Duration of Education for different professions: After 10 2 school D.M,Mch (superspecialist doctor) - 12 years (approx) M.D, M.S - Specialist - 9 years (approx) M.B.B.S - Family physicians- 6 yrs (apporx, 5.5 yrs exact)
Staring Salary they get: In govt. sector super specialist - Rs 20,000 (Approx) MD, MS- 15,000-20000 MBBS- 10000-15000
Availaibility of Job in govt. sector very very difficult requires political contacts and or bribe. (This holds true for all professions).
In Private sector low paying jobs may be available. But good jobs rare. So according to govt. there are 600,000 doctors needed but in reality very few jobs available for doctors :) A typical day for MBBS student - 8.00 am-4-00 pm lectures and hospital training, 6.00 pm-8.00 pm hospital training again. Besides this. For MD/MS, DM/McH students - typical 12-24 hours duty every day. Then there is the tremendous responsibility of human health and life that a doctor takes care. But govt. and society are treating doctors shabbily. At least 20-30 years ago doctors were respected in society, but now they are often harrassed. All doctors work in rural health clinics during compulsory internship but conditions there are pathetic. Compare it with any other profession, it is the toughest and the most demanding profession but what doctors in India get in return is a pittance
