Hello sir, Could you guide on what different masters program can be pursued abroad esp in USA after graduation from BAMS. Ayurveda credentials are not processed by WESS and that makes it difficult to apply for public health programs that accept only WESS through SOPHAS system.

Ans: Hi,

I think you have goals to move to the USA and settle there. Many graduates from fields like dentistry, pharmacy, or public health pursue opportunities in the USA. After completing their studies, they can find jobs related to public health or continue in their core subjects.

However, I don’t understand why you are choosing to study public health after becoming a doctor in Ayurveda. I feel it may be a waste of time and money. Moreover, the Indian medicine system is not practiced in the US, which is probably why it has not been included in the SHOPHAS (this is my understanding).

So, please plan accordingly.
