Hello Asmi,

Choosing between BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) and pursuing an MBBS abroad depends on your career goals, interests, and circumstances. Here’s a breakdown of both options to help you decide:

BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)

Pros:

1. Focus on Ayurveda : If you have a strong interest in traditional medicine and holistic healing, BAMS allows you to practice Ayurvedic medicine.
   
   
2. Growing Demand : With increasing interest in alternative medicine, there is a growing demand for Ayurvedic practitioners in India and abroad.
   
   
3. Less Competition : Generally, there is less competition for BAMS seats compared to MBBS.
   
   Cons:
   
   
4. Limited Scope : While you can practice Ayurveda, your scope may be limited compared to an allopathic doctor (MBBS).
   
   
5. Career Opportunities : Career options may be more restricted, and salaries can vary widely depending on the location and practice.
   
   MBBS Abroad
   
   Pros:
   
   
6. Global Recognition : An MBBS degree from a recognized international university can provide opportunities to practice medicine worldwide.
   
   
7. Broader Career Options : With an MBBS, you can pursue various specializations, higher studies, and have a broader scope in the medical field.
   
   
8. Infrastructure and Training : Many foreign medical schools offer excellent infrastructure and training, often with modern teaching methods.
   
   Cons:
   
   
9. Cost : Studying MBBS abroad can be expensive, with tuition fees and living costs to consider.
   
   
10. Licensing Exams : You may need to pass licensing exams (like FMGE in India) to practice in your home country after completing your degree.
    
    
11. Cultural Adjustment : Studying in a foreign country may require adjustments to a new culture and education system.
    
    Conclusion

• Choose BAMS if you are passionate about Ayurveda, want to work in alternative medicine, and prefer a shorter course duration.
  
  
• Opt for MBBS abroad if you seek a career in allopathic medicine with broader opportunities, are willing to invest in your education, and aspire to practice medicine globally.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your personal interests and career aspirations. Consider your long-term goals, financial situation, and the type of medicine you want to practice before making a decision.
