The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland-Medical University in Bahrain (RCSI Bahrain) has received approval from the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom allowing RCSI Bahrain medical graduates to apply for registration to practise in the UK without having to undertake the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) licensing examinations.
The examinations are administered by the Council to ensure that doctors who have received qualifications from abroad have the correct level of knowledge and skills to practise medicine in the UK.
This significant milestone for the university will ease the process of accessing internship and postgraduate training opportunities for all RCSI Bahrain medical graduates in the UK, regardless of their nationality and without the need to take a gap year.
RCSI Bahrain graduates will only have to apply for registration with the GMC through the Relevant European Qualification (REQ) pathway.
