After completing a degree in Occupational Therapy, becoming a doctor in the traditional sense, such as an MBBS or MD, requires starting a new medical education pathway.
A degree in Occupational Therapy does not qualify you to practice as a doctor, as it focuses on rehabilitation and therapy rather than medicine and surgery.
However, if you wish to pursue a medical degree, you would need to meet the eligibility criteria, including clearing the NEET exam, and then complete an MBBS programme followed by specialisation if desired.
