Hardwork and dedication is the only key to make dreams into reality.

Regarded as the second


God by humans, doctors are highly respected and sort out profession by many.Studying
medicine remains the number one dream and reality of many students in Nepal. The only field
which gives you a separate identity by adding Dr. as prefix before your name right after
Bachelor Degree are MBBS and BDS.
Medicine is a charming field and everyone wants to be involved in this field. However, being
a doctor is not an easy task. It takes years of careful study and more practical knowledge.
Beside being passionate of becoming one, to actually become a real doctor, needs dedication
and strong willpower.The rising demand of doctors across the nation has attracted many
students to pursue a career in it. Respect, status, money is the single side of becoming a
doctor, on the other beautiful side is directly affecting people’s life positively and doing
something for humanity.
Number of medical council registered doctors has jumped from 3,000 in 2000 AD to 13,000
at the end of 2015 AD with an estimated 10,000 active doctors working currently in Nepal and
some 2,000 abroad. We still need 12,000 more doctors in the shortest span of time to meet
WHO criteria of Doctor population ratio. Nearly 300 young graduates of MBBS go to the USA,
UK and Australia every year for further education with added intentions of settling there. Thus,
the number of students hoping to become a real doctor is in mounting every year.
In Nepal, students join MBBS after +2 or A level in bio group science with a minimum of
50% marks in aggregate and in each subject of phYsics, Biology and chemistry separately. After
high school graduation, eligible candidates desirous of pursuing an MBBS program must take
the Medical Entrance conducted by 4 different universities Kathmandu University, BP Koirala
Institute of health and science,Patan Academy of Health Science,Tribhuvan University or IOM.
There are a total 729, 860, 100 and 60 seats in TU, KU, BPKIHS and PAIHS affiliated medical
colleges including scholarships and foreign candidates.
Regarding exams,Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University offer MBBS programs
via their constituent and affiliated Medical Colleges. Whereas BPKIHS and PAHS have their
own independent syllabus, entrance examination and examination patterns. Exams are usually
conducted at the end of july for BPKIHS entrance exam and mid september for IOM or KU. All
students including international students must take the medical entrance exam and pass it.
MBBS program duration is 5 and half years: Pre clinical for two years, Clinical for two and half
years and internship of one year of compulsory rotating residential. For this whole process fee
structure is about 38- 45 lakh depending on university and conditions applied by Nepal
government.
After MBBS degree, students have to get a postgraduate degree(PG) for a particular
speciality which should be of 3 years of course. There are two branches of PG ;medical and
surgical. If a student medical branch then they will be getting a degree of MD(doctor of
medicine) and of surgical branch then they will get a degree of MS(master of surgery). After first
PG then for more speciality which will be also of 3 years of course. For a medical branch they
will get a degree of doctorate of medicine(DM) and for surgical branch they will get a degree of
Master of chirurgiae (MCH). Then after completing the second post graduation degree, third
post graduation degree which is a combined course of MD and DM or MS or MCH called as
integrated program of one year.
Medicine is a long beautiful journey which requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and
patience. Nepal is indeed developing in many aspects but still lacking in aspects of health and
medicine. Number of doctors are graduating every year but still people in rural areas are not
getting treated by doctors in time and leading to a number of deaths. The reason is not
insufficient doctors but insufficient hospital and medical equipment and even after long study
many doctors are unemployed and they have to go abroad to support their lifestyle. Medical
field is such a delicate field which is also dominated by corruption and some medical mafias.
Due to such dominancy eligible students are not getting their rights and have to face problems
of expensive study and they have to protest against these and they have to face as in their
study. Due to expensive study, they have to face high debt which leads them to illegal activities.
Nowadays studying medicine has become a false prestige in society. Just for their pride and
prestige in society parents force their children to become a doctor which may give bad results
leading them to fall in the wrong path. After a long journey with hard work and sacrifices, doctors
are being mistreated then we came to hear news about a doctor being beaten by a patient. It is
probably due to above afters which leads to misunderstanding between patient and doctors.
