MMM College of Health Science has designed a bridge course for all the undergraduate students for a period of one month at the beginning of the new academic year. The foundational knowledge acquired through bridge courses enables students to grasp new medical terminologies more effectively, leading to enhanced learning outcomes. The course also enables the students to improve their linguistic and vocabulary skills.
Clinical training and internship in all the units of MMM / NGO/outside hospitals are part of the curriculum for all the courses / streams and are evaluated with a written test, viva, and lab diary assessment.
During internship, the students work as full-time assistant to specialists. They are given exposure in specialty areas and have an opportunity to undertake project works and participate in national and international seminars.
