I completed my MBBS from Ukraine in 2024, but due to the war, I had limited opportunities for clinical training. I have no plans to give FMGE since I cannot do a three-year internship. Without medical registration in India, what are the best career options I can explore? I'm particularly interested in healthcare-related fields that don't require an MBBS license, such as PhD programs, health informatics, and health data science. Suggestions on suitable courses, certifications, or job roles in these fields would be helpful.
