Why Popular Medical College

Built around the patient, not the textbook.

Four commitments shape everything we do, from the first dissection to the final ward round.

Taught by practising doctors

Clinicians and scientists teach in small groups, so you learn from people who still see patients every day.

An attached teaching hospital

You train in a Popular Group hospital, with real ward, clinic and emergency exposure.

A skill lab before the ward

Simulation rooms and OSCE stations let you practise procedures safely before you meet a patient.

Recognised by the BM&DC

An MBBS recognised by the Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council, with graduates practising at home and abroad.

Programs & departments

Dr. Mahamud Riyad

From the Principal

Popular Medical College was built on a simple idea: good doctors are made on the ward, beside real patients, taught by people who still practise. Whichever path in medicine you choose, you will be challenged and supported here in equal measure. You are very welcome.

Dr. Mahamud Riyad

Vice-Principal, Popular Medical College

I was on the wards in my first week. The textbook only really made sense once I'd seen it on a patient.
ARDr. Anika RahmanClass of 2018, cardiology resident
The simulation lab let me get things wrong a hundred times in private, so I got them right with patients.
SKSadia KarimFinal-year MBBS
The teachers treat you like a junior colleague, not a roll number. That changed how I think about medicine.
