Here are a list of the top Institutes in TN (please do check them out when you're done reading all 7 steps)
Professional considerations for selecting a college:
- Rank of the college in India
- Availability of equipment
- Patient inflow
- Faculty
- Location
Step 4: Your Training – Compulsory Internship
Internship is a phase of training wherein a graduate is expected to conduct actual practice of medical and health care and acquire skills under supervision so that he/she may become capable of functioning independently.
An Intern (also called an Internee or a CRRI) is posted in all the clinical departments of the hospital on a rotation basis. This gives him the basic clinical experience in all the disciplines of medicine and enables him to work as a General Physician.
At the end of the internship training, you will be able to diagnose clinical common disease conditions encountered in practice and make timely decisions, use discreetly the essential drugs, infusions, blood or its substitutes and laboratory services. You will be able to manage all type of emergencies-medical, surgical obstetric, neonatal and paediatric, by rendering first level care and much more.
Step 5: Specialisation – Your super power
You can decide to take your adventure further and specialise in another medical degree as well.
This is where you choose your strength and main focus of interest. Perhaps you are a cardiologist at heart or you prefer being an orthopaedic…maybe you have a knack for treating children. Whatever it may be, the choice is yours so choose wisely.
Step 6 : Research and Practice
At this stage you will be practising medicine in your chosen field. You will have to spend time reading up on journals, case studies and discussing issues of your profession with your peers. Keep in mind that the medical field requires constant research.
Finding out about how doctors around the world have dealt with different rare issues can really help you understand a lot more about the field. You will have to put in time and effort to stay up to date.
Step 7: Service to society
Yes, doctors get paid in HUGE amounts when they go down the right path. Yes, they can easily find work globally and can immigrate to many countries like the USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia and so on without much of a hassle. While it is the most rewarding and stable profession, it is also sacrificial and humbling. It is not for the faint at heart.
Most good doctors get paid well. But their goal isn’t just about making more and more money. A good doctor’s goal is to provide service and loyalty to society and fellow human beings. A doctor saves lives, the most precious thing on earth.
