Homeopathy differs significantly from conventional (allopathic) medicine in its approach to treatment, diagnosis, and healing. While conventional medicine primarily focuses on treating symptoms and underlying causes of diseases using pharmaceutical drugs and surgical interventions, homeopathy operates on the principle of "like cures like," where highly diluted substances are used to stimulate the body's innate healing ability. Homeopathic remedies are tailored to the individual, considering not only physical symptoms but also emotional and psychological factors. Conventional medicine tends to follow a more scientific and evid

BPT course differs significantly from other medical courses like MBBS and Nursing in terms of scope, training, and career focus. MBBS is a medical degree that trains students to become doctors, enabling them to diagnose and treat various illnesses, perform surgeries, and prescribe medications. Nursing, on the other hand, is a healthcare profession that focuses on patient care, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and supporting doctors in a clinical setting. BPT, in contrast, is a paramedical course that focuses on rehabilitation and physical therapy, where graduates work to improve mobility, reduce pain, a

No, BPT course graduates, also known as physiotherapists, are not qualified to prescribe medicine. Unlike medical doctors with an MBBS degree, physiotherapists focus on non-invasive treatments like rehabilitation, physical therapy, and pain management to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. While physiotherapists play a crucial role in improving mobility, strength, and overall physical function, they do not have the authority to prescribe medication or perform surgeries.

MBBS is a medical degree that qualifies graduates to become doctors who diagnose diseases, prescribe medication, and perform surgeries, while BPT focuses on non-invasive treatments such as rehabilitation, physical therapy, and pain management. MBBS has a broader scope, covering various specializations in medicine, but it is also more competitive, lengthy, and demanding. On the other hand, BPT is a shorter and more focused course that leads to quicker job opportunities in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and sports clinics. Students who prefer direct patient interaction and non-surgical treatments may find BPT more suit

The BPT course is not a traditional medical doctor's degree like MBBS, but it does grant graduates the title of “Doctor” (Dr.) in a professional capacity. Physiotherapists specialize in rehabilitation, physical therapy, and pain management without prescribing medicines or performing surgeries. Upon completing the BPT course and obtaining a license from the respective state council, graduates can use the prefix “Dr.” before their names.
