DO’S:-
-Spend at least 1-2days exploring the forum “Doctors in Ireland”. The file section, old posts and comments below them have answers to almost 95% of your queries.
-Be very careful while choosing your House Job specialities (Must be according to IMC Recognized Internships) and even more careful about writing the TITLES correctly as PMDC copies anything and everything that is on your HJ certificate, as it is , on your Experience Cert.
-Better to take Exp.Cert issuance form to PMDC by yourself rather than posting, make sure you visit EXP department and request them to send your verifications NOW, they will just ask for extra charges for TCS, no trouble and will minimize the delays
-GSC must be sent from PMDC, just take TCS track# from them. (with urgent fee, takes 4days maximum)
-Do get your certificates attested PROPERLY (as mentioned on IMC general registration form CHECKLIST)
-It is seen that People with simplest certificates (G.MED and G.SURG 6months each) get registered in minimum time, but can that effect the chances of getting a job? Yet to discover
DON’T’S
-Don’t mention the word Allied/Honorary/Additional in your certificates.
-Don’t leave any gaps (>2weeks) unexplained.
-Don’t write or send anything they haven’t asked for
-Don’t Panic, it can take up to 9-11months to get registered, lucky ones got it in 2months. Don’t waste time in waiting, rather study, take exams, do anything good other than checking your email 5times a day as I did.

Internship Format for PRES Exemption-SIMPLE VERSION-BY Dr Rana Umair
The Medical Council accepts internships undertaken in Pakistan as equivalent to an Irish internship if the internship commenced after 31st December 2008 and the rotations comply with the Council’s standards for internships.The rotation requirements are as follows
Standard 1: RotationsTraining and experience must comply with the Medical Council’s policy on length of internship and approved rotations; that is, a minimum of a total of twelve months, which should normally be consecutive, of which at least three months must be spent in Medicine in general and at least three months in Surgery in general. A combination of below mentioned specialities is acceptable. For Example, 2 months in General Medicine and 1 month in nephrology will be acceptable as 3 months in ‘Medicine in General’. Please note that ‘Medicine/Surgery in General’ does not mean ‘General Medicine/Surgery’ only.

Note: The names (titles) of specialities must appear the same on your certificate as they’re mentioned here. For Example, ‘Ophthalmology’ is not acceptable, so the certificate should state ‘Ophthalmic Surgery’ instead.Applicants who have been awarded a document which the Medical Council considers to be the equivalent to a Certificate of Experience, may be granted an exemption from the PRES if they are applying for general registration. Please note that doctors who wish to pursue post graduate training will be required to establish eligibility for registration in the trainee specialist division. To be eligible for entry into the trainee specialist division, a doctor must pass the PRES or be exempt of PRES on basis of higher qualification and have been granted the equivalent to a Certificate of Experience.
