Sharing buttons:
last week i made a reaction video to 1.3
million dollars
income of a doctor in the united states
and if you're curious how much junior
doctor like me with just an mbbs degree
makes in india
this video is for you hey friends if
you're new here welcome if you're
already subscribed welcome back i love
you to the stars and back
today let's discuss the juicy but not so
frequently discussed topic of
how much a junior doctor with just an
mbbs degree makes in india that is
how much money does a medical school
graduate who has finished this
internship but hasn't done any residency
or postgraduate training earns in india
i am one of those people
my residency plans are on hold because
of the thing in the air
so i'll be telling you exactly how much
i got paid in four different jobs that
i've had in four different sectors after
graduating med school and also we'll
discuss how much mbbs doctors earn in
general
how being in different types of jobs
affect their incomes
and i'll be using my own exam and again
i'll be using my own example having
either worked in different kinds of jobs
or having had job offers from
different kinds of sectors now this
video is for anyone who's curious how
much junior doctors
make or people in med school or people
who want to get into med school and
their parents to just to
get an idea of what you can expect once
you graduate and like always
please check the description for time
stamps if you just want to watch some
specific portions of the video
so the point at which an mbbs doctor
starts to get paid
is during internship and it will be a
basic stipend medical doctors in india
have to do a compulsory internship
after finishing four and a half years of
medical school they'll be posted for a
month or two in different departments of
the hospital like general medicine
general surgery orthopedics and
pediatrics etc so they can get an
idea on how to manage conditions or
different kinds of conditions
most colleges have internship for one
year but some colleges have it for two
years where the second year will be
spent in a rural area
in some community health center now
during this period doctors will be paid
from the medical
college and not from the hospital they
are working in stipend is higher in
government colleges and
is lower in private colleges and some
private colleges don't pay
anything so my pay as an intern in a
state government run medical college
in karnataka was about 20 000 per month
which was
quite a good amount it's being planned
to be increased to 25 000 per month
which is
quite a handsome pay considering that
this whole year is just
you learning the basics of being a
doctor however in private colleges you
can expect anywhere from 15 000 a month
to
zero rupees a month now what you have to
note is that it also varies by state the
figures that i gave you
is for medical causes in my state of
karnataka
some states pay much lesser some states
like delhi may pay
a bit more now special categories like
students from army medical colleges like
afmc get paid
way more because they would have been
inducted into the army with the rank of
a
lieutenant i think and they get the rank
pay of for lieutenant which is around 70
000 rupees places that have that
one extra year of rural service part of
the two year internship may pay
more in the second year around 25 to 30
000 per month
now once you graduate once you have that
medical degree and a permanent license
to practice
the opportunities become kind of
limitless you'll never be out of a job
unless you choose to
and you can also choose where to work
and what kind of work you want to do you
want to work in a big city like
bangalore or do you want to chill
in a place like goa or lakshadweep do
you just want to work in a hospital do
you want to join government service do
you want to join the army do you want to
join them
a medical startup do you want to have
your own startup do you want to have
your own medical establishment the
opportunities are endless so your pay
will vary depending on
what kind of sector you get into so
let's see what all different kinds of
sectors and jobs pay
if you join as a duty doctor or a
medical officer in a private hospital
this is the most
common route that mbbs graduate takes
because it's easier to get in
your pay will depend on your experience
and your skills and the work hours
you're ready to put in on an average it
ranges from 25 000 to 60 000 per month
but it can go
upwards of one lakh per month depending
on whether the doctor has learnt extra
skills or is
experienced mbbs doctors can learn extra
skills like doing echocardiograms basic
ultrasounds etc and this will increase
pay the pay is
more in metro areas and big cities and
when you come to a small town the pay
becomes 10 to 15k
lesser for a comparable job so my salary
working as a doctor in a private
hospital in bangalore working six days a
week
eight hour shifts was around 55 000 per
month some doctors also do telemedicine
which is basically giving basic
prescriptions and counseling over the
phone
and if you can spend like three to four
hours a day you can make close to a
thousand rupees per day so you can do
the math
if you join government service it can
vary by whether it's a
state government job or a central
government job whether you're on
contract whether you're a permanent
employee
a lot of things if you're on contract in
a state government job the base pay will
be less it'll be around 35 to 45 k
but you will get bonuses for you know
working in rural areas
and meeting some objectives set by the
government if you are employed with the
state government as a full-time medical
officer you can
expect a starting basic pay of 50 to 60
000. this was for the state-run
government hospital
central government hospitals pay much
more i came across a central government
job offer for
about 75 000 for one year contract and a
friend of mine worked for esi hospitals
for around 80 85 000 a month which is
pretty good pay now if you join the army
as a medical doctor you will have the
rank of a captain and you'll get the
rank pay of a captain which is around 80
to 90
000 in hand plus bonuses and other stuff
then comes the exciting option of
joining medical startups
these companies look for doctors to
write medical
articles you know crosstick medical data
edu tech companies will want you to
teach or frame
questions or check questions and things
like that and the pay tends to be
around 40 to 65k so my first proper
job after graduating medical school was
in one such startup and my pay was
around 55000 again now corporate
companies
mncs and factories hire medical officers
doctors to treat their employees as
minor conditions like headaches or
fevers
to major emergencies like heart attacks
or bleeding so i had a job offer for
about 60 000 per month
from an mnc for a one-year contract you
could also work for insurance companies
they need doctors to check medical data
to cross check patient reports they pay
a similar amount around 40 to 60 k
but i personally find this to be boring
so i didn't do much research into it
so the next interesting field is in
academia or
teaching setting if you like teaching
medicine or just biology as a whole
you can work as a tutor or a lecturer in
one of the medical colleges
or in some degree colleges where you can
teach biology subjects like physiology
and in these jobs you can expect a
starting salary of around 30 000
but the work will be quite relaxed so if
you want to do something like that
that's also an option
now the final high risk high returns
option is to start your own private
practice
it can either make you very less money
or a lot of money
mbbs doctors have license to practice
all forms of medicine
and they can even perform surgeries like
vasectomies tubectomies emergency
caesarean sections emergency
appendectomies
etc as long as they have trained in
those fields under a consultant
in a large teaching hospital for at
least six months and they have to show
proof of that experience now as you can
see how much money you make in your own
private practice depends on how much
time you're willing to spend
second how many procedures you can do
safely and legally
and third how big your setup is with
private practice you can make anywhere
from
40 000 a month to 5 lakhs a month like i
said it all depends on you
now not all fresh medical graduates will
have access to the relatively higher
paying
jobs that i had i was in quite a
favorable position
because first i live in bangalore and
second i graduated from the best
government-run medical school in my
state
so i had access to all these good
options but since i took too many breaks
in between to study for a lot of
different kinds of exams
i haven't made much money in total but
that's okay
these exams are going to get me my
residency of choice hopefully
fingers crossed and probably a
good lifestyle later on so i'm not
complaining i'm kind of broke now but
that's okay well that's it from me for
