can i do secondary dnb after cps d ortho

Hello,

Diploma in Orthopaedics is a postgraduation level Orthopaedics course. It commonly abbrabbreviate as D. Ortho. Whereas MS Orthopaedics or Master in Surgery of Orthopaedics is a post graduate degree course with 3 years of duration.

Diplomate of National Board (dnb) is a Post-graduate Master's degree same as MD/MS degree awarded to the Specialist Doctors in India after completion of three year residency. ... Doctorate of National Board (DrNB) is a post MD/MS/DNB super speciality degree awarded by NBE.

After D ortho you can do secondary DNB course. But why not do primary DNB at the first place? As far as equivalence is considered, it is completely equivalent and even superior in status to most MDs, else people would not be sitting for dnb exams after their MD course.

All the best.
