Hello grandmaster,

You can take Diploma & different Degree or even Degrees in 2 branches for that matter, but MCI doesn't allow simultaneous practice in 2 subjects, so you've to give up one of them, after all that!One of our colleagues did MD Medicine+DVD, but he practices only as a Dermatologist!

Many Universities don't permit doctors to do another MD, but NBE permits them to do DNB in another subject even if they already have a Degree in 1 subject!However when it comes to practice, they've to choose 1 subject!

One interesting exceptional case was of a colleague who wanted to do DM Respiratory Medicine after MD Medicine, but MD Chest Medicine group did not see a need for DM & felt that DTB+MD Chest Medicine were adequate for Indian set up!Mumbai University was forced to cancel DM registration that was already done by then, so as a special case, they allowed her to do MD Chest Medicine!However, she continued in Medicine till retirement.

Asha Paidhungat.

If any one can throw additional light in this regard... Thanks
