Sir, is usmle worth for pg in us because I'm already a us born citizen but i have studied in india and I'll be doing mbbs in india then i will go for usmle, i am aiming for higher branches like neurosurgery, plastic surgery, orthosurgery. Some people say its really tough to get those high branches and the pay is not enough, it is better to become a doctor in india. Please clear this confusion. Is it really worth to become a doctor in us and practice there?

Ans: Each exam has its merits and demerits. It’s your personal preference.

Ans: Hi,
As per the press release dated 20 Sept 2023 of the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India’s National Medical Commission has received ‘recognition’ status from the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) for 10 years. This means that all 706 of India’s existing medical colleges are now WFME-accredited, enabling graduates to practice medicine in several foreign countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Ans: Hi Dr.
Recently, I've seen many different comments on social media suggesting that finding a job after completing an MBBS is very difficult, with some graduates even working as delivery boys.

I believe MBBS is one of the few courses that allows for immediate entrepreneurship after graduation, while other fields often require additional support to start a business. Many medical shop owners are willing to provide a small space for consultations, which is not typically an option for graduates in other disciplines.

If you are financially constrained, it may be wise to stop after completing your MBBS degree for the time being. However, pursuing a postgraduate degree (PG) significantly increases your opportunities, including potential roles in the pharmaceutical industry. Without a PG, your options may be limited. It's akin to the difference between a normal grocery store and a supermarket: completing a PG can lead to positions in corporate medical hospitals.

Initially, you might consider working at a smaller practice or in the government sector before pursuing higher education. While having an MBBS degree allows you to offer consultations, having a PG provides you with more credibility and knowledge. Understand your strengths and weaknesses, and don’t worry about others—proceed based on your own abilities and circumstances.
BEST WISHES.
