To become a doctor, you must follow primarily an education that begins with completing a Bachelor's degree generally in a science-related field such as biology or chemistry. The most common route is to pursue a bachelor's degree in medicine and a bachelor's degree in surgery (MBBS), which is 5.5 years of training that includes both theoretical and practical training culminating in mandatory internship. After obtaining an MBBS degree you can further specialize by pursuing postgraduate degrees like a MD or MS in Medicine which usually take another three years to complete.

No, a graduate with a Diploma in Pharmacy (DPharm) is not generally referred to as a doctor. Hence, Invertis University DPharm holders are not termed as doctors. The title of "Doctor" is generally reserved for individuals who have completed a doctoral-level degree. The candidates with a PharmD, MD, PhD, or other doctoral degrees are called doctors. The graduates with a DPharm degree usually hold the title of pharmacist or pharmacy technician, depending on their specific role and responsibilities within the field of pharmacy.

An MSc MLT alone does not qualify an individual to become a doctor, as it is a specialised programme focused on laboratory techniques, diagnostics, and research.

No, an emergency medical technician (EMT) is not a doctor. EMTs are medical professionals who provide emergency care, but they are not doctors, nurses, or physician's assistants.EMTs are trained to provide basic medical care and first aid to people who are injured or ill and need immediate medical assistance. EMTs work on ambulances, in fire departments, and with air rescue teams. EMTs stabilize patients and transport them to medical facilities.

No, the B Pharmacy course is not equivalent to a Doctor. B Pharmacy is a four-year undergraduate program focused on the study of pharmaceutical sciences, including drug formulation, production, and dispensing, but it does not provide medical practice rights.Unlike MBBS or Pharm D, B Pharmacy graduates are qualified as pharmacists and play a crucial role in drug development, quality control, and patient counseling, but they cannot diagnose or treat patients.
