After completing the MBBS course, or during the course, 

young doctors like you are often in a dilemma,

 whether to opt for an MD or MS programme for their postgraduation. When you get admission to a medical college,

 you take a sigh of relief believing that you have made a career

 choice for yourself. However, five-and-a-half years into college,

 you are again at a crossroads, this time with a new question,

 what after MBBS?

To decide, you must first understand the difference between

 

MD and MS. While the MBBS full form is Bachelor of Medicine,

 Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), MD full form is Doctor of Medicine 

 and MS full form is Master of Surgery. As the name suggests,

 both are master's degree courses in Medicine. 

While some know what discipline would be perfect for them,

 they struggle to choose between a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or

 Master in Surgery (MS) degree course.

 This decision becomes all the more difficult if you do not know

 what to expect from these courses. 

This article of Shikha.com brings the key differences between

 MD and MS courses. 

While this research everyone has to do on their own,

 we can help you understand the key differences between

 MD and MS courses. Shiksha.com reached out to a

 few experts and doctors across the country for advice on

 MD vs MS: what after MBBS?

The Difference Between MD And MS

Clarifying the difference between MS and MD, Dr Santosh Shinde, Dermatologist states, “MS is for those fields where surgical expertise and skills are required. MD is mostly non-surgical, however, there are some branches where surgery can be a part of MD. There are various branches in which an MBBS graduate can pursue MS or MD. The choice should be made depending on one’s choice of subject. But, because of growing competition, this may not be possible. After MD or MS, one can join a medical college as a teaching faculty, start his/her own practice or apply for a job in the healthcare sector.”
