Hello Arundhati :)
Medical tourism basically refers to people travelling from their country to another country in order to receive medical care (various types) that is equal to or better than the care available in their own country. People travel to the new country for better care, affordability and better access.
The following courses are available:
1. Certificate
2. Diploma
3. Postgraduate Diploma
4. MBA
Depending on what exactly you are aiming for, you can choose from the aforementioned courses.
ICRI and Medvarsity are two of the few colleges that are providing courses in medical tourism.
Eligibility:
Graduate or 10+2/equivalent exam
As in your case, you are about to complete your graduation.
Job Prospects:
There are various positions that you can apply for, including but not limited to medical tourism provider/facilitator, hospital administrator and many more.
The job of a medical tourism facilitator requires you to have extensive knowledge of the healthcare sector of our country along with its laws, rules and regulations. For eg: best place for so and so treatment, most affordable, best facilities with respect to treatment needed, visa restrictions. Apart from these obvious duties, you need to provide visa and lodgings. All in all, you serve as the link between the foreign tourists/patients and our healthcare providers. So, naturally, it also involves the language barrier and the communication solution for it. You can further provide post treatment tourism.
*I read one more question that you have posted regarding MHA, I'd like to inform you that employers generally prefer medical tourism along with hospital administration. So, I suggest that it would be a really good combination.
Hope this helps!
All the best.
