No, Paramedical and MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) are not the same they are two different study courses in the healthcare field, with jobs and careers that are different.

MBBS is a bachelor's degree program that equips one with the skills of becoming medical doctors with the license to diagnose, treat, and take care of medical conditions. Paramedical courses, therefore, are special programs that equip one with the skills of working in specific healthcare specializations that support and supplement the medical professionals.

So, paramedical courses are basically all about the healthcare world, but not just being a doctor. There are tons of specializations, and some are super in demand right now. Which ones are “top” kinda depends on what jobs are out there, how much cash you can make, and what you're actually into. But here are five courses that people usually say are pretty lit because they're relevant and in demand:

Nurse Anesthetist is like top job after paramedical courses

highest salaries for experienced CRNAs in India can go from INR 10 LPA to 20 LPA or even more per year in top hospitals and healthcare places

But yeah these numbers can change over time and salaries can be really different depending on region and how much CRNAs are needed

Also CRNAs need special training and certification and they work with doctors and other medical pros to make sure anesthesia is given safely Salaries for healthcare people, including CRNAs, depend on demand experience and where they work

BMLT is ideal for students interested in medical laboratory technology and willing to commit to a more specialised and rigorous program. On the other hand, B.Sc. General Science provides a broader foundation in Science subjects and allows students to explore various fields, including non-traditional ones.

In 2024, if you’re looking for a more focused and challenging programme with job opportunities in medical laboratory technology, BMLT might be the better choice. However, if you prefer a more general Science education with flexibility in choosing a specialization, B.Sc. General Science could be the way to go.

Paramedical courses and regular medical courses differ in various aspects, including their focus, duration, curriculum, and career opportunities. 

Regular medical courses, such as MBBS, BDS and BAMS focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases in patients.

Paramedical courses, on the other hand, focus on providing supportive healthcare services, assisting healthcare professionals in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as performing technical and laboratory procedures.
