Eastern Medical College (EMC) offers various employment avenues for its graduates. Post-MBBS, they can join government and private hospitals, research and training institutions, and clinical settings. 

Most EMC graduates after finishing their 1 year compulsory internship do their formal practice in the country. Preferably, most of them take jobs in hospitals affiliated to the college, but there are many other options in the form of public or private healthcare establishments where such graduates can practice medicine, besides further specializing through postgraduate course qualifications.

Most of those overseas students, mostly Indians, can take the National Medical Commission (NMC) screening test to practice in India on completing the course at EMC. They can also be given good opportunities abroad where foreign countries want doctors, especially in the Middle East, UK, and others that recognize medical degrees from WHO and BMDC.

After completing an MBBS from Apollo Buckingham Health Science Campus, there are several career placement opportunities in various fields of employment.

You may apply for both public and private health care.

It's a hospital, an outpatient clinic, or even a medical research institution. In addition to that, an individual with a degree in medicine from the UK may also be eligible to work under the NHS (National Health Service) or any other countries' healthcare systems.

For career upgrades, you can do postgraduation or specialize in surgery, pediatrics, or internal medicine. One needs to be a licensed physician of the local medical boards to run medicinal practice.
