Which is the best? MBBS or BAMS courses
It is very difficult to tell which is better among the MBBS and BAMS courses. Both the courses are equally competitive and both will fetch good earnings. The MBBS doctor practices the modern medical system or commonly called as allopathic medication treatments. While the BAMS doctors will follow the 1000 years old Indian Ayurvedic Medical System that has been proved effective and better than allopathic medicine in many instances. Both are doctors at the end of day, it is the way which they practice and believe.
The choice totally depends upon the candidates, if he/she is interested to become a normal physician and practice allopathic medicine, then he/she can go for MBBS. If the candidates believe in the Indian Medical System, then BAMS course is the best bet for them
