I aim to become a clinical laboratory researcher in the medical field, but I am not sure what exam I should take in my 12th class and what is the best courses to opt for my aim. I am currently studying 11th class and have chosen bio maths group. can you help me with it?
There are many ways to become Clinical Laboratory Researcher, but as requested by you, I shall suggest you the best way to achieve your goal (so that your pay scale will be amazing and you will obtain a highly respectable image in society).
Since you want to be a Researcher in "Clinical" area, I would suggest you to prepare for NEET UG , score good in the NEET UG Exam, and get a seat in a Medical College (MBBS). For MBBS, there is no issue if you are not able to get a Government Seat. Even a Private Seat (if you can afford) will do.
If you want to get a Government Medical College, you must target for a score of 650+ and for a Private College, 500+ score is a safe score. If you want to prepare online for NEET UG so as to get a seat in a good Government Medical College, then you may take a look at the NEET UG Courses as offered by Careers360 (with benefits like AI Learning, Personalized Timetables, Mock Tests, 24x7 Doubt Support, etc at affordable rates) - Careers360 NEET Solution: Complete Preparation and Study Materials for Students
Now after completing MBBS (4.5 years Course + 1 year compulsory Internship), try to get MD Pathology (to research about diseases in general) or MD Microbiology (to research about diseases caused by micro-organisms) via NEET PG/NEXT/INI-CET exams. However, unlike MBBS (UG). the college from where you do MD (Post Graduation) matters. Since you want research field, it is highly recommended you do your MD (MD Pathology or MD Microbiology, as per your subject choice) from PGIMER, Chandigarh.
Suppose you take up MD Pathology, here are some clinical research areas you can do in Labs (by taking up further specialization courses/fellowship programs) -
- Oncopathology
- Hematology
- Cytology
- Molecular Pathology
- And many others
And suppose you have opted for MD Microbiology, you can take specialization courses and do research on Infectious Diseases, Bacteriology, etc.
