    well USMLE is better in sense you can pursue your career further and get American board specialist degree. But job prospects are diminishing after 2015 in USA for training posts, however you may get job as GP in some peripheral areas.
    After PLAB job chances are less these days and they have made rules for IMGs tougher than before, so surviving there is getting harder day by day.
    My suggestion for every one is to do Post graduation after acquiring PMDC registration.

    i have done my usmle step 1 and pmdc part 1 .....now preparing for step 2 of both...

    Actually it is overkill... i also advice u to first clear pmdc then go for post graduation exams...
    u need to score minimum 230+ in usmle which is very hard for us...
