IMG in UK #3 with Dr. Alexa Sienes | PLAB 1 & PLAB 2 | Recent Updates and Changes

💡Hi guys here's an interview with a good friend of mine who went through PLAB 1 and PLAB 2 quite recently. Hope you all can gain some insights and encouragement from it! Enjoy! 😊

P.S. FYI, This doesn't mean I am switching back my direction to UK! XD
I decided to interview my friends who made it to UK since I noticed that there are a lot of interviews already on US residency and Match but not so much on UK.
