History

Dr. Gazi Mizanur Rahman founded Gazi Medical College in 2011. Instruction began in 2012.

The Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree program is divided into three parts by the first, second, and third professional examinations. If a student fail one of these exams, they may sit it again six months later. Under the 2002 "carry on" system, students could continue taking classes in the next academic session while preparing to retake an exam. This system was strongly favored by medical students, but strongly opposed by their teachers. The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council eliminated "carry on" in 2013, after which students who failed a professional exam were not allowed to continue classes until they had passed it, causing them to lose up to a year in the process.

Campus

The college is located in Sonadanga Thana, Khulna Bangladesh. It has an associated 500-bed hospital, the erstwhile Khulna Surgical and Medical Hospital, which became Gazi Medical College Hospital in 2011.

Organization and administration

The college is affiliated with Rajshahi University under the Faculty of Medicine. The founder chairman of the college is Gazi Mizanur Rahman. The principal is Dr Monoj K Bose. The college is approved by the Indian Medical Council (MCI) and the Nepal Medical Council (NMC).

Academics

The college offers a five-year course of study, approved by the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC), leading to a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from Rajshahi University. After passing the final professional examination, there is a compulsory one-year internship. The internship is a prerequisite for obtaining registration from the BMDC to practice medicine. The academic calendar runs from January through December. In October 2014, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare capped admission and tuition fees at private medical colleges at 1,990,000 Bangladeshi taka (US$25,750 as of 2014) total for their five-year courses applicable for Bangladeshi students.

Admission for Bangladeshis to the MBBS programmes at all medical colleges in Bangladesh (government and private) is conducted centrally by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS). It administers a written multiple choice question exam simultaneously throughout the country. Candidates are admitted based primarily on their score on this test, although grades at Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) level also play a part. Admission for foreign students is based on their SSC and HSC equivalent to O/10 Level and A/12 Level/grades. As of December 2015, the college is allowed to admit 100 students annually.
