Should You Consider Moving to Abroad After MBBS/MD? 🤯 For All The Medicos | @AcademicallyMedPrep

According to the latest survey done, more than 75K Indian trained doctors, are working in various developed countries. That means, such doctors, who studied and trained in India, but settled in foreign. Out of them, 45k plus, are in the US, 19K are in UK, 5K in Australia, and rest in other countries. The trend of Indian doctors settling in foreign countries are increasing every year. Some doctors, even after studying super-specialist, they give foreign exams again, to settle ther

e. despite the fact that they have to do the residency there as well. I am sure, that every Indian medical student in his/her 8-10 years of long and tough journey, may think sometimes, that "Where I am stuck? Day in and out, heavy studies, countless duties, unlimited patient load, and toxic work life. It is better to go in foreign, work peacefully and earn a lot of money there." Even I also thought about this many times. But, due to some circumstances, we decided to settle in India

only. I am absolutely happy for that. It ma happen that you have this question in your mind till now, "Should I settle in abroad?" If yes, then how much time, energy, and money will be required for this? Should I risk everything, for that difficult dream? We will discuss about some important factors which will help you take this decision. We will talk about the practical things only, which matters in real life. The 1st factor, which compels Indian doctors to leave India is unnecess

ary toxicity and ragging in government hospitals, specially, during residency. This is a major drawback particularly for state medical colleges, where resident doctors are literally treated as a donkey. From shopping of professor's children, to bringing breakfast of the entire department, all the responsibilities are on the resident doctors only, over and above all the unlimited patient load. Taking out the 100s of patient's blood samples everyday, to arrange blood for them, or mak

ing patient's register in government schemes, and completing all of their procedures all the responsibilities comes under resident doctors only. Minimum, once or twice in a week, there is 36-48 hours of continuous duties are assigned to them where, they have to work continuously, without eating, drinking, and sleeping. Even nurses and ward boys scolds them here and there. The respect for doctors are decreasing in society. These days, patients and doctors conflicts keep coming forwa

rd. Even though, India's health care is the most affordable healthcare system in the world. Contrary to this, foreign health care systems are very well organized for doctors. There is no unnecessary toxicity and useless works are not practiced. You will be treated very respectfully, by all the staff, colleagues, seniors, and patients. You have to work for fixed duty hours, which is 40-70 hours per week, varies according to country. That means, maximum 8-10 hours per day. After th

at, your are completely free. Unlike India, 36-48 hours of duties are not worked there. You can very well maintain your personal and profession work life balance. No. 2: There is too much hierarchy, in working level, in Indian hospitals. A resident doctors cannot talk while making eye contact, to his unit's professor. There is so much of fear for them. Even if he/she wants to talk to is/her seniors, then he/she needs to think a lot before talking. Even by mistake, if he points mist

ake of that senior, or if he suggested something, which he(senior) didn't know, then their(senior's) ego gets hurt instantly. Because of it, they(resident doctors) suffer for a long time, by seniors. There is very minimal hierarchy, in foreign, comparison to this. Both seniors and junior's work are divided. All are treated equally in team, and then decision are made for patient's management. Even you can give your views and suggestions directly to your HOD as well. They accept it

politely, if your suggestions are relevant. Here, I am not at all, promoting you to go to foreign, or there is nothing remaining in India. You can live a very quality life after getting finished that hectic residential period. But, these are the facts, by which every Indian doctor suffers. If IIT passed out most talented engineers of India, earns in Crores, by settling in foreign, become CEOs of great companies, they get respected, then if doctors also do the same, then there shoul

d be nothing wrong in it. Life is given only once, and everyone has the right to make their dream life. If you are also an Indian medical student, and want to settle in foreign in future, then you have to clear USMLE for USA, PLAB for UK, and AMC for Australia. ACADEMICALLY will help you for this. It is specially designed to crack foreign exams. It is all-in-1 platform. Here, not only coaching, but from visa to placement assistance, everything is covered under 1 group. They have cr

ash courses too, for last moment rescue guidance. Not only doctors, but nursing, pharmacists, dentists, and physiotherapist, like healthcare workers, if want to settle in foreign, So, their respective exams like, NCLEX, KAPS, ADC, APC, from clearing them to their placement assistance, all the support is given to them as well. The link is given in the description, and you can click on it and check it out today. No. 3: Exam toughness and expenses. This particular factor is comparativ

