Does completing your courses grant me immediate eligibility to practice?

Our courses are thoughtfully designed to enhance your skills, knowledge, and professional development, providing valuable certifications that support your career growth. However, it's important to note that possessing our course completion certificate, diploma, or fellowship alone does not directly grant practicing eligibility. We encourage you to check with the relevant councils, medical boards, or competent authorities in your region to understand the specific requirements for practice approval and licensing. For professionals in India, we recommend consulting the latest guidelines from the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the respective State Medical Councils to ensure compliance with the practice eligibility standards in your chosen medical field.

What Top Hospitals Look for in Newly Hired Doctors (It’s Not What You Think)

Sat Nov 29, 2025

The New Reality of Hospital Hiring

Top hospitals today follow a skills based hiring model rather than seniority based selection
Doctors who wait for experience or promotions fall behind while those who build speciality skills rise faster
Hospitals now prioritise capability confidence speciality identity and readiness to contribute from day one

The Truth Hospitals Will Not Say Out Loud

Hospitals want doctors who already look prepared not doctors who hope to learn everything after joining
They want a doctor who brings value from day one
This value comes from speciality training not just MBBS BAMS or BHMS degrees

Fears Every Early Career Doctor Feels

These fears drive doctors to upskill faster than ever

Fear of being seen as just MBBS
Fear of missing PG and losing years
Fear of not matching patient expectations
Fear of batchmates progressing while they feel stuck
Fear of joining a hospital but remaining in low responsibility roles
Fear of lacking speciality identity
Fear of choosing the wrong direction without guidance

These fears are real and widespread
The solution is speciality based upskilling

What Hospitals Actually Evaluate When Hiring Doctors

Hospitals do not look at marks alone
They look at readiness skill depth and speciality alignment Here is what they prioritise
