From early 2024, international medical graduates (IMGs) who would have sat the General Medical Council’s Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) test will start to take the MLA if they are applying for registration with a licence to practise in the UK. The MLA will replace the PLAB test.
IMGs seeking to find out more about the MLA should read the International Medical Graduates guide to the MLA on the GMC website.
