Career after MBBS /Medical :-

different career options after MBBS and their scope in

India?
These are the few options -

1. MD/MS/Diploma - This is the most commonly chosen path after MBBS for people
who wish to continue with their medical career. You can pursue post graduation in various
specialties like internal medicine, general surgery, obs. & gynaecology, paediatrics, etc. For
this you need to give AIPGMEE exam, held in December every year. There's no need to
mention about the scope of this field as specialist Doctors are the need of the hour.
MD/MS are 3 year degree courses while diploma is a 2 year program.

2. Diploma of National Board(DNB)

This is the next best option to pursue for people continuing with their dreams of becoming
a specialist doctor. DNB is a postgraduate course offered by the National board of
Examinations, and recognised by the MCI. But there are a few problems with DNB. Firstly,
the pass rates in DNB are very low, depending on your course and hospital from which you
complete your course (find here - Official Pass rates in DNB for the last 4 Years!! ).
Secondly, many hospitals give preference to MD/MS candidates than DNB candidates.
Thirdly, DNB course is provided mostly in private hospitals where the amount of exposure
is less than govt. hospitals, specially in surgical branches.
3. Combined Medical Services(CMS) - UPSC conducts CMS examination every year
in the month of July/August for entry into government institutions like Railways,
Municipal Corporations as Medical Officers. The exam can be given by final year students
and interns. It is a good option if you want a permanent job with the government and if
you like to be a part of the administrative work force of the hospital.
4. Civil Services - There's always the options to join the civil services (IAS/IRS/IFS/IPS)
after MBBS. A good career option but you won't be dealing with patients anymore. Sought
by many doctors.
5. MBA - The demand for Doctor's with MBA is increasingly drastically, with many
private hospitals, pharmaceutical companies being set up. Many MBA institutions take up
doctors in their programs because of this. Few institutes offering MBA are IIM's, FMS
Delhi, IBS Hyderabad, MDI Gurgaon, XLRI Jamshedpur. You need to give CAT for
admission.
6. Clinical Research - India is lacking behind when it comes to research work. There is
a great demand for clinical researchers. Various institutes to offer research opportunities
are ICMR(Indian Council for Medical Research), CIMAP, CCMB(Centre for Cellular and
Molecular Biology), St. John's Research institute. One can also join WHO. Many institutes
like AIIMS, PGI, NIMHANS, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai (TIFR)
offer a Ph.D. degree.
7. Masters in Health Administration(MHA) - It is a 3 year post-graduate
degree(M.D.) in Health Administration which helps students to acquire the skills required
in managing big specialty hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, etc.
8. M.Tech in Biomedical Engineering and Biological Sciences - It is being
offered in the IIT's for students who want to pursue their career in developing machines
and instruments to provide better health care
