This is a question which comes in every dentist’s life. As soon as we come to the internship, this question starts troubling us and i was also in this phase at sometime and i also used to calculate the advantages and disadvantages of every option.
As you all know that the conditions of dentists have changed a lot in the last 15 years. Now, in India the life of dentist is not a cakewalk. We have to struggle a lot to live a smooth life whose simple reason is demand and supply rule. Every year 2.5 lac dentists pass out but we don’t need this much dentists in our society. That’s why many of us choose different options from dentistry.
So, let’s see what are those options that you can choose.
But before selecting remember that every person is different. We all have different strength, weakness and interest. The option which is good for your friend will also be good for you is not necessary.So, choose wisely.
OUR SECOND OPTION IS DENTAL POST GRADUATE COURSE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
If you will search on the internet, you will get many of the coursescourses which can give you the degree of post graduate but many of these courses are not recognised by DCI.You will find difficulties during getting a job or you can complete the courses and settled in the respective country. But if you have done the courses for learning specialisation then you will get it.
OUR THIRD OPTION IS OPEN DENTAL ACADEMY
In India poor type of education is being provided in the colleges and you can take advantage of this by opening your own academy.
We have many examples that being BDS also people are excelling in a particular field.
They document their cases and then they sell their experiences and you can also select this option.
If you have the talent then this option is also too good.
OUR FOURTH OPTION IS OPEN DENTAL CLINIC
Many of us will choose this option. I had also done the same because I had not that much talent that i could clear the government exams and I didn’t have that much money too that i can buy an MDS seat. I also don’t wanted to change my field. So, I had opened the clinic.
I had done some mistakes while opening the clinic and I had suffered from it’s result for many years.
You don’t do the same mistake so for that you can watch my old video ‘Ten Mistakes In Opening Dental Clinic’ . Link is given in the description.
OUR SIXTH OPTION IS GOING ABROAD AFTER BDS
Who don’t want to do job in America, Canada and Europe. So, now your competition is not only with Indian Dentists but with Global Dentists but once if you get the entry then all your labour is successful because you will earn way more than India.
If you have the talenttalent, money and patience then you can surely move to developed countries and if you lack of one then you can move to Middle East Sandi Countries for jobs. Here also you have to clear exams and you must have the experience of two years.
It happens many times that if you are unable to clear your DDS exam then foreign countries give you more opportunities like MBA, MHA, MHD, DENTAL HYGIENISTS, MASTER IN PSYCHOLOGY, DENTAL TECHNICIAN.
OUR EIGHTH OPTION IS CLINICAL COSMETOLOGY
If you are doing this course then you can provide these types of treatment like treating scars, hair transplant, removal of dark spots.
The knowledge which you have got during BDS will help you here in doing treatments. Many dentists keep it in add on with their dental clinic. But you can make your career in this.
Friends, options could be more but you have to select an option according to your interest and talent because every option is good if you do it by all your heart.
IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM YOUR CORE FIELD THEN OUR NINTH OPTION WILL BE MBA/MPH/MHA FROM ABROAD.
If you think that you have good management and communication skills then this option is for you.
But your job package and placement will depend on your college. So, if you choose this then work hard to clear entrance exam otherwise if you will get your master degree from a useless college then you will not get a good job.
OUR TENTH OPTION IS DIGITAL MARKETS
India is seeing digital revolution. Today everyone read about any diseases on internet or watch related videos. Because of this every doctor and clinic wants to come on internet in which they spend a lot of money. You can also take advantage of this and make your career. You can put your videos on Facebook and youtube and earn money but it’s not as easy as it sounds.
You can be a blogger by making websites for patients and dentistsdentists or you can be a medical content writer and can do free Lansing too. Or you can learn digital marketing and can can do it for the customers.
OUR ELEVENTH OPTION IS BEING A DENTAL TECHNICIAN/DENTAL SHOPKEEPER
Because we work on patients so we know exactly what patients demand and what dentists require from lab. So, if you can open your own dental lab then there are more opportunities that you can make your career well. And if you are a good business man then you can also sell the dental material and can find a good career in it.
OUR TWELTH OPTION IS MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTS OR MEDICAL CODING
If you are not searching your career in clinical field then it can be a good option. Many insurance companies from country abroad can provide you money for interpreting the doctor’s language. The advantage of this job can be when your friends will be searching for jobs your earning must have started at that time. You can get the opportunity to go to abroad or you can do the job by working at home too. And if you are ambitious then you can start your own company in future.
