So MD stands for Doctor of Medicine. In naturopathy an MD comes after you finish a medical program in this field. It's more about learning natural ways to treat patients like herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and physical therapies.

MS is Master of Science. An MS in naturopathy goes deeper into topics like herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, physical medicine, and even research. But here's catch both MD and MS in naturopathy aren't really common in India.

Yes, DM (Doctorate of Medicine) is higher than MD (Doctor of Medicine) in the medical field.

MD course is done after MBBS. It makes you a specialist in a broad field like General Medicine or Pediatrics.

DM is done after MD. It makes you an expert in a very narrow, high level field like Cardiology (Heart), Neurology (Brain) or even Nephrology (Kidney).

No doing an MD in General Medicine followed by a DM in Cardiology does not qualify you to perform open heart surgeries. That path leads to becoming an Interventional Cardiologist - who treats heart conditions using non surgical catheter based procedures (like angioplasty/stents). To perform open heart surgeries you must train as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

The courses in DM take almost 2 years to complete upon completing an MD or similar PG course.

But candidates should know that duration can be different according to speciality.

MD course is a professional degree given to students who go to medical school and practice medicine. The duration is 4 years.

But a DM is a higher degree in medicine - superspecialization and expertise in a subject.

Yes for a MD PG course in India you need to pass the NEET PG exam. It is important for admission into MD/MS courses after completing your MBBS. 

For a super specialization DM (which comes after MD), a separate NEET SS and INI CET exam are needed. 

Hope this helped your query! All the best!
