Yes, one can do an MBBS after M Pharmacy. 

However, having an M Pharmacy (Masters in Pharmacy) may not directly qualify one for MBBS admission in India, as the standard pathway is through the pre-medical undergraduate coursework. 

The typical pathway to pursue an MBBS in India involves completing a Class 12 education with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as the main subjects, followed by the NEET-UG for admission to undergraduate medical programs.

Yes Pathology is also studied under MBBS. It is an important part of MBBS. During MBBS, students are introduced to basic concepts of pathology which include disease mechanisms, tissue changes and laboratory diagnostics.

This knowledge helps future doctors understand how diseases affect body, interpret diagnostic tests and even make informed clinical decisions. 

Hope this helped your query! All the best!

Yes candidates can go for some Pathology courses without MBBS like undergraduate programs such as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Laboratory Technology or Clinical Pathology which gives foundational knowledge and practical skills in pathology. 

Diploma courses like Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) or Certificate courses in clinical and medical laboratory techniques offer specialised training without requiring an MBBS

But an MBBS is necessary for MD Pathology. 

Hope this helped your query! All the best!

They are not equal at all. MBBS is a professional UG degree given to you after you have completed your required training in medicine and surgery. It is basically seen as a standard qualification if you want to become a medical doctor.

MPT on the other side is a PG degree in Physiotherapy that is all about physical methods and exercises for treating and rehabilitating patients who have any physical disability.

No, an MBBS degree is not required to pursue a career after Acupuncture courses. 

Acupuncture is a specialised field within traditional medicine and typically requires the completion of dedicated acupuncture courses. 

While an MBBS degree provides a comprehensive understanding of conventional medical practices, it does not specifically cover acupuncture or TCM in depth. 

However, having a background in medicine can be beneficial for integrating acupuncture with other medical treatments and enhancing a practitioner’s overall understanding of health and disease.

Choosing the best country for an MBBS or medical course depends on factors like education quality, cost, and career opportunities. The United States is renowned for its cutting-edge medical education and research, though it's highly competitive and expensive.

The United Kingdom offers a shorter course duration with globally recognised degrees, but also comes with high costs. Canada is known for its strong healthcare system and emphasis on research, but has limited seats for international students. Australia provides excellent medical training with a focus on practical experience, while countries like Germany and China offer more afforda

Yes, you are eligible for an MBBS at 20 years old it's a common age to start, provided you've passed 12th grade with Physics, Chemistry, Biology (PCB) and cleared NEET UG exam as minimum age is 17 and there's no upper age limit in India anymore.

You just need to meet minimum score in PCB (50% for general, 40% for reserved) and clear NEET.
