i am doing my BAMS and want to have a carrer in medical turism please guide me.....

Hi, Medical tourism is a term initially used by travel agencies and the mass media to describe the rapidly-growing practice of travelling across international borders to obtain health care. It also refers pejoratively to the practice of healthcare providers travelling internationally to deliver healthcare. Services typically sought by travelers include elective procedures as well as complex specialized surgeries such as joint replacement (knee/hip), cardiac surgery, dental surgery, and cosmetic surgeries. Students, who make a good blend of medical tourism and hospital administration, have better openings in their career. In addition to the degree, they must be aware of the topography of the country and also hospitals, which offer medical procedures for overseas patients. I hope this answers your query. If you like this answers, than please mark it as a Thumbs Up or rate it as a Best Answer. Thanks, All the Best.
