Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board
The Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) is an organization that assesses the skills and knowledge of international medical graduates who wish to practice medicine in the United Kingdom. It ensures that these professionals meet the required standards for patient care and safety.
PLAB consists of two main exams: PLAB 1, a multiple-choice test, and PLAB 2, a practical Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Successful completion of these assessments is essential for obtaining a license to practice from the General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK.
