HI,
Renowned Physiotherapists nowadays charge as much as 1500-2000 for a single session , that's equivalent or even higher as compared to a doctor who has done his MD or DNB so physiotherapy is gaining lot of importance these days and people are willing to pay huge amount for the same.

Hi All,
If we talk about the scope, MBBS has a wider scope , after a MBBS, following are the options you can opt for :
MD/MS/Diploma
Diploma of National Board(DNB)
Combined Medical Services(CMS)
Masters in Health Administration(MHA)
USMLE,PLAB- u can appear for foreign qualifying exams such as usmle or plab
But after physiotherapy your options are limited and most of the students opt for MPT(Masters of Physical Therapy)

Hey Everyone,
If you dont pursue any higher studies after MBBS , then i think bot have equal scope nowadays because considering the lifestyle and the food we are having plus the environmental conditions, maximum people develop arthritis of some form or the other once they reach 45.

No doubt MBBS has a broader scope as compared to physiotherapy because MBBS leads to different specializations like radiology, surgery, oncology etc but physiotherapy in itself is a specialization so it's quite obvious that MBBS has a broader scope.
