Calicut Medical College:The pioneer of medical education in Malabar

Positive in the aspect of Academics,Labs,Clinical facilities and exposure,Faculty,Fees and other expenses,a great name as an Alma mater etc Negative in the aspect of hostel facilities but not so bad and the large no of students in each class.

I think the curriculum is perfect to make a doctor practise in our Country as well as in other foreign countries.It almost covers all the specialities currently available in the medical field atleast briefly. The course is 4.5 years (1+1.5+1+1) and 1 year rotating internship. Annual University exams are conducted by KUHS and the final MBBS exam should be passed in order to start the internship.

Infact I think there is no much explanation needed about the job opportunities for a doctor in modern medicine. After the course one can pursue various options like Post Graduation in any of the specialities either from India or from abroad,Enter Government Service (State/Central),Can become a GP,Can work in private clinics or hospitals. Internship is mandatory-25000 per month- 1 year.

New Year, Republic day, Bakrid, Diwali, Onam- It is the most colourful event of the college.There will be a feast,pookalam,many competitions etc. Independence day-Includes flag hoisting,sweet distribution etc. Doctors day, Christmas,

Hostel and Infrastructure and infact not so good when compared to other facilities like academis,labs and clinical exposure.It can be given a rating of 3/5.The problem is large no of students and the lesser no of rooms available.
