Ans: Hi Suhas...For pursuing an MS in Surgery after completing MBBS, the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand offer top-notch programs. He should focus on gaining relevant clinical experience, researching specific program requirements, and preparing for any necessary exams or certifications. Applying to these countries involves meeting their entry criteria, such as passing medical exams or securing a clinical placement, so thorough preparation and early planning are crucial.

Ans: Hi Sujit,
Hello,

I am pleased to learn that your son will be completing his MBBS next year and is considering pursuing higher education. From your query, it seems that you are contemplating whether he should pursue his higher education abroad. There are several factors that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. Some of these factors include:

1. He will need to clear the USMLE or PLAB exams, which will require dedicated effort. Until he completes these exams, he will require both financial and moral support.

2. The specialization he is interested in pursuing is a crucial factor to consider.

3. The choice of university will also play a significant role, as it may impact the availability of financial aid.

4. Additionally, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of studying in the USA or the UK and make an informed decision based on the specifics of each country.

Ultimately, the decision about his higher education should be made based on your financial circumstances and the support that can be provided without undue strain.

But i feel USA is better option when compare to UK.

"All the best to your son for his future endeavors."
