Medicine & Health Sciences

Hi,
Most of the students think that once we enter a medical college, we just have to treat patients and don't have much dynamic career options like other professions. That is certainly not the case.
These are the few options –
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. and gynecology, 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.
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, especially in surgical branches.
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.
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.
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 and XLRI Jamshedpur. You need to give CAT for admission.
Clinical research - India is lacking behind when it comes to research work. There is a great demand for clinical researcher
