ABOUT THE BOOK

‘A Roadmap for MBBS Students and Aspiring Medicos―with Insights for Parents’ is an effort by the author to provide a guiding framework to all medical students, aspiring medicos, and their parents.
The author, Dr. Col Vishal Marwaha, has vast experience as a doctor, teacher, and Principal of a medical college. After closely examining the various challenges faced by a medical student in a medical college, he has condensed this valuable know-how into a roadmap that will undoubtedly help any student who wishes to embark on this journey. He shares practical insights that he has gained from extensive interactions with students, parents, and faculty.
This is not only a handbook for the students but also an immensely valuable guide for parents and guardians as they go through the process of choosing the most suitable medical college for their children.
The students start facing new challenges from the very first year, which emanate from the transition of students from a school to a medical college. They have to face rigorous training and periodic university exams, failure in which can be very demoralizing. This book provides a strategy for all students to guide them through each year of their college life.

Some of the topics discussed are:

The need for regular attendance and how to maintain a study-life balance.
Issues related to the hostel, mental health challenges, peer pressure, and substance abuse.
The importance of proper clinical training, medical research, outreach activities, and extra-curricular activities.
The course work and journey from first year to final year and internship.
Guidance about NEET/NEXT postgraduate entrance exams―when to begin preparations and how to go about it.
Role of mentors in the life of a medical student and the need for students to take interest in receiving mentorship.
Career opportunities after MBBS.