ely better in India, in NEET PG. NEET PG is an exam, which you have to give after your MBBS to get admission in residency. It is a single step MCQ based exam without any interviews. You just have to prepare very well, and if you give a strong attempt, then there are good chances that you will pass in the 1st attempt only, then you can get directly a PG seat, without wasting a single month. After that, your residency gets started, which varies, from 3-6 years, according to your bran

ch. Exam fees, are max to max 4k-5k. Compare to that, foreign entrance exams, like USMLE, PLAB, or AMC, are much more, tougher and expensive. There are 2-3 levels of exams, and you have to crack interviews as well. Again, there is a risk of bias always. Apart from that, your CV should be very strong. Observership, Paper publication, Connections, recommendations, and what not, and it can take from 1.5 years to 4 years just to crack these exams. After that, your residency is left,

which varies from 6-12 years, according to your country and branch, But, if you take decisions timely, and start early preparations, then it is worth to take, this risk. Once your exam is cracked and your residency is matched there, then after that, your life becomes very easy comparatively. No. 4: Quality of life. We all know, that quality of life is very much better in developed countries as compared to India. From Hospitals, to road infrastructure, clean air to ease of taking gove

rnment approvals, and policies, there is fun definitely in living there. That is the major benefit, because of which, not just doctors but many other Indians, are also moving out of the country. I am not here to preach down India. These are just facts, which you can find online everywhere. However, India is also rapidly progressing towards becoming a developed countries. According to Modi ji, India will become developed countries, by the 2047. No 5: Last but not the least, the most i

mportant factor to settle in foreign, is good money. But, I would like to tell here, it's not what it seems. Because you cannot make direct comparisons, that if your are making 1lakh dollars in USA, then in India, it will be same as Rs 1 Lakh No. Here, comes the purchasing power's parity concept. That means in the 1st go, even though, the dollars value may seem more strong and powerful in comparison to the Indian Rupees. The USA's lifestyle an spending are also of the same leve

l as its earnings. Currently, if we match the PPT, at this point of time, then, if you are earning, Rs 1 Lakh, and Rs 3.5 Lakhs, in Us, then that is absolutely same. Meaning, whatever you can buy in India for ₹ 100,000, if you want to buy the same thing in the US, it will cost you ₹ 3,50,000 lakh. That means, ₹ 3,50,000 lakh equal to American dollars. If we talk about doctors, so the number of years of your residency in USA or India, then the salary are same in both the country. Th

ere is no big difference. Obviously, you have to work thrice to get the same salary. That is a different thing. But, according to the PPT, there is no difference seen in salaries. But, after completing your residency, after 5-7 years, when you become consultant doctor, then comparison to Indian consultant doctor, foreign consultant doctor's salaries are more. You can do good amount of saving. If you invest the same saving in India, then it looks much more bigger. So, money is defi

nitely better in the long term in foreign countries. This factor should be in your mind, if you want to make any decision. The only drawback that I have seen, foreign medical students expressing is, they miss India, and their family members. That particular drawback haunts you much more, than all the other above factors that we have discussed. No matter wherever you go in the world, you will not find anywhere else as warm and homely a feeling as that of India. That thing, haunts

throughout the life. Specially, during the initial few years, when you are alone. When gradually, spouse and family members shift to that place, then that feeling vanishes. Then you slowly integrate into the culture there. You may ask, "Sir, you told us so many benefits. Why you didn't go there?" I belong to a non-medical background, and I didn't found anyone to guide me like this. After coming into the internship, I felt, if I would have moved to foreign, then I would have lived

a better life. But, till then, according to my personal goals, it became a bit late. I already belong to a general category. I have done so much of struggles since the birth, to reach here. Due to poorness, if I will study for more 2-3 years , exam fees, its observership expenses, all of that makes, Rs 15-20 lakhs. I had not that much of money. If, you are in 2nd or 3rd year of MBBS, and want to crack the USMLE exam, and if you will work hard and prepare dedicatedly for it, then y

ou can easily finish the 1st 2 steps for USMLE by the ending of MBBS. After that, you can match the residency by completing all the formalities in 1 year, and can start the residency easily over there. Then, that much time and money is not wasted. So, early decision making, is very important to crack, foreign entrance exams. If you make late decisions, then you may need to prepare for 3-4 years, by taking drops, your few years will be taken here, and there you have to start your e

ntire residency again. Although many of my friends have done this, and still they are happy. These things should be in your mind.
