Hello Aspirant,

You are passionate about Obstetrics & Gynecology but only a diploma option is possible and just in case you want to consider the future scope. But remember, the scope of a diploma is limited compared to DNB./MD. Among the many other specialties you could apply to, DNB Anesthesia, ENT, and Ophthalmology are all good choices with a positive scope of practice. If a work-life balance is most important to you, then Ophthalmology is the better option; if your primary goal is to work in a surgical field and you love challenges, then ENT makes more sense; and if you have no problems with flexible hours and have open interests with getting in to high demand specialties, then Anesthesia will provide you a consistent and stable scope of practice. All in all, I think you should seriously consider which field you could see yourself practicing for a long time, not just because of your current medical rank.
