An unconventional question, most people want to come to the US/west for training. But I am genuinely interested in Radiology training in India, for a non-Indian, I would be grateful if you can answer the following:
1- Can foreigners do PG training in India?
2-What are the excellent training institutions in India, esp. in Radiology?
3-Regarding radiology training, are there modern imaging modalities in the teaching hospitals, esp. modern MRI/CT?
4-If you can't apply for paid training jobs (which I presume would be the case), how much does it cost for self funded doctors in terms of fees and expenses etc?
5-Are there licensing exams you have to sit? Or will having the USMLE/PLAB/LMCC sufice as an alternative.
I am NOT interested in using the certificate to immigrate to first world country later on, I just want a decent well rounded and genuine Radiology training. I have met many excellent Indian doctors who did all of the training in India, it is a shame they had to take their skills outside their country and live far from their families.
Thank you.
