No, while a BUMS graduate is a practitioner within the domain of Unani medicine, they are not typically addressed as ‘doctors’ in the same manner as those holding an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree in allopathic medicine. The term ‘doctor’ in the medical context often refers to individuals holding an MBBS or equivalent degree.
In India, a graduate with a BUMS degree is considered a practitioner of Unani medicine. They are authorized to diagnose illnesses, prescribe Unani medicines, and provide treatment based on the principles of Unani medicine.
