Pursuing a career in the medical field after Arts is generally not possible for traditional MBBS, BDS, or paramedical courses that require Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) at the 10+2 level.

However, here are some alternate options in the healthcare/medical-related field for Arts students:

  • B.A. in Psychology → leads to clinical psychology or counselling.

  • Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) → careers in medical social work.

  • Healthcare Management or Hospital Administration courses.

  • Medical Transcription , Health Technician , or Nursing Assistant diplomas (eligibility varies).

  • Pharmacy Assistant or Nutrition and Dietetics short-term courses (some allow non-science backgrounds).

To enter core medical fields, you'd need to reappear for Class 12 with PCB subjects . Can I be a doctor after taking arts in 12? (https://www.quora.com/Can-I-be-a-doctor-after-taking-arts-in-12)
