Hi, My daughter has finished his BDS and MDS and worked for 8years as a dentist. Now due to some health concerns and family issues, she wants to work from home or do office job that pays her well and is relevant to medicine / science. What are her career prospects?

Ans: Dear Mohd,
She can look at research related areas in her field. Also, I see a wave of youngsters wanting to volunteer in their expert areas and serve the community.
I am unsure if she likes BDS or not...then she may even want to explore changing her career line altogether. This maybe a risky move, but it's better to take a risk and do what you love rather than be safe and do what you despise.
It maybe beneficial to seek a career guidance counsellor who will employ a battery of evaluation tests that will highlight her areas of interest and strengths which will throw out many career options.
Let her explore and find her path.

All the best!

Ans: Hello Vimal,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your daughter is pursuing her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS). To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that on completing her degree in India, it is possible for your daughter to pursue higher studies or practice dentistry abroad. You would be happy to know that dental graduates from India are presented with many opportunities to further their education or to practice dentistry by a number of countries, including Canada.

I would like to let you know that in order to qualify for licensure in Canada, international dental graduates are generally required to go through a process of assessment and examinations. With an aim to access their abilities and knowledge in the field of dentistry, this procedure may entail exams, and if necessary, further training or education. Nevertheless, remember that the specified prerequisites for each province may differ, and for that reason I would suggest that you conduct an extensive study and comprehend the rules in the province you choose to practice in.

In addition, bear in mind that in numerous nations, including Canada, you can also pursue programs specializing in dentistry, or study further viz., a Master's degree. Although having unique admission standards and requirements, a path to greater specialization and professional growth in the area of dentistry, is offered by these programs. Remember that while it is possible to explore possibilities abroad after earning a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from India, I would recommend that you conduct an all-round study on the prerequisites and procedures required to study or practice dentistry in your preferred country.

Ans: Dear Pradeep,
BHMS is a good degree.
Nowadays, there is good requirement of Homeopath professionals in various IT companies as well as private hospitals which has homeopath sections.
The best thing would be if she starts her own practice, although initially it would be slow but in the long term it will be beneficial and rewarding.

Ans: Neeraj Sir, better to apply to Pharmaceuticals / Healthcare Companies via LinkedIn.

Does your daughter have LinkedIn Profile? Please advise her to put job alerts related to her domain, and start applying to the Companies, if the Job Profile matches her Qualifications / Skills. LinkedIn is the BEST Platform to search for jobs.

All the BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.
