Irish Medical Council Registration Process

Tips and Tricks For Registration Process/ Genform

How to expedite the Experience Certificate from the licensing council?

This is a long process, and it usually takes 8-12 weeks. Due to Covid 19 situation. I have shared some tricks to expedite this process. I will discuss Pakistan Medical & Dental(PM&DC) here. For other councils/medical boards, please visit their respective sites or contact someone who has gone through this process.

  • Apply online for an Experience Certificate as soon as you finish your housejob.
  • Contact your hospital admin clerk and ask them if verification from PMC came back, and send it back as soon as possible. You might have to pay out-of-pocket for TCS because usually, the hospital’s standard policy is to send via regular Pakistan Post, which takes 10 to 15 days to reach PMC. Please note that if you have rotations in 2 different hospitals, you must contact them both.
  • Another way is that if you or anyone on your behalf (with an authority letter) can visit PM&DC in person, this might also help you in getting a certificate earlier. 😊

How to expedite your EPIC verification process?

When you have sent both your documents (Degree and House job/Internship certificate), you must keep an eye on the “My Credentials” tab in your EPIC account. When it is updated in front of both credentials that your report has been “sent for verification” you must do the following 2 steps

Step 1: If “Sent for Verification” is in a box of your degree, contact the admin of your college/Institution from where you have graduated that verifies your degree and sends it back to EPIC. They might have a verification fee, which you have to pay if they ask you to do so.

Step 2: If “sent for verification” is in the box of Experience Certificate, you must make an online application on the PM&DC online portal.

 

What to Expect after submission of documents to the Irish Medical Council (IMC)?

After you submit all your documents to IMC, you must now wait for an e-mail from them. This wait could be from 6-8 months. So, you need to relax now and stop bothering until that e-mail. What you can do is! Call IMC once a month to ask about your application process.

First-Time Assessment ( IMC will start assessing your application after 32 weeks)

The first e-mail you will get once the assessment begins is acknowledging your documents with an attachment of the Professional Indemnity form. Print it tick option 1, and sign Declaration 1. Scan it and send it to the e-mail address which they will mention in the same e-mail.

GENFORM ( This can take up to 10-12 weeks)

In the second e-mail, they will send you “GENFORM”. Download and print it. Please fill out this form carefully; it is straightforward. Give your personal information and tick the Good Standing and Notarised passport boxes as you have already sent them. Below they will ask about your job after you apply for IMC registration. If you select NO for all options below, you don’t have to fill in other blanks. Scan it and send it back to the address which they will mention in the e-mail.

Final Registration Payment ( After you pay the fee it could take 12 weeks to get your registration active)

The next e-mail will be to pay a fee for registration. They will guide you through logging in to your IMC account and pay a fee. When you log in, you will see the option of Outstanding Payment. Click it and follow the instructions to pay your registration fee. You cannot pay a fee until they contact you by email.

      Dr Ayesha
      Please check your junk boxes for that email once you submit application. Otherwise email them that you haven’t got any acknowledgment email after application. Once you receive cover letter in that email then please send documents again or take there advice by calling them.

      Thanks

      Indemnity is insurance which any hospital or health body like HSE provide to Drs for any negligence performed during work. Please search on google for more info. Thanks

      Word Allied is not acceptable . Rotations are acceptable.
      2 options. Write them individually or remove word allied. Just write gen med and surg. Thanks

    Hello, I have to get my house job certificate from PMDC. My HJ certificate says 6 months Medicine and Allied and 6 months Surgery and allied.

    I have done my house job in 6months medicine and 6months obgyne, back in 2007-2008. Is it acceptable by IMC. Later I did MCPS in obgyn and working as specialist for last 12years. Is it possible to get IMC registration through Experience or Internship?

      For housejob route you need surgery as well. Email them and look for options of registration. You can also use tool on IMC website which could take you to your desired alternate route. Thanks
