pg-courses



Post graduation after mbbs involves 3 main pg courses that you may select. These are as follows:-

A. PG- Specialty

B. PG- Diploma

C. DNB



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.

study-abroad



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.



jobs-after-mbbs



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.
