Students that have completed MBBS from other countries can practice in India after passing screening test i.e., FMGE and which will be soon replaced by NEXT exam. Only students who completed their degree from countries like UK, USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand can practice in India without passing screening test. Now, soon this screening test i.e., NEXT exam will be compulsory for MBBS in India students too.
After the completion of the medical education from Abroad, students have various career options to choose from as per their interest. Few of them are: –
- Practice in India
One can always start their own clinic/hospital to practice in India after passing screening test and completing the medicine degree from Abroad. But this generally requires more time to get established and earn profitable business for the doctor. Students can also choose to practice in private or government hospitals where they can get paid.
- Study for Specialty in Medicine Field
After candidate is over with MBBS Abroad degree, most students want to study PG for specialty in their own country or abroad. The seats are usually very less for PG education too in India, so it is very competitive to get seat for PG in their preferred subject. Under such conditions, the students can either have to repeat the exam or study the subject which is allowed according to their preferences. Getting selected for the Postgraduate program in one’s selected subject is a difficult task and for that student are suggested to take one- or two-year break and prepare for the entrance tests.
- Research option after MBBS Abroad degree
Research or Ph.D. program in India which is very prestigious degree and difficult to study. There are over 45 different Ph.D. programs recognized by the national medical commission (NMC) in India. The course duration of a Ph.D. program is three years generally. For those students, who are eager for learning and want to put that interest to use, research program is best option after MBBS overseas. In a country like India, there are very few people who want to study Ph. D. or research after medical education. But nation need more people to come forward to study Ph.D. courses as there is very smaller number of research scientist in the subcontinent. The main aim of Ph.D. program is to invent and learn more interesting topics in the medical field so the new inventions can be useful for medical treatment and advancements in the country.
- Hospital Management
After completing the MBBS abroad degree, the students also have a choice of studying Masters in Hospital Management (MHA). This sector is picking up fast as the corporate sectors are building the hospitals for making the investment in the medical business. But still, we don’t have enough capable persons who understand the medicine with management skills which are the main requirement for the business. The hospital management sector is growing fast and the demand is not fulfilled yet with the hospital management staff. Also, the job brings more money to persons employed in this field.
- USMLE/ UKMLA
If the person has already completed his/her MBBS Abroad degree at low cost from any country and from NMC, WHO recognized university, then it will be really easy for them to continue their stay abroad for PG. Countries such as the USA, the UK offer much more in terms of educational facilities compared to India. The USMLE exam or residency program in the USA is a compulsory exam for the international students who want to study in the USA or PLAB (UKMLA) exam in the UK after completing their MBBS from Abroad. As it is a very expensive degree course, you have to think about its budget first so, that you will not face any financial problem later.
