Yes, several countries offer postgraduate medical programs comparable to India's MD/MS degrees in terms of proficiency. In the UK, for example, the Master of Medicine (MMed) provides advanced training in medical specialties and is structured similarly to Indian postgraduate programs. There is also the Diplomate of National Board (DNB) qualification, which is considered equivalent to the Indian MD/MS. Additionally, the Postgraduate Institute of Medicine (PGIM) in Sri Lanka offers internationally recognized specialist training across a wide range of medical fields, following formats similar to those in the UK. If you would like detailed guidance on these pathways, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist further.
