Hi everyone,
I, 26F completed my MBBS from Ukraine and Georgia, cleared FMGE, and I’m about to finish my internship in India.

Lately I’ve been very confused about my career path. I’ve been considering PLAB, AMC, NZREX, and Germany/Europe, but I’m also curious about non-clinical options like health informatics, pharma, clinical research, public health, healthcare consulting, or health tech.

During internship I also gave one attempt of USMLE Step 1 and unfortunately failed, which made me rethink whether I genuinely want to continue the traditional clinical pathway abroad.

I do like medicine, but I also want good work-life balance, stability, and flexibility long-term. At this point I honestly don’t know whether it’s smarter to continue clinically first and pivot later, or explore non-clinical paths early itself.

Would really appreciate honest advice from IMGs or doctors who’ve gone through something similar. What non-clinical options are actually worth exploring with an MBBS background, and which countries are better for them?
