Foundation Years

Are all non - EU graduates from UK medical schools guaranteed posts as F1 foundation doctors after graduation?

Note: Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find a definite answer anywhere on the forum. Link me if I missed anything.

Thank you!

I believe not if you are outside the EU but the best thing is to check with the medical school you are applying for. You need to be 100% sure because as you probably know without completing F1 year you are NOT a qualified doctor and your medical degree will not be accepted in other countries.
