IT TRAINS A STUDENT TO BE A GOOD FAMILY PHYSICIAN. IT IS THE NEED OF THE DAY IN TODAY'S TIMES OF SUPERSPECIALISATION.

DNB -CET IS NOT REQUIRED BECAUSE MBBS IS SUFFICIENT TO ENROLL FOR DNB IN FAMILY MEDICINE-NR(NEW REGULATION).FURTHER SPECIALISATION CAN BE DONE IN EMERGENCY MEDICINE, GERIATRICS & DIABETOLOGY.

HELLO,

AT PRESNT, THESE ARE THE AVAILABLE SPECIALISATIONS THAT I HAVE MENTIONED.THE DNB BOARD IS LIKELY TO EXPAND THESE OPTIONS FURTHER IN FUTURE, AS THE NEED OF OUR COUNTRY IS TO HAVE GOOD FAMILY PHYSICIANS, WHO TREATS THE PATIENT AS A WHOLE & NOT WITH A TUBULAR VISION THAT SOME SUPERSPECIALISTS HAVE.

ABOUT DNB MEDICINE, IT CERTAINLY GIVES YOU MORE OPTIONS IN SUPERSPECIALISATION THAN DNB FAMILY MEDICINE, BUT HOW LONG CAN ANYONE GO ON STUDYING?A DOCTOR BECOMES ALMOST 35, BY THE TIME HE SETTLES DOWN IN HIS PRACTICE, AFTER DOING HIS SPECIALISATION+ SUPERSPECIALISATION!

FAMILY MEDICINE ALREADY HAS EXCELLENT OPTIONS ABROAD & VERY SOON IT WILL BE THE SAME IN INDIA AS WELL.MANY COMPANIES THAT WANT HEALTH CHECK UP FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES+ FAMILY ARE NOW OPTING FOR THIS BRANCH, AS SUPERSPECIALISTS ARE TOO BUSY FOR DOING ROUTINE CHECKUP & FOR TREATING SIMPLE HEALTH PROBLEMS.
