No, you cannot directly pursue a PhD in Medicine after completing your MBBS, as it requires candidates to have a PG degree (MD/MS) or a Master's degree in a relevant field. 

MBBS is considered a professional undergraduate degree, and a higher level of specialisation is typically needed to meet the eligibility criteria for research-based doctoral programs. 

However, you can explore integrated MD-PhD programs or gain relevant qualifications to become eligible for a PhD in Medicine in the future.

A PhD in Medicine typically takes 3 to 5 years to complete, depending on the country, institution, and the candidate's progress. PhD in Medicine duration includes coursework, comprehensive exams, and the completion of an original research project culminating in a dissertation.

No, a PhD in Medicine cannot be pursued entirely online due to the rigorous research, practical training, and supervision involved. A PhD programme requires active engagement in research projects, laboratory work, and regular interaction with advisors, which are integral parts of the process. 

Additionally, the credibility of a PhD depends on hands-on experience and access to institutional resources, which online programs cannot fully provide.
