Alternative Route For A Medical Professional
Careers 360
|July 2019
The new mantra of modern living is to go for the natural way and adopt pets as a stress buster. So, demand has become quite attractive for qualified professionals in Indian systems of medicines, homeopathy and veterinary sciences…
When one thinks of medicine as a profession, the qualifications that come to mind are MBBS or BDS. These are but two qualifications to reach that goal. Indian systems of medicine (ISM) namely Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani Tibb and Sowa Rigpa as well as Homeopathy are the other alternatives to a degree in allopathy. There is also Veterinary Sciences for one who wants to give medical care to animals, birds and livestock.
It is commonly known that admissions to MBBS and BDS are through NEET. What is relatively unknown is that entry to ISM and veterinary sciences are also through NEET.
Commonly called the Ayush courses, they come under the aegis of the Department of AYUSH, Government of India. The Central Council for Indian Medicine (CCIM) is the statutory regulatory body constituted under Indian Medicine Central Council (IMCC) Act 1970 to regulate the Ayush education at degree and postgraduate (PG) levels and their practice. They can be classified as:
AYURVEDA
The Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) is a course of 5 1/2 years’ duration, inclusive of 1-year mandatory internship. Students who complete the course become Ayurvedacharya. The course comprehensively covers the history of Ayurveda, Sanskrit and Samhita, Ayurvedic Philosophy, Anatomy, Physiology, compendium of Charaka, general surgery and parasurgical techniques, ENT, eye and dentistry, Paediatrics and Yoga.
After completing the course, students can practise either as physicians or surgeons. They can also pursue postgraduate (PG) studies or move into academia as teachers, scholars or researchers.
