  • Interns get hands-on clinical training across all major departments.

3. Job Opportunities After MBBS (via college or alumni network):

  • Some students get absorbed into the college hospital itself (R.L. Jalappa Hospital) as junior residents.

  • Others pursue jobs in private hospitals, government health services, or rural postings.

  • The college has a decent alumni network which may help with hospital connections or higher education guidance.

4. Postgraduate Students (MD/MS):

  • PG graduates often get placed as:

    • Senior Residents in medical colleges

    • Specialists in private or public hospitals

    • Some even go into academics and teaching after their PG

5. Global Opportunities:

  • Many MBBS graduates from SDUMC pursue:

    • USMLE (USA)
