Future Plan

You have to first decide whether you will go for teaching profession or not.

For Teaching Profession

Senior Resident / Tutor / Demonstrator / Registrar -> Assistant Profession (Lecturer) -> Associate Professor (Reader) -> Professor

Check the recent guidelines of MCI (Minimum Qualifications for Teachers in Medical Institutions Regulations).

Super Speciality / Fellowship

Only DNB (Gen Surg) degree is not sufficient if you are planning to settle in metro city. In near future same situation will be seen in towns. There is a tough competition among surgeons.

  1. If you want to continue as General Surgeon, get some fellowship degrees (FMAS, FNB (MAS), FIAGES, FICLS etc) or write MRCS.
  2. If you want to do super specialty prefer MCh > DNB Super Specialty > Fellowship

Fellowship in Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery, Transplantation Surgery are becoming popular.

There are four types of surgeons…

  1. Good Teacher + Good Practitioner
  2. Good Teacher + Poor Practitioner
  3. Poor Teacher + Good Practitioner
  4. Poor Teacher + Poor Practitioner

It is very hard to be number 1 type. Number 2 or 3 type should be the target. Never be number 4 type.

All the best.

    1. You’ll not be medico legally protected if you practice individually without proper degree certificate. You can do practice with other senior surgeons. All the best for future.
