Dear Sachin, unlike the popular notion that after MBBS, its either MS or MD there are multiple options that have scope. UPSC conducts Combined Medical services Examination every year for recruitment into government positions like Railways, Muncipal Corporations as Medical Officers. Surprisingly therr are students who have finished MBBS and are pursuing MBA. Health care projects and Pharmaceutical companies can take credit for that. FMS Delhi, IIM's, IBS Hyderabad, MDI Gurgaon, XLRI Jamshedpur conduct admissions for students based on merit list in CAT exam. Clinical research is another field where there is increased demand for MBBS doctors. ICMR, CIMAP, CCMB hire MBBS graduates for their Clinical research teams. AIIMS, NIMHANS, PGI, TIFR offer courses in this field. MHA is a 3 year Masters program in Health Administration ideally for pursuing Management of Big Hospitals, Clinics, Insurance Companies, etc. Then there is M.Tech in Biomedical Engineering, Biological Sciences. There are other Masters programmes such as MMST, MPH, etc.

Thank you for the elaborate answer mam.. Can u please tell the career opportunities if we do medical administration or get an MBA??? How high is the ceiling for these career options??

Am sorry if this is inappropriate to ask but do they pay well?? (asking as a person who's concerned about the future prospects of these 2 options)

Dear Sachin, as a fresher you can expect a much lesser salary. As your experience increases and you switch jobs, you get a very good pay. And after these courses, you can join MNCs or MultiSpeciality hospitals as Admininstrative heads. In MNCs they take you in Health Care Projects for Medical Coding, Medical Transcription and Insurance Projects as well.
