You can do anything

you can go for MS/MD in pre-clinical, paraclinical or clinical subjects, depending on your area of interest.

You can even do MBA and go into administration!

You can do Law and go into medical law!
The options are endless, and the choice is yours!

The various post graduation courses in the different disciplines of Medicine:

MD

MS

DNB

These require you to appear for the entrance exams just like the pre medical exams.



If one wants to pursue post graduation from the US one has to clear the USMLE.



For UK: PLAB



For Canada: MCCEE



If one wants to join the administrative services in India, then that can also be done by preparing and clearing the exams.



Some people opt for MBA in hospital administration too after MBBS.



So the chouce is vast and the decision is yours!



Good Luck!

The most renowned research institute in India is the ICMR (Indian council for medical research) which is also renowned for its studentship to graduating mbbs students, though the 5000 INR is too low for 2 months, but the experience adds wonders to your resume.

Hospital management is another very fast developing sector which is one trending career option available for MBBS students. IIM (Indian institute of Management) is one worthy but toughest choice.
