MBBS

Upon completion of the MBBS program, doctors can pursue their postgraduate programs, such as an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery) in certain specific fields. Admissions for postgraduate programs generally require eligible candidates who can sit for certain entrance exams such as NEET-PG in India.

Doctor's specialization can also occur through diplomas, fellowships, and super-specialty courses (DM/MCh) for certain areas for highly specialized areas such as Cardiology, Neurosurgery, or Oncology. 

Both residency placements and rotation in hospitals are very practical ways to obtain practical experience and build confidence in their ability in their specialty areas.

Students from India are expected to have completed 10+2 from a recognised Board and studied Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A majority of the countries required an overall minimum mark of 50-60 % in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Whether it is necessary to qualify NEET depends on whether a student wants to work in India after returning from the abroad programme. Students must also have valid passports, student visas and perhaps language proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL depending upon the country of study.

Some of the universities might have further requirements, such as, entrance exam, and personal interview, to assess the student on academic aptitude and communication skills.

Indian students need to complete one undergraduate degree in 4 years, usually Science, before applying to a U.S. medical school. A requirement to apply is the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The MCAT tests material in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Critical Thinking. Indian students also need to complete a residency programme, which lasts from 3 to 7 years, depending on the specialty, after medical school. A proof of English proficiency and a good academic record must also be produced to U.S. medical schools. Also, financial planning is paramount since studying MBBS in the U.S. is expensive. The cost of tuition, and living expenses, vary from state to state and one institutional tuition costs will differ significantly from another.

The MBBS curriculum is structured in three overarching phases: pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical. In the pre-clinical phase, the main subjects studied include Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry which provide a solid base in Medical Sciences.

The para-clinical phase subjects, including Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Medicine, begin to connect the theoretical aspects of medicine to practical applications. The clinical phase consists of core medical subjects including Pathology, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Pathology which represents the clinical training with patients.

Establishment of practical training occurs in labs, hospitals and an internship, to ensure students are hands-on and experience and develop clinical skills that represent the practice of medicine.
