With these keeping as key points, we will get answers of all

Post graduation after mbbs involves 3 main pg courses that
you may select. These are as follows:-
Post graduation courses after mbbs in India are the most
pronounced MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery). These are some
of the toughest PG exams in India and even after a lot of tries, many mbbs
graduates fail to get success. The simple reason behind this is very limited
number of seats. Even after you get the college of your choice, you may not get
the course of choice or vice-versa. Although many private colleges provide pg seats,
but the price of private institutions outweighs that of merit quota.

Hospital management is another very fast developing sector
which is one trending option available for MBBS students. IIM (Indian institute
of Management) is one worthy but toughest choice.
MBA or MHA? Where MBA stands for
Masters of Business Administration, MHA stands for Masters in Hospital
Administration. Both are choices for getting into the hospital management, but
which to go for?

Duration of course: 2 years
And then you wanted to study abroad, but here we will
discuss education after mbbs in USA and UK. USMLE is for US while PLAB is for
UK.
USMLE stands for United States Medical Licensing Examination
and is one of most fortunes giving choice. Yet many Indians fail to achieve a
success even after appropriate tries. This is because USMLE is a 3 step
procedure. Further, the costs are too high and even after you complete these
three steps, it still doesn’t guarantee until you have secured US residency.
But if you get it, you are way too ahead then anyone.
You can find more info on USMLE
here or apply to USMLE
PLAB is an alternative to USMLE who want to study in UK
after MBBS. PLAB stands for Professional and Linguistic
Assessments Board. It is an option after MBBS in UK. You can find more
info on PLAB
here.
Please note, there are other master degrees and PhD course
in other countries like US too, but we have missed them since we are focusing
on more appropriate choices for an Indian MBBS student.
While some believe practicing at clinic refreshes what you
study and hence help in preparing for PG exams, some give preference to getting
as much time for books.
An MBBS graduate student may plan to study while going for
job after mbbs, or start clinical practice immediately after completing MBBS.
It can be done in following ways:-
-Government hospitals: You can either go for Full time job
or even do contract basis part time job.
-Private Hospitals- Corporate sectors always welcome worthy
students.
-Owned clinic- Owned clinic, nursing home or hospitals are
always the best choice for some.
