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.

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.
