Medical science is a vast study concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and chronic bodily conditions. Specialisations like cardiology, orthopaedics and neurology are open for study after the successful completion of an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree.
Cardiology is the field of medical science that is concerned with the health of the heart and the blood vessels. Orthopaedics is the medical branch designated for the health and correction of the deformities of bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles. Neurology is the branch of medical science that evolves with the testing, diagnosis and treatment of disorders and diseases related to the nervous system.
In this article, we shall further look at the core areas of study under each specialisation and the career prospects in each field.
Cardiology, orthopaedics and neurology are master’s specialisations open for students to enrol in after completing their MBBS degree. These post-graduate courses, collectively referred to as MD (with specialisations) are full-time 3-year programmes with extensive practical classes and hospital-serving internships.
The eligibility criteria for enrolling in MD.Cardiology, MD.Orthopedics and MD. Neurology is the successful completion of an MBBS degree with an aggregate score falling under the cut-off list published by the university.
Medical science lays the foundation stone for the health sector, the importance of the field is beyond explanations. The master's degree in medical science is extensively elaborate and in-depth. The course curricula for the mentioned specialisations at the master’s level are as follows:
Major subjects taught for the course of Cardiology are Fundamentals of cardiovascular diseases, Cardiac molecular biology, Cardiac biochemistry, Cardiac pharmacology, Cardiac anatomy, Cardiac physiology, Imagine techniques of the heart, Nuclear Cardiology, Preventive cardiology and epidemiology, Cardiac pathology, Cardiac microbiology, Pediatric Cardiology,, Coronary artery Diseases, Cardiac arrhythmias, Heart failure, Pericardial diseases, Congenital heart diseases, Rheumatic heart disease, Heart muscle diseases, Pulmonary thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertension, Systemic hypertension, Heart muscle diseases, Tumours of the heart, Geriatric heart diseases, Genetics, General anaesthesia, Traumatic heart disease, Non- Invasive techniques in cardiology, and Invasive cardiology.
Major subjects covered under Orthopaedics are Traumatology or General Orthopaedics, Infections and Tumours, Spine Anomaly, Sports Medicine, Amputation, Imaging (foot/ankle), Physical Anthropology, Applied Anatomy, Histology, Applied Radiology, Applied Dental Materials, Nutrition, Physical Anthropology, Child Psychology, Applied Physiology, Applied, Pathology, and Study of Biostatics.
The subject areas in Neurology are Developmental Neuroscience, Clinical Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience, Molecular Neuroscience, Neurophysiology, Neurogenetics, Systems neuroscience, and Neuroimaging.
The demand for medical science is always on the horizon and so does the career opportunities in the field.
Most often, medical science is considered a miracle for its precision and depth of study. As discussed in this article there is never any less complicated or less intricate functioning system when it comes to the medical science of the human body. Mastering these subjects is demanding of time, energy and dedication and so it is very important to choose a field of personal interest for the smooth sailing of course completion. Each field is of equal relevance and need of the hour. Career opportunities are multiple in every other field, especially in this era of rising demand for medical science. Mastering in medical science is an unending process as the journey of learning is a forever process and so students should research well before getting enrolled for specialisations for master’s.
