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

AB

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

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.

Can someone give me a priority order for these MBBS colleges Seth Gs , Grant, KGMU, BHU, CMC Vellore, AIIMS (except Delhi)?

NM
Nikhil Mishra Posted On : November 18th, 2022
M.B.B.S. from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (Graduated 2017)

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:

  • BHU: No requirement to sign a bond

  • Seth GS: Located in Mumbai with the best academic structure 

  • KGMU Lucknow: The location and academic structure are perfect.

  • Other AIIMS: No need to sign any bond and the fee structure is affordable. AIIMS tag can help you with USMLE purposes.

Cons:

  • BHU: Located in Varanasi, it lacks the facilities of metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai

  • 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

Harsh Sinha Posted On : June 5th, 2023
Mbbs in Medicine and Healthcare, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal

Students in the MBBS program at AlIMS Bhopal can expect a challenging and rigorous course of study. They will be required to attend lectures, participate in laboratory work, and complete clinical rotations. Additionally, students will be required to pass a number of exams and assessments throughout the program. However, there are also occasional fun events and hangouts that make the academics bearable.

A day in the life of an MBBS student at AIIMS Bhopal looks like this

  • 7:30–8:00: wake up
  • 8:30–12:30: classes
  • 1hr lunch break
  • 1:30–4:30: classes

Once the classes are over, you can do whatever you watch. Different students can be seen doing different things like playing games, studying, hanging out, watching movies, and other activities.

Life at AIIMS Bhopal is the right mix of fun and studies. Some students love exploring their books while some want to explore beyond. You are free to study whatever and from wherever you want. Such a sense of freedom is quite surreal. 

Apart from academics, there are fests like Pravah, the intra-college sports and cultural fest. There are many extracurricular activities. 

Overall, the life of an MBBS student at AIIMS Bhopal can be demanding and requires a high level of dedication and commitment. However, the quality of education and the opportunities for growth and development are unparalleled, and many students who graduate from the program go on to become successful and respected medical professionals.

What is the advantage of doing an MBBS from CMC Vellore, and how is it as compared to other premier institutes like AIIMS and JIPMER?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

As a final year MBBS student at CMC Vellore, I can offer you some insights on the benefits of joining CMC.

CMC Vellore

Here are the advantages of doing an MBBS from CMC Vellore rather than doing it at AIIMS/JIPMER -

  1. CMC Vellore receives a huge patient inflow, which is around 8000 patients per day. CMC offers a wide exposure of rare and common diseases to students during their clinical postings.
  2. The faculty is nationally and internationally renowned. The CMC teachers are devoted towards carrying out new research activities, and they are very supportive as well. But in this case, AIIMS and JIPMER are equally good.
  3. CMC follows the best protocol system among premier medical institutes in India. It offers the best patient care and a wide range of learning opportunities. 
  4. The UG hostels at CMC are better than JIPMER and AIIMS. The senior-junior interaction is really good in CMC hostels.
  5. By doing an MBBS at CMC, one gets electives in foreign universities and secondary hospital programs (SHP) across India during clinical years.
  6. The internship period at CMC offers more exposure as compared to other premier medical colleges in India.
  7. CMC has a student governing body system.
