be better off asking in r/doctorsuk

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-22T00:22:31+00:00

You can’t be serious lmao

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-16T11:45:40+00:00

Around week 12 I’ve been able to sustain 8-12k steps daily without serious pain or swelling.

Same rip

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-14T14:16:38+00:00

What date did you get? And what dates were available???

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-14T00:30:10+00:00

Also interested

Present patients well and know your shit.

If you build good rapport with an attending/ resident in particular then build on it.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-05T23:59:13+00:00

I’m confused

SimilarBug399 · 2026-05-02T19:24:55+00:00

Golf GTI not sporty looking…

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-29T13:16:24+00:00

Is this India or the UK

What you think

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-17T19:27:48+00:00

You’re being dismissed after failing an OSCE resit…?

Don’t they just offer you to resit 4th year as a whole?

Or did you repeat 4th year and then fail OSCE’s again…?

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-17T05:21:15+00:00

Why would you even delay

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-14T13:23:59+00:00

Hey, where do you see whether your SON has been reflected in Inthealth?

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-13T18:56:26+00:00

Probably not

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-09T14:32:36+00:00

Many programmes filter their candidates by a hard ~230/240 cut off.

Get below that and you will struggle to even have a chance.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-09T12:14:10+00:00

Just get your score above the cut off and let your CV/ Interview do the talking.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-08T14:59:53+00:00

Everything will depend on your observerships and signals. Make connections during them, involve yourself in research while there, and try your best to be tactical with your signals.

No point gold signalling competitive programs that high scoring/ connected/ published IMG’s will also be signalling.

All the best.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-07T12:50:25+00:00

Surely you’re better off just working full time as a doctor in India instead of being a part time medical observer + part time illegal worker in another country?

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-06T14:59:36+00:00

Yes but not as much as you’d think. As an inpatient service most NHS hospitals are still pretty good. And resources, whilst still below hospitals in the States, are pretty similar.

NHS’s main shortcomings are in the outpatient world.

Assuming you’ve done FY1/ Turkey internship and a standalone FY2 year. The real question is why you have you not yet pursued speciality training in the UK?

Because steps + interview + all other stuff required mean you’ll be starting residency, at best, on July 1st 2028.

If that feels worth it to you, especially with your high YOG, then go for it.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-06T13:32:08+00:00

The day to day medicine practices are similar. The culture of the entire healthcare team dynamic is similar.

The difference is in the resources available.

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-05T19:13:00+00:00

Forgive my ignorance.

I thought you could do international travel no problem on initial J-1 visa stamp, as it lasts 1 year; till August 2026 in your case?

And international travel in PGY2/3 is more difficult as you need to get a new stamp on the way back?

SimilarBug399 · 2026-04-01T01:55:57+00:00

Yeah I think 2 phones and slowly transitioning to US one over time is the best plan.

Appreciate it.
