I chose St Georges because it

has a antastic reputation and I

liked how the MBBS course was

organised. I also really wanted to

study in London, and I thought

the opportunity to study in an

actual hospital as opposed to just a

university building was a great way

to learn. My avorite aspect o the

course is the Case Based Learning

because I get a lot out o it and itsso un! I also really like how Clinical

Skills is taught rom the frst week.

in years one and two utilising a

Case Based Learning curriculum,

supplemented by lectures and small

group learning. In the third year you

Problem Based Learning curriculum,representing a shit in emphasis rom

structured to sel-directed learning.

There will be 18 weeks o clinical

attachments during the transitional

clinical practice year in hospitals and

general practices in London and the

surrounding area. These give students

a rm grounding or urther clinical

rotations in the US or other international

clinical sites, and will also allow students

London, allowing or direct progression

into proessional medical practice.

The clinical years take place in the

United States or other INTO St Georges,

University o London aliated

international clinical training sites and

students are prepared or the USMLE.

At the end o the programme you will

receive your MBBS degree, which is a

primary medical qualication (PMQ).

Holding a PMQ entitles you to provisional

registration with the General Medical

Council, subject only to its acceptance

that there are no Fitness to Practise

concerns that need consideration. In the

UK provisionally registered doctors canonly practise in approved Foundation

Year 1 posts: the law does not allow

provisionally registered doctors to

undertake any other type o work.

To obtain a Foundation Year 1 post

you would need to apply during the

nal year o your undergraduate course

through the UK Foundation Programme

Oce selection scheme, which

allocates these posts to graduates

on a competitive basis. To date, all

suitably qualied UK graduates haveound a place on the Foundation Year

1 programme, but this cannot be

guaranteed, or instance i there were to

be an increased number o competitive

applications rom non-UK graduates.

Successul completion o the Foundation

Year 1 programme is normally achieved

within 12 months and is marked by the

award o a Certicate o Experience. You

would then be eligible to apply or ull

Enrolled students in our International

will be exposed to clinical placements

both in the UK, the US and other INTO

SGUL aliated international clinical

training sites. In the UK, clinical

placements will be held in St Georges

Hospital, as well as other hospitals

in London and the surrounding areas.

By experiencing clinical placements

in dierent countries, we aim or

our students to be able to gain a

strong understanding o international

healthcare systems and diering models

o medical care and treatment. The

UK clinical placements will take place

during years 1 to 3 o the International

Medicine and years 1 and 2 oInternational Graduate Medicine

MBBS programmes.

In year 3 (International GraduateMedicine) and year 5 (International

Medicine), there will be 42 weeks

o core clinical placements covering

the ollowing subjects:

Medicine

Obstetrics/Gynecology

USMLe xams a rsicy aisig

INTO SGUL has incorporated test

preparation or the United States

Medical Licensing Exams (USMLE) and

residency advising, so that students

will have the support needed to be

successul. The USMLE exams are a

series o exams that are taken by all

students who are looking to become

licensed to practise medicine in the US.

The USMLE exams covered and taken

during the INTO SGUL programme are:

USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 CK and

USMLE Step 2 CS. The Step 1 exam

ocuses on basic sciences and a passing

score on this exam is required in order

to progress on to clinical placements in

the US. To help make sure students are

on track or this exam, we will be utilising

both o-the-shel and comprehensive

exams rom NBME. Step 2 CK assesses

a students clinical knowledge and

Step 2 CS assesses standard-patient

clinical skills. Most students will

take the Step 2 exams during theirnal year o clinical placements.

The USMLE Step 3 exam is not

included in our curriculum as this

is a postgraduate clinical skills

assessment and is generally taken

ater the rst year o postgraduate

training in a residency programme.

All international medical graduates

(IMGs) must also be certied by the

Educational Commission or Foreign

Medical Graduates (ECFMG) in order to

move on in the residency application

process. ECFMG certication requires

you to have passing test scores on the

USMLE Step 1, Step 2 CK and Step 2

CS exams, and a valid medical degree.

The SGUL MBBS is approved or

ECFMG certication.

Throughout all years o study, students

will also have access to a local INTO

SGUL adviser who will provide guidance

about the exams, and residency

application process.

To learn more about the USMLE exams

and ECFMG visit: www.usml.org and

www.cmg.org

For students looking to return to Canada

to go through the residency system

there, instead o staying in the US,

preparing or and taking the USMLE willalso be o value and residency advice

about the Canadian system will be

provided. For more inormation about the
