GMC Thiruvananthapuram Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

The course curriculum is too heavy and there is lot to learn . Since it is based on helping people I chose this course.And the curriculum is set in such away that we were trained to face health problems in real world in real time.The final year time duration can be increased since there are 6 subjects which are too hard.There will be 3 internal assessment in which total of no less 40 percent should be scored in both theory and practical only then you will be permitted to write the University Exams.

MBBS course is a 5.5 year course.First year is a bit of hassle as we are getting introduced into a new environment First year subjects- Anatomy,physiology and biochemistry.These lay the foundation for our upcoming subjects In second year we have pathology,microbiology and pharmacology.Pathology is very much important as it very useful in medicine.Same goes for pharmacology to know the drug used for treatment. Third year deals with forensic medicine and community medicine Fourth year we have medicine,obs,pediatrics,ent and ophthalmology Then there is a compulsary internship for 1 year Exams are well conducted each year.There are many internal exams.

We are getting a lot of opportunities to practice the things in real people during our postings.faculties will help us to practice our knowledge in the community.each department Will conduct exams after each postings.exams include both practical and theory knowledge.

Curriculum being the one recommended but the National medical council is being followed across the country and has wide range of skill sets to her acquired during the course of 6years. Three curriculum has provided appropriate time for every knowledge to be acquired. First year has subjects dealing with the basics of human life including anatomy physiology and biochemistry. The second year has Pharmacology pathology and microbiology. The clinical subjects starts from second year onwards where we are supposed to go to the hospital to look for various cases

The curriculum is very hectic and hard but we find our own ways to deal with stress along with peer support and mentors. Exams are conducted strictly for corresponding sessionals, models and university final year. End posting exams are conducted in each department after posting in the same.

The curriculum is babded on competancy based which will help us in making self effective in medical field.But the chances for skill development can be increased further to make effective practioners.They are conducting 3 exams per year

Its my childhood ambition to become a doctor. I have strived for it for a long time.. I like to help those who really need of help.. As this proffesion is kind of social service i chose this proffesion.

Our course is based on CBME curriculum. Each student should acquire a minimum of 75% attendance for theory classes and 80% for practical classes. If not cleared the student will not be able to appear for University exam.

This course is well overlooked by our proffesers and our university. They have planned how to achieve our competencies. There are logbook that have to be recorded daily on achieving the competencies. There 2 sessional exam and one model exam conducted every year.

MBBS is actually a good profession even though hectic. The curriculum is CBME orientated thus making us competent for real life situations, improvements can be made in areas including examination schedules and syllabus etc
