PG Medical Direct Admission via Management Quota can be possible in India after qualifying NEET-PG entrance exam after completing MBBS conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences New Delhi.
A PG Medical course refers to a specialized postgraduate training program pursued after completing an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery). These courses allow doctors to dive deeper into niche specialties and super-specialties, expanding their skill sets to practice medicine at an advanced level.
In India, PG Medical courses are offered in two main training formats – MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery) degrees or DM (Doctorate of Medicine) and MCh (Master of Chirurgiae) super specialty degrees.
In recent decades, advancements in medical technology and healthcare treatments have increased, branching out into specialized domains, where an MBBS doctor previously may have provided generalized care, the current landscape requires advanced training. A PG Medical course fulfills this knowledge gap.
Pursuing an MD or MS allows for specialization into over 30 niche subjects, from Cardiology, Neurology, and Gastroenterology to Dermatology, Anatomy, Microbiology, and more.
This enables providing targeted medical care equipped with cutting-edge domain understanding. Further super-specialization for highly technical intervention-based care is enabled by DM and MCh degrees in upcoming super specialties.
