MBBS 2nd proff.
Joining medicine MBBS in Pakistan might seem as a healthy opportunity to gain independence and freedom to strive but It's not really a bed of roses as one considers It to be. It's in reality a bed of thorns with a large range of hardwork to be done.
Thanks to all efforts of Young Dr's Association of Pakistan situation of young dr's in Pakistan is improving but It's still not under control. Doing MBBS is five years of hectic work, more hectic than one considers it to be. After gaining excellence in F.Sc and then passing Entrance Test, one enters in field of medicine thinking It'd be more easier than the tests they've gone through before but It's not reality. Medicine is ten times harder. Special thanks to University of Health Sciences.
1. Mbbs exams have passing marks of 50%
2. There is no choice of questions
3. There is no clear cut course boundary
4. Extensive targetting of students because of personal likes and dislikes on viva.
5. A full systematic change from Rata (matric, Fsc) to conceptualism which makes many students fail in this new system.
Eventually the concept of students that gaining entry into medical college will earn them an MBBS is a totally hollow ideology.
In medical, even though Mbbs seems tough, It's just the basic field. After Mbbs there are wide range of specialities
FCPS : Fellow College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan. This speciality course consists of two tests based upon multiple choice questions and It's completed it 4 years.
FRCS : Fellow Royal College of Surgeons England
MD : Medical Dean, It is awarded to those students who tend to pass United States Medical Entrance Examination, USMLE, which is also a prolonged exam of four years but earns you a degree to do medical practise in United States. It costs more than Rs 0.6 Million to attempt this set of four tests.
AMC : Austrailian Medical Council test, It's cost less as compared to Usmle ranging to 250000 and one can practise in Austrailia
Job Opportunities in Kuwait, UAE : The only major possible opportunity is going to middle east right after mbbs where you get jobs without any tests and get a minimum salary of 300000 rupees per month.
In Pakistan, mbbs is not an easy option to choose unless your parents already have a built medical empire of hospital or private clinics, one needs to be of atleast 32 years of age to get slightly established.
Salary of House Officer is Rs 28000, lasting for one year and that of Medical Officer is Rs 42000 after house job is finished. In Pakistan, salary is really meagre but amount of respect earned is certainly something soothing, so rest is your choice but my personal opinion is "Don't Join Medical unless you've a strong desire of working in this field, It needs passion more than hardwork".
