Well, you may find n number of websites telling that yes you have scope for BHMS in USA, I'll provide you the accurate answer, Scope is an unknown term the USA. It is a term used in India.

Homeopathy is considered quackery by the medical licensing agencies in thee US and Canada and I doubt you could get anywhere with it. It is not prohibited but it is not seen as scientifically proven. But rarely harmful. Just ineffective.

Those who practice homeopathic medicine in the USA and Canada are self employed and make whatever they can from people who distrust conventional medicine. Rarely does medical insurance cover the cost. According to one source homeopathic practitioners make the equivalent of $34 dollars per working hour. I looked on the government web site for occupations, their outlook and pay ranges and Homeopathic Medicine is not a recognized occupation. It is also not listed as a recognized healthcare occupation.

The scope of a BHMS degree in the US is limited compared to more established medical degrees. Graduates may find opportunities in alternative health sectors, but they often need to navigate complex licensing and regulatory environments to practice legally and effectively. For those interested in homeopathy, pursuing further education or complementary qualifications may enhance career prospects.

I hope you got an idea about your query.

Hello,

Yes, there is some scope for BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) graduates in the USA, but it is quite limited compared to allopathic (MD) doctors.

Homeopathy is not very popular or widely accepted in mainstream US medicine, so practising as a homeopath can be challenging. You might work in alternative medicine clinics or open your own practice, but it won’t be the same as an MD doctor’s career.

If you have an MD degree from a recognised university and want to work as a medical doctor in the USA, you will need to clear the USMLE exams and get a licence. This process is tough but possible.

In short, BHMS graduates have limited options, mostly in alternative medicine. MD graduates have better opportunities but need to clear licensing exams to practise in the US.

Hope it helps !
