About 20 per cent of students pursuing medical education in India drop out due to either losing interest in it or unable to understand the dynamics of the course due to various reasons and to help students of Katuri Medical College, the management organised a symposium on ‘Medical education’ on Sunday.
The symposium was formally inaugurated by veteran surgeon of Guntur Kasaraneni, who asked the students to protect the morality in the profession and said it was a sacred act of public service. Guntur Government General Hospital Superintendent D. Phanibhushan explained the latest trends, opportunities in medical education and said there was no short-cut to hard work. The students opting for the medicine stream need to get prepared for a long period of education till they completed post-graduation to become expert in any particular super-specialty.
College executive director Y. Rajeswara Rao said such symposium was needed to help students cope with medical education, and understand what were the openings for the students passing out of MBBS. College Dean KSN Rao explained about the importance of medical profession, importance of selecting the right institution, need for practical work and exposure in hospitals etc. The Katuri Medical College with latest equipment like MRI scan and CT Scan could provide good exposure to the students in the attached Hospital at Chinakondrupadu.
Some students took admission for fancy, but later choose not to pursue the profession, which was loss of time and money, said Mr. Rajeswara Rao.
