MEDICAL PROFESSION: STUDENT ADMISSIONS IN MEDICAL COLLEGES. “A GREAT HYPE”

Abstract

Medical field is an attractive profession and most of the student dream from their primary school to opt that in future as a career. There may be different motives for that, like service to humanity, attractive life style, safe and protective future career and so on. Every year large number of students apply for admission in medical colleges and less than 5% succeed in that. A large number of leftover students can’t get admission in private/public sector medical colleges here due to low merit, try to go abroad to other countries like Russia, China and Afghanistan and get their medical degrees.
With time medical students’ preferences and empathy changes towards many points, even some of them leave the field and join some other profession like police/District administration, politics or business etc. majority of them are reluctant to serve in rural areas. Quite large number of them succeed to obtain residency in foreign developed countries. Proper policies on national and international levels should be made to guide medical students and motivate them to achieve that agenda.
