Filipino IMG hoping to pass the PRES 2 soon
Any Filipino IMGs preparing for the PRES 2 as well?
I’m actually posting to ask for some guidance because I’m still trying to figure out if I’m doing everything correctly. I’ve already set up my MyIntealth account and I’m currently waiting for my EPIC verification. Since I don’t have my EPIC ID yet, I understand that I can’t create my IMC account either.
For preparation, I’ve started doing PassMedicine and so far it’s been going well. I chose it mainly because it’s more affordable than PLABable. However, I’ve been having trouble accessing NICE Guidance, BNF, and CKS because the websites are showing that they’re unavailable from the Philippines.
May I ask what other resources you would recommend for PRES 2 preparation? I’m tentatively planning to take the exam in February, so I’d really appreciate any advice on what resources I should prioritize and how I should prepare.
Also, while I’m waiting for my EPIC and other documents to be verified, is there anything else I can already process or work on so I don’t lose time?
I also submitted my internship certificate through EPIC, but it’s been around a month and it’s still pending. Is that a normal processing time? I've already followed up through their email but just received an automatic reply.
I just really want to make sure I’m on the right track and that I’m not missing anything important. I’d be very grateful for any advice or guidance you can give, especially since I’m still figuring out this pathway.
Thank you so much, doctors! I’m just genuinely in need of some direction.
