Over 50000 MBBS students graduating every year from 385 medical colleges across the country undergo the stressful-uncertain phase of their life. Nearly two lakh young doctors in our country spend 2-5 years in coaching after successfully completing five years of MBBS, mugging MCQs rather than treating patients and learning the art of healing." Reason: There are just 23000 postgraduate seats for which they all have to fight, this includes the candidates passed in previous batches. Over 6,000 seats lie in non-clinical subjects like forensics, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry which don’t interest youngsters due to “less return”. In the US for 19,000 undergraduate seats,there are 32,000 postgraduate seats. UK also has same ratio. Lazy Myopic policy: After independence, India adopted “undergraduate education” as the basic education based on Dr Joseph Bhore Committee’s report(in 1943) to tackle the health issues (Communicable diseases which can be managed by basic doctors)
