Hello Aspirant,

A pathologist, a medical professional who specialises in pathology, would be in charge of the microbiology department of a pathology lab, maybe a pathologist with additional training in microbiology. A microbiologist is qualified to work in a lab that examines human samples and has at least a bachelor's degree in the field.

Since the basic eligibility requirements state that you must complete MBBS from an accredited institution in order to pursue an MD or MS, you must first complete MBBS in order to pursue an MD in pathology. You cannot pursue an MD in pathology after earning a BSc in microbiology. You can, however, pursue an MSc or Master of Science. The MSc programme offers a number of specialties, including Applied Microbiology, Industrial Microbiology, Medical Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and others. Once you earn your Master's, you will have access to a variety of employment prospects. In industries including pharmaceutical firms, chemical workshops, the food industry, laboratories, research labs, private clinics, etc., you can find employment. You can pursue a PhD after earning your MSc because microbiology has a wide range of research opportunities.
