Specializations after MBBS
There are various specializations that can be taken up after graduating MBBS and these can be grouped into three categories- Clinical, Non-clinical and ParaClinical. The difference lies in whether you are providing the patient with direct care as in a direct diagnosis or treatment. Clinical specialization thus includes face to face interaction with all the patients whereas in the non-clinical roles some can require interaction with patients but they do not provide direct diagnoses.
