Help your Fellow Doctor!!
I’m a 23F BAMS student currently in my 2022 batch, graduating in 2028. I’ve reached a point where I need to be honest with myself: I do not want to practice Ayurveda.
My goal is Allopathy, but I’m feeling stuck. I have no interest in an MD (Ayurveda) and want to figure out my path before I graduate.
I have two main lines of inquiry:
The US Route: Is there any realistic pathway for a BAMS graduate to enter the US healthcare system in an allopathic/clinical capacity? (USMLE, MPH as a bridge, etc.?)
The India Route: Are there any legitimate bridge courses or lateral entry options to practice modern medicine if I want a decent salary?
I’m looking for blunt advice, personal experiences, or alternative career paths that don't involve traditional practice. What would you do in my shoes?
