The field of orthopaedics offers specialized career options and advancement opportunities are manifold. An orthopaedics practitioner can start working with a public or private hospital, and later practice independently through owned clinics. Other full or part-time choices include teaching in colleges/universities and/or research.
To qualify as a licensed orthopaedics practitioner, aspirants are required to complete the undergrad MBBS programme of any recognized university in India after which they are obliged to write a pan-India entrance exam (PGMET). Some highly rated medical institutions such as AIIMS, PGIMER and AFMC-Pune conduct their own postgrad entrance exams.
Many new developments are evolving in this field as patients’ demands and expectations have increased with greater awareness. New designs of implants for plates, knees, spine etc. are being invented almost daily. Moreover, operation theatres have improved. Better antibiotics, and revolutionary innovations in knee and hip replacement, spinal stabilization surgery, disc replacement surgery and spine deformity surgery, have made orthopaedics an exciting field of medical sciences.
