3D Anatomage table is a revolutionary tool for teaching anatomy. It is present in less than 100 medical colleges in the world. It's the WORLD's FIRST 3D DISSECTION TABLE. The Anatomage Table is the only fully segmented close-to-human 3D anatomy system.

Everything from symptoms and reactions to information on critical diseases is up to date. The simulation lab also has stored data on all human body parts, their functions, and all types of diseases collected worldwide. So students can select the preferred file and learn it at any time.

What is the degree offered at UV Gullas College of Medicine?

After completion, you will be offered an M.D. Degree from UV Gullas College of Medicine.

What is the duration of this course?

At UV Gullas College of Medicine, the duration of the (MBBS) MD course is 5.8 years.

Why is it an MD instead of an MBBS degree?

  • The Philippines follows a US-based education system, so it offers an MD (USA pattern – Doctor of Medicine) equivalent to India's MBBS qualification (U.K. pattern – Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery). As students from across the globe study in the Philippines, the educational syllabus has adopted the continuity of the +2 curriculum followed in India.
  • In the U.S. education system, the students opt for 4.6 years of M.D. program once they pass 10th grade and complete a Bachelor of Science degree. Still, as India follows a U.K.-based educational system, our students do 10th and 12th grades at the school level. So, they must do a Bachelor of Science and opt for a 4.6 years M.D. program in the Philippines. That's why the MD program in the Philippines takes 5.8 years to complete.

What are the requirements for admission into the M.D. (MBBS) program at UV Gullas College of Medicine?

Medical colleges or schools in the Philippines have set significantly less demanding eligibility criteria for enabling students to receive a quality education at affordable rates. The requirements include:

  • Passing the Senior Secondary Qualifying Examination in science or equivalent under a recognized school board.
  • Qualifying for the Higher Secondary Examination or 10+2 with an aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Biology is mandatory).
  • Qualifying for the NEET exam for UG.
  • Completing 17 years of age by December in the year of admission.

Will I be able to practice in India with this Degree?

Yes, once you appear for NMC NExT / FMGE examination after graduating from the UV Gullas College of Medicine. After passing this exam, you can register in NMC and start practicing in government and private hospitals in India.

Is the M.D. degree offered by UV Gullas College of Medicine recognized?

Yes. UV Gullas Medical College is accredited by both national & international accrediting boards, including WHO, NMC, ECFMG, FAIMER, USMLE, CHED, MCC, GMC, etc.
