FRCP
Try and find a doctor who has DM in Endocrinology or cardiology- they are the specialist in Kolkata/India. Better still go to a specialist who has trained abroad and has MRCP CCST(UK) or MRCP, CCST, FRCP (UK) or board certification/fellowship (USA)
The Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians (MRCP) is not a specialist in itself but rather a postgraduate qualification for physicians in the UK and other countries. It signifies that a doctor has passed a series of exams assessing their knowledge and clinical skills in internal medicine. Holding an MRCP can lead to further specialization, but it is primarily a credential that demonstrates a physician's competence in general medicine.
MRCP stands for Membership of the Royal Colleges of Physicians, a postgraduate qualification in the UK for doctors who have completed their initial medical training and wish to specialize in internal medicine. MBChB, or Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, is an undergraduate degree awarded to medical students, signifying their completion of medical school. Together, these qualifications indicate a physician's foundational medical education and subsequent specialization.
This depends on which specialist you want. If you are NRI or living abroad then you are better off going to a doctor trained abroad having degree of MRCP CCST with or without FRCP ( with FRCP is better) or Board certification and Fellowship (USA) A simple search of 'MRCP FRCP CCST Doctor' and the speciality brings out these results: Cardiologist: Dr. Suvro Banerjee, Dr Rabin Chakraborty General Medicine: Dr. Anirban Chakraborty Respiratory: Dr. Raja Dhar, Dr Sumit Sengupta Diabetes: Dr. Kalyan Gangyopadhyaya, Dr. Anirban Chakraborty It appears that there are very few doctors trained in USA who practice in Kolkata. If you are looking for local experts, at least find a doctor who has done DM. For surgical field, you need a doctor with MCH and FRCS ideally. Hope this helps
