How far have you gone in your medical career? You may want to refer to the post below, which, although was initially directed to somebody else, I thought that it might help you make informed choices regarding the US path, so I modified it a little. Hopefully, someone else assists you regarding the UK path. You may as well want to get in touch with the poster for more guidance, and I encourage you to follow the UK PLAB thread here on Nairaland.

Timotee:



With regards to the US path, there are several paths. The easiest path will be to write USMLE step 1 (and if possible, step 2ck) during your housejob period. The closest centre is in Ghana. If you're certain you won't be taking any governmental appointment in the future, then you can skip his NYSC.

After applying and getting admitted to an MPH programme (should apply during housejob or NYSC), you can work towards writing step 2cs and step 3 exams while doing your MPH. If you can get an observership while doing your MPH, it will help. Note that studying for the USMLE exams is very intensive and your MPH may suffer as a result. Also, you should put extra effort to getting very good scores on your USMLE exams. A failed exam will impact tremendously on your chances of getting a residency spot; so you should only write the exams when you're fully prepared.


Hope this helps.
