On the other hand, some people might prefer looking for a stable job after a bachelor's or master's degree depending on their interests and future plans.So, it completely depends on your interests, the amount of time you can devote to this discipline, and ca

No, a PhD in Medicine typically cannot be pursued without an entrance exam. Most institutions require candidates to pass an entrance exam as part of their selection process for PhD programs. These exams are designed to assess a candidate's knowledge, research aptitude, and suitability for advanced studies in medical science.

No, you cannot practice Medicine with just a PhD if you do not hold an MD. A PhD in Medicine or related fields focuses on research and academic expertise, not clinical practice. To legally practice Medicine, you need to obtain an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or an equivalent medical degree, which includes clinical training and the required licensing exams.

Both PhD in Medicine degree holders and MBBS graduates are considered "doctors," but their roles and expertise differ significantly. An MBBS graduate is a medical doctor who has completed training in clinical medicine and is licensed to diagnose and treat patients. They are trained to provide direct medical care, conduct surgeries, and prescribe medications. A PhD in Medicine holder, on the other hand, is a doctor in a specific field of research and academic inquiry. PhD in Medicine graduates contribute to advancing knowledge through research and are experts in their specialised area but do not provide clinical care. Whi
