Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great as per the question asked by you, YES! they are equivalent but both fields have different path to treat patients. MBBS Or Bachelor of surgery ,Bachelor of medicine is the medical undergraduate course in India. It is the path to become a doctor of modern medicine in the country. Where as BAMS is an integrated degree in the medical field, and is specially designed to teach students the systems of the traditional Indian system of Ayurveda.

Due to several side effects of allopathic medicine people are switching to ayurvedic medicine now a days. Well in India it has been in practiced where BAMS Doctor treating people with modern medicines but for perusing MD degree you should have MBBS degree.

Hope you found this answer useful. Stay motivated stay positive.

All the best!
