MBBS

The MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) is the foundational undergraduate medical degree offered at Coimbatore Medical College. It is a 5.5-year program, which includes 4.5 years of academic study followed by a 1-year compulsory rotating internship in various clinical departments.

Course Focus:

The MBBS curriculum integrates both theoretical and practical knowledge across pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical disciplines. It includes:

  • Pre-clinical subjects like Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry.

  • Para-clinical subjects such as Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine, and Community Medicine.

  • Clinical training in major departments like General Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Ophthalmology, ENT, Dermatology, and Orthopedics.

Students are also trained in medical ethics, communication skills, evidence-based medicine, and early clinical exposure.

Career Opportunities:

After completing MBBS, graduates can:

  • Practice as a General Practitioner (GP)

  • Pursue Postgraduate (MD/MS) or Super-specialty (DM/M.Ch.) courses

  • Work in government or private hospitals, primary health centers, or research institutions

  • Prepare for national/international licensing exams (e.g., NEET PG, USMLE, PLAB)

MBBS is the gateway to becoming a registered medical doctor and forms the core foundation for further specialization and service in the medical field.
