ABSTRACT:
Objective: To assess the medical educational attitudes, and revised education environment in Bangladeshi medical schools. Statistics: Bangladesh has presently twenty-two (22) state-owned medical college and fifty-four (54) private medical colleges. Total 8700 students are admitted each academic year in theses colleges. In government colleges, intake is around 2900 students and in private, around 5800. Survey: Medical education should be always moving like a river otherwise it will not progress to cope with upcoming health challenges. State-owned college’s tuition fees are very meagre amount but in private charges are exorbitant. Both categories are under Public Universities.
