Event Details

As the Ukraine-Russian conflict progressed in its initial days, India found itself completely embroiled in the situation.  Thousands of Indian students were stranded in Ukraine amidst the conflict. Upon their return to India, these students stared at an uncertain future.  An unconfirmed number suggests that approximately 25000 students go abroad to study MBBS. This large number indicates the disparity in medical education in India. There are a huge number of students that appear for the medical entrance exam and approximately 5.5% make it to the medical colleges. Through this lecture, we aim to address the crisis in medical education and get policy recommendations that can be beneficial for students.

The discussion will be conducted on 16th April 2022 at 4:00 PM IST on zoom. Register
