Ques. Which is better: An integrated five years course into DM neurology (NIMHANS) or completing my MD in general medicine and then specializing in DM neurology?

● Top Answer By Bidita Ghose on 30 Sept 23

Ans. In my opinion, it’s best to complete an MD in medicine first rather than pursuing DM Neuro directly after MBBS.  It is so because M.B.B.S. students receive minimal clinical exposure and therefore their interest in a particular field might not be genuine. They might later regret their choice.  An integrated program is a 5-year program that requires a lot of commitment. So, if you go for a field you are not interested in, you will be wasting 5 years of your life. Even if you are sure of your interest in neurology, you may not actually like it when you start working. That being said, it's better that you do MD in medicine, have first-hand exposure to all the specialties, and then choose one for you.  People often choose integrated courses so as to save one year of education. However, they fail to recognize the risks involved.  Ultimately, unless you love neurology passionately and have enough exposure in the same, go for direct DM, else completing MD would be the safest bet. Read more

Ques. Which is better for an MD in general medicine, KMC Manipal or Mangalore? I got allotted in KMC Mangalore. Should I need to upgrade?

● Top Answer By Pratik Parikh on 28 Sept 23

Ans. My friend was an MBBS Student at KMC Mangalore, so here are some highlights of the institute The clinics are well-equipped and the patient lod is also decent. Enjoys a good reputation among the medical colleges in India. It’s bad one private hospital, KMC Attavar, and one Super specialty hospital, KMC Jyothi Circle The workload is a lot because the hospital is completely managed by residents and interns. You will be responsible for everything from OPD to file maintenance to rounds to sample collection.  Students are required to be proficient in each case early in the morning as they will be enquired about every patient that they are allotted You have to update treatment and paperwork, attend class, and be ready to present short bedside cases. PG students have to attend a theory class in the morning and in the afternoon twice a week, there is short group teaching, with the presentation.  Students need to learn basic Kannada without which you won’t be able to interact with patients.  The hostel facilities are great and Mangalore is a city of students so it won’t be difficult to find good food at low prices, beaches, bars, clubs, malls, etc Mangalore is a port city so it's better connected than Manipal.  There is a dual rating system wherein the professors rate the students, and students rate the professors. This helps the college to keep a check on the quality of education and improve energy year. It will definitely be a great choice if you choose KMC Mangalore.Read more

Ques. How is the life of medicine PG in AIIMS Delhi? Is this the best for MD medicine?

● Top Answer By Shivam Negi on 30 May 23

Ans. The exact word to describe the life of a PG student in AIIMS Delhi is ‘hectic’. The MD Medicine program is quite challenging and tiring. A typical day in the life of a first-semester resident doing Medicine at AIIMS can be described as follows- You will have to wake up as early as 6:30 am and reach for work by 7. Managing to have your breakfast is a great achievement. You will have to reach your war and start sampling assigned by your seniors before 10 AM as no samples are accepted after 10. Next, you will start preparing for the clinical rounds and go through files and reports and be ready to present them to the consultant during rounds. These rounds are very tiring and sometimes extend till the afternoon. However, it's from these rounds that you will be gaining hands-on experience and learning new things every day Once the rounds end, you'll have to do tasks related to what you learned from the rounds. This may involve doing a bone marrow/ lumbar puncture/ pleural tap etc or fetching some reports. In the evening you will be going through the morning reports and discussing and planning the future plan for your patient. During this, you have to write notes in the clinical files. After this, it will be dinner time that marks the end of your work routine.  Additionally, there will be OPDs every third day, and Radio-conferences, clinical case discussion classes, Journal clubs, etc. Once you become a senior, things will be easier and you will have more time to study and involve yourself in academic activities. Coming to your second question, well AIIMS Medicine is considered the best in the whole of India. What makes it the best is its extremely qualified faculty, genius seniors, and excellent infrastructure. The institute mostly deals with diagnostic dilemmas referred from everywhere and this offers a fun and fulfilling experience to students in taking their case to a diagnosis. The real-time experience you will be getting just in the first year is undoubtedly the best one could ask for. Another major highlight of AIIMS is its diagnostics. You can get almost any investigation/ radiological procedure to back up your diagnosis.  Overall, as an MD student at AIIMS, you will surely experience a hectic life but the gratitude of your patients will leave you with a feeling of satisfaction. Read more

Ques. Is it worth it to give up MD general medicine for MD emergency medicine at AIIMS Rishikesh? I am interested in both.

● Top Answer By Akrit Kakkar on 30 May 23

Ans. That depends on what you value most in a career. Both MD General Medicine and MD Emergency Medicine are highly respected and challenging specializations, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. General Medicine is a broad field that covers the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. For this, you need to have a strong base in medical science, along with excellent diagnostic and problem-solving skills. MD Emergency Medicine, on the other hand, focuses on the immediate diagnosis and treatment of acute and life-threatening medical conditions, such as trauma, heart attacks, and stroke. For this, you need quick thinking, excellent clinical skills, and the ability to work well under pressure. Personally, I feel that you should have knowledge of both emergency and non-emergency situations because each and every disease has the complications that make it an emergency. However, academically you wouldn't get the recognition of a full-fledged medicine specialist. You can not opt for Superspeciality courses other than critical care.Read more

Ques. What is the number of MD/MS seats at PGIMER Chandigarh?

● Top Answer By Praniti Ranjan, on 23 Nov 21

Ans. The number of MD/MS seats at PGIMER Chandigarh changes every year, every session, according to your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, Sponsored, etc.) and branch or department. This is because for every session admission to the vacant seats is based on the previous pass-outs in that branch or department. It also depends on the demand of a particular work in that department and other factors. Check the JSP Page website - pgimer.edu.in before every session to get the exact number of seats available in that particular session. This session there are a total of 148 seats and 33 of them are for the General category students.Read more
