People who did BHMS can't join PG courses in normal medicine directly.

To do PG in normal medicine, you need MBBS first, because MBBS is the main bachelor degree for allopathy.

Yes BSc Zoology can be a solid foundation in order to choose a Paramedical course, especially in fields that are associated with biology, healthcare, as well as field of life science.

When you choose an area of specialization within paramedicine, be sure you think ahead in terms of your interests, future employment objectives, and requirements of programme you're entering. Some specializations in paramedicine have requirements or recommended backgrounds, so research and advice from field advisers can provide you with useful information in terms of best match with your skills and interests.

Paramedical people are like helpers in hospitals. All they do are important jobs such as in emergencies or in labs to support doctors.

But, Medical is bigger. It's about doctors who treat patients, find what's wrong with them, give treatment, and stop sickness from coming back. So, paramedical helps medical team, and together they take care of people.
