Which course should I pursue after MBBS among MD and MS?

Hello Ravi, Most of the students think that once we enter a medical college, we just have to treat patients and don't have much dynamic career options like other professions. That is certainly not the case. MD/MS/Diploma - This is the most commonly chosen path after MBBS for people who wish to continue with their medical career. You can pursue post graduation in various specialities like internal medicine, general surgery, obs. & gynaecology, paediatrics, etc. For this you need to give AIPGMEE exam, held in December every year. There's no need to mention about the scope of this field as specialist Doctors are the need of the hour. MD/MS are 3 year degree courses while diploma is a 2 year program. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish you luck.

The choice between MS and MD should be made carefully by a student as per individual aptitude. MS is postgraduate degree in general surgery while MD is the postgraduate degree in general medicine. Both are pursued only after MBBS. MS is for some fields where more of surgical expertise and skills are required. Whereas, MD is mostly non-surgical, but there are some branches where surgery can be part of MD. The prospects of MS and MD are generally the same. A person who completes MS becomes a surgeon while the one who takes up MD is a physician.
