MORE ABOUT NICK Hi I’m Nicholas Tan, you can call me Nick. I completed a degree in BS Medical Technology in 2009 followed by postgraduate medicine (MD) in 2013, both at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines- go USTe! I met my wife Kimberly at medical school, and together we pursued postgraduate medical training in the UK. I’ve been working in the UK for almost 5 years now: three years in the NHS, the rest at a private hospital. I’m a proud international medical graduate and I want to help other IMGs like yourself who have the drive and talent to pursue work and training overseas! When I’m not working, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes and developing my cooking skills. My favourite chef is Gordon Ramsay! HI I'M KIMBERLY, Welcome again to the Savvy IMG. What to say about myself? In a nutshell I was born in the UK, moved to the Philippines as a teen, completed my medical degree at the University of Santo Tomas, and came back to the UK as an international medical graduate. I have since completed my Foundation training at UCLH and Luton & Dunstable Hospital, and secured a highly-coveted Ophthalmology training post in London on my first application. In 2015, I wrote about my personal experience of returning to the UK as an overseas qualified doctor in a BMA blog post. I also wrote 2 guides dedicated to IMGs that were published in the BMJ Careers section. Since then I’ve felt we could be doing more to help fellow IMGs. So together, Nick and I have put together this blog to help other overseas doctors successfully navigate their way to the UK. We both want to help more IMGs reach their goals! ???? When I’m not staring into the eyes of strangers, I like to read, draw, and I’m learning British Sign Language.
