GMC REGISTRATION PROCESS

Start with this process as soon as you get the result and it would be wise to keep the documents equipped to save your time while registering.

So first, you have to go to GMC online > My registration > My Applications > Apply

1. Enter your EPIC ID(ECFMG)

2. Enter the internship details of all the postings you attended as per your internship certificate 

3. Confirm your name details 

4. Following this is the professional experience section (the most important and annoying one). You have to enter the details of your life 5 years from the date you are filling the form, i.e. 10th April 2017 to 10th April 2022. It has to include everything you did like study leaves, marriage break, traveling, pregnancy waiting for jobs, etc. For instance, from 10/04/2017 to 29/01/2019  -> studying at the college, 30/01/2019 to 31/03/2019 -> during this period, I was awaiting my internship start date. 01/04/2019 to 31/03/2020 -> internship at the hospital and continue likewise till date. But please DON’T LEAVE ANY GAPS otherwise you would get questioned on that
TIP: whatever you put, should be authentic and not bogus as the information is bound to validate

5. Enter about your medical regulatory body in your home country like PMC etc

6. Fill on other formalities asking about your health and fitness to practice

7. Once sure of the application, make a payment of £161

Immediately after this, you will receive an email from GMC asking for the documents to be sent [Passport, MBBS degree certificate, Certificate of Good Standing, OET/IELTS, internship completion certificate, translations (only if you have your documents in a language other than English) and employer reference (GEN1 form)].

GEN1 form: A lot of us get stuck with this draft. Actually, it is not a mandatory indenture for everyone, it is just to be filled ONLY if you have practiced medicine without any licensing/ registration in your country. 

Lastly, GMC takes about 2-3 (4-5) working days to sort out the documents and award a full registration with a license to practice in the UK. The license has to get renewed every year on the date you would be accoladed with it.
