Surgery at the BHMS/MBBS level is restricted to final suturing in major surguries under guidance by an MS (surgeon), any surgical procedure that can be done in the emmergency room, including putting in IV's, giving injections, dressing up or suturing wounds and lascerations following injuries, procedures like inserting Laryngo-tracheal tubes in emmergency, cleaning up/lancing abscesses and boils, etc.
BAsically, anything that constitutes what is termed as "minor surgery" in modern legal terms is permitted by an MBBS/BHMS graduate. Anything surgery beyond that requires a post Graduate degree study, to be legally permitted.
An interest in leaning anything is individual as always - the teaching is always provided.
Many Pakistani homeopaths are also BHMS trained, but India is one of the few countries to have this intensive training.
I know a family of 2 sisters, one is doing her MBBS, the other is doing her BHMS presently. Their mother is an MBBS/practicing genral practitioner. According to her, our BHMS syllabus is MUCH, MUCH more intensive and difficult. Its becasue added to the MBBS subjects, we have to study the Homeopathic subjects as well!
