I have completed my MBBS in India and I am really interested in laboratory medicine which doesnt require direct patient contact. Can you please suggest me some universities or countries which provide it?

[@luckypsycho6762]

Why not to do laboratory medicine in india itself??

The next round of recruitment into most pathology training posts will now be towards the end of this year when we should all know more about the visa requirements following Brexit. The GMC have issued registration guidance here: www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive/brexit---information-for-doctors. Please keep checking the RCPath website for more information.
