Hi Amit, MD Dermatology is a final degree. MD Medicine is not as you can go on to do DM and then a Fellowship. For example you could do DM Cardiology and then a Fellowship in Cardiac EP. So, as far as further studies and sub-specialisation is concerned, MD Gen Med has better prospects.

But if by prospects you mean future earnings, then it is a matter of luck and chance. You could go on to become a highly successful dermatologist or a middling cardiologist. In my opinion you should assess your circumstances and where you see yourself 5 to 10 years from now and then decide what you want to do. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.

Hi Esha,

Alternative Medicine means any form of medicine that is outside the mainstream of western medicine or conventional medicine. It practices are generally not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches.

Alternative medicine includes dietary supplements, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, magnet therapy, and spiritual healing.

While Paramedics (Paramedical science) can be defined as a practice in the field of medical science that deals with pre-hospital emergency services. A person working in this field is referred to as a paramedic. They work as an emergency medical care provider, who provides primary medical and trauma care. Hope this information helps.
