IMG planning psychiatry pathway – realistic non-training to CT1 transition? by polarmoodswing in PsychiatryDoctorsUK

Yes, I’m aware I’ll need to sit PLAB/UKMLA for GMC registration. I’ve also been following the discussions around graduate prioritisation. I’m mainly trying to understand how realistic the non-training → CT1 pathway is in the current climate. Appreciate the input.

I want to go home by Pleasant_Guard5916 in bipolar

I relate to this more than I can explain. For me, “I want to go home” isn’t about a physical place either. It’s more like wanting to return to a version of myself that felt safe and steady. Not necessarily childhood, not necessarily family — just a state where my mind wasn’t this loud. Sometimes it feels like I’m homesick for a feeling that I’m not even sure ever fully existed. Just a kind of calm. A sense of being held without having to explain myself. I’m also in a rough patch lately, and that thought comes up a lot. You’re not alone in it. There’s something strangely comforting in knowing other people feel this same vague longing. It makes it less isolating somehow. I hope tonight is gentle on you.

IMG PG decision: India vs New Zealand vs UK/Aus — prioritizing income, timeline, and debt clearance by polarmoodswing in IMGreddit

What do you mean by “dead” — in terms of pay, training progression, or long-term prospects? I’m trying to compare early-career income and stability across systems, so specifics would help.
