What is the duration of MBBS?

MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) programmes typically last five and a half years, though this can change depending on the nation where the programme is being taken.

Anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and biochemistry are just a few of the subjects covered during the first four years of an MBBS programme in the classroom and in the lab. Learners interact with patients during clinical rotations in a clinic or other medical environment during the final two years while being supervised by experienced doctors.

Students gain practical experience in a variety of medical specialities during clinical rotations, including surgery, paediatrics, and internal medicine. Additionally, they get the chance to work with patients in a range of facilities, such as community health centres, clinics, and hospitals.

Students are required to pass a number of exams and assessments during the programme in addition to the classroom and clinical
components of the MBBS course. These could consist of written tests, practical tests, and clinical evaluations.

Students who successfully finish the MBBS course are qualified to sit for the national medical tests. To practise in a particular field of medicine, further education and specialisation may be necessary in some nations.
