How can an AIIMS Delhi student go to John Hopkins after an MBBS? Can you explain the whole procedure?

OR
Ojas Reddy Posted On : June 3rd, 2023
Studies at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (2024)

Pursuing MD/MS in India after completing your MBBS is called Residency and for the exact same thing, the exam in the US is USMLE. In order to get into John Hopkins after an MBBS, 

  • Excellent scores in MLE, 
  • An impressive CV 
  • Valid recommendations.

On average, JHU takes 1-2 international students every session for Residency from all over the globe. There is no fixed procedure for exceptional cases. Most AIIMS students working in JHU complete their residency in the US and worked extraordinarily hard to join elite institutes like JHU as doctors.

Was language and food major (problems) obstacles for North Indians for an MBBS in JIPMER?

MS
Manjil Sharma Posted On : September 21st, 2023
Studied MBBS from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry (2020)

Honestly, the South Indian food served in Pondicherry cannot be tolerated by North Indians for long because they are not used to the spices and the tamarind. But the bright side is, that Pondicherry has some amazing places serving North Indian and continental food. 

I don't think food is a major obstacle for a North Indian MBBS student at JIPMER. Here is what the food at Pondicherry looks like.

The above pic shows scrumptious Bread and Chocolate, Auroville. The restaurants in Pondicherry are amazing so food should be your last concern here.

As a North Indian, my friend faced some major language issues, especially at the time of applying for ward leave. Her worst experience was the RHC posting during her internship. She had to interact with people in rural areas who spoke a more complex version of the language.

Overall, North Indians might miss their food and interact with their locals but not regret choosing JIPMER despite that!

Is there any trip for 1st year MBBS students in MAMC Delhi like AIIMS Delhi?

DS
Darshan Sethi Posted On : October 5th, 2023
Lives in Delhi

Yes, there is an unofficial annual trip for MAMC 1st year students, usually after the end of 1st Professional Examinations in the month of August. The trip is the perfect break from the tiring exams and is highly looked forward to by the freshers. This trip was initiated by the seniors who also accompanied students on the trip.

However, since the trip is unofficial, the students have to bear all the expenses of travel, stay, adventure activities, and meals.

My friend was a first-year student at MAMC and his batch was taken on a trip spanning Saattal-Mukteshwar-Nainital. They started the journey with a bus and soon reached their first destination. Instead of staying in hotels, they set up tents surrounded by lush greenery and lakes and waterfalls. They even organized a campfire and played all sorts of games. Many adrenaline freaks also took part in adventure sports like Rock climbing, Rappelling, Kayaking, flying fox, etc. 

Overall, it was an amazing experience and I recommend going on the batch trip once with your batchmates.

How is the internship (after MBBS) at VMMC Safdarjung Hospital, Delhi?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 26th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

The internship scenario at VMMC is quite disappointing and tiring. The number of patients is so huge in all the departments and interns have to work more than required to get the work done. Their focus is not to learn new procedures but to complete the work and go. Here is the department-wise scenario 

  • Pediatrics : In this department, interns are required to find all the case sheets(files) and reports and arrange them before the rounds begin. They are also responsible for dextrose monitoring and discharges. If you are posted in labor, you will have to ensure the baby’s safety. 
  • Surgery : Here, interns are required to do sampling, dressing, and discharges. In emergency minor OT, you will have to I n D, suturing, catheterization, and such. Interns also go to OT to watch the surgeries. Postgraduate students may let you do procedures like hydrocele on minor OT days.
  • Medicine : The patient load varies from season to season. In dengue season, it’s maximum and you will always be busy doing sampling and cannulation.
  • OBC : Here you are responsible for sampling, cannulation, catheterization, and NST. You can also take deliveries in the labor room.
  • Orthopedic : During emergency days you will be busy with cast and traction. You might also have to do skeletal traction.
  • For other departments like PSM, ENT, Derma, Optha, and Casualty, the workload is comparatively less so you get a lot of free time. 

Overall, through the internships, you will get confident at least in minor tasks, and gain a lot of hands-on experience.

Do 1st year MBBS students of AIIMS Bhopal go for any trip?

