    Thanks a lot. That’s a very helpful post.
    Kindly guide if we can add a job experience for which we do not have any experience certificate? The appointment letter and joining report ia there but the hospital did not issue any experience certificate despite requesting.
    What kind of documents are acceptable as a proof of employment? At what stage do they ask for these documents?

      A combination of Joining letter and resignation letter will be fine. If you’re still doing the job, you can attach latest payslip as proof of job.

      Dear Irza!

      Unfortunately! You have to do housejob and do all exams to get your experience verified from PMC.

      You’ll have time. This process will take 2-3 months. Also, depending upon how much time your college and PMC takes, it may vary a little.

    Hey! Thank you for a wonderful blog. I hope you are well.
    I wanted to ask you about adding experience. I have a
    year and half experience of general surgery before starting my residency. However, there’s a gap of few days between the dates of relieving from last job and joining my residency. So the site prompts for missing dates and does not accept because of date gaps. Is it possible to skip this experience for now and attach the experience certificate while applying for job?
    Also, there’s total of 3 years gap between ending of my house job and apply for imc registration.
    I was studying for steps and etc so couldn’t really work at that time. How do you suggest i should handle this while applying for registration?
    Thanks again for your massive help!

      Thanks for your message!

      You can fill your gaps by putting following

      2: any community work
      3: study breaks

      Etc

    Thank you for all this information. I just applied for registration but did not get any cover sheet after submitting my application. I heard from someone (unofficial source) that cover sheet is no longer required by IMC as you just have to provide them with downlodable checklist (appears just before the payment page in online portal). Please please tell me which document to send them the checklist or official cover sheet (which i didn’t receive). Thank you

    Hello
    I want to ask one thing.
    Due to poor knowledge about IMC registration process, i had started the steps haphazardly.
    I started making epic id and filled IMC regustration form at the same time. Now i have made epic id but i have to get my credential verified through epic. Meanwhile i got acknowledgement email for my IMC application form
    Now it will take me around 2-3 months to get my OET done and get my documents verified and send to imc. I want to ask if IMC will close the application during that delay time??
    How much time does IMC wait to receive documents before closing the application. Because they had mebtioned in that acknowledgement email that if we wont get the required documents, we will close your application.
    Plz anyone give info regarding that.
    Regards

      March 4, 2024 Reply

      Dear Dr! I am so sorry to hear what you are going from but please get guidance from IMC directly that until when they want documents. You can do OET in 1 and half month meanwhile getting all other documents ready. It will take you not more then 2 months. Give IMC reason that i was not aware of application pathway and now you need time. Hope they will consider.
      Now take guidance from this platform and post your questions here if you need help! Thanks
      Good luck

    Hi. I have applied for IMC registration and have paid the fee. I recieved an email from IMC about application acknowledgement but it does not include cover letter nor the list of documents to be send by post. Can we send these documents by our own without cover letter or should I wait for next email.
    And one thing more. Can we get our passport notarized by bank manager? Or any BS 17 grade officer?

      There is no direct relation! But you would need to get your degree verified from EPIC anyhow. And that comes under ECFMG. If they verify your degree then you are ok to go ahead!

      1: observer ship/ clinical attachments in Ireland is hard to find. Reason is that they very rarely offer clinical attachment to IMGs instead they give SHO posts. So better to apply for your imc registration . Work on your CV and come as SHO. Thanks

    I want to ask a few things,
    1.After establishing account and following all the mentioned steps and paying fee, shall we wait for their email to send the documents or send them directly via email?
    2.Their list of documents which needs to be sent to IMC contains EPIC reports for verification of house job and degree, these verified reports are sent directly to IMC by EPIC, what should we send them?
    3. The documents which they don’t have at this moment are language certificate, statement and notarized passport ( correct me if I’m wrong) so can I email them these documents instead of sending by post?

    • IMGs in Ireland
      March 4, 2024 Reply

      1: The list of document they ask you to send you is the email they sent. What other email you are talking about? If you receive that then thats fine. If not then also no problem.
      2: epic will send those. You only need to provide epic number while filling imc application

      3: yes send these documents via email