AS
Anumita Singha Posted On : June 4th, 2023
MBBS Medicine and Healthcare & Music, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal (2021)

There are no college-sponsored trips in AIIMS Bhopal but the students plan a trip there to get a break from their studies and explore many places. AIIMS Bhopal has a beautiful location with a river, a hill station, and a waterfall in close proximity to the campus. My sister was a batch of 2019 and here are a few trips she made with her batchmates

  • Upper Lake: Bhopal is called the city of lakes and you can always sit by a lakeside and get a breath o fresh air and thought. Upper Lake is the latest lake and is definitely recommended.
  • Mahadev Paani: This is a beautiful waterpark just 30 km from AIIMS Bhopal. The slightly tough journey will be worth the beautiful site you get to witness.
  • Panchmarhi hill station: Usually boys plan a trip here as it is a 4 hrs ride and trains are also available.
  • Kerwa Dam: This beautiful dam is just 17km away from campus. The picturesque landscape is a great stress buster.
  • .Crescent water park and Kanha fun city: You can book an Uber/Ola to go to these waterparks.
  • Bhopal Mela: This is an annual mela with lots of amusement rides, street markets, and food stalls. You will have a great fun-filled experience here.

In addition to these trips, students of AIIMS Bhopal frequently visit Malls and nearby markets.

Every college is good in one or the other aspects. Its location, faculty, and infrastructure are the main factors that determine a college's priority. The following list contains the colleges in order of priority based on their pros and cons.

Pros:

  • Seth GS: Mumbai is expensive and a bond of 1 year needs to be signed

  • CMC Vellore: You will have to learn Tamil as it is located South India. The fee structure is pretty expensive.

  • Other AIIMS: They are usually not located in a good location except for Bhopal and Bhubaneswar.

The preferred order as per the pros and cons can be - BHU> AIIMS> KGMU> Grant> Seth GS> CMC Vellore

One college can be good for you but bad for others. This is because your own needs determine which college is best for you. So choose wisely.

Which is better for an MBBS, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow or Grant Medical College, Mumbai?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three insulations, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow, and Grant Medical College, Mumbai, are well-respected in the field of medicine and have a strong reputation for providing quality education and training to students pursuing an MBBS degree.

AIIMS Patna is known for its top-notch infrastructure and other campus facilities and good academics. It’s the most preferable AIIMS after Delhi. KGMC Lucknow is also a decent college though I am not aware of its infrastructure. GGMC Mumbai on the other hand is the best option of the three. Here is why 

  • Its prime location plays a big role in making it the better option of the 3 institutes. Mumbai is a much more preferred city than Lucknow or Patna.
  • The patient inflow is diverse and huge enabling you to witness a variety of cases both common and rare in your UG itself.
  • Academic-wise too, this institute gives an edge over other institutes. With a well-structured curriculum and highly qualified professors, you will get an amazing learning experience 
  • Great emphasis is given to the attendance and practicals of every subject.
  • In addition to academics, this college is well known for its active extracurricular culture. It has its own Gymkhana at Marine drives in addition to various cultural, and sports events and quizzes.
  • The hostel facilities are also decent as per government standards.
  • There are around 3-4 canteens and food served here is at subsidized rates.

The above list is not exhaustive and there are many more points as to why GGMC is a better choice than AIIMS Patna and KGMC Lucknow. Ultimately, it’s your call to make. If you are after the AIIMS tag, go for AIIMS Patna but if you want to enjoy your life along with decent academics then JJ would be the best choice for you.

How was your first month at LHMC as an MBBS student?

YG
Yashnavi Garg Posted On : October 5th, 2023
MBBS from Lady Hardinge Medical College

My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal. She still vividly remembers how well her first dissection went. She made friends and their best hanging spot became the Statue of Lady Hardinge. All kinds of snacks from tea to noodles were available here. 

The seniors were surprisingly more friendly than expected and introduced juniors to various societies and extended parent-like support. Ragging did not exist even in the smallest form making the campus very safe. She witnessed her seniors organizing functions efficiently making her realize the all-girls environment gave more opportunities to girls here than a co-ed college would ever give. 

It was a month later that she realized that LHMC had never been her dream college or even her batchmates but the college warmly accepted everyone and would help her achieve her dream
