Doctor of Medicine [MD]

Doctor of Medicine [MD] at AIIMS Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, is a postgraduate medical programme for MBBS graduates who want to specialise in one of the clinical or para-clinical disciplines the institute offers at the MD level. Residents are attached to their chosen department's wards and outpatient clinics, and take on steadily greater clinical responsibility over the course of training while also contributing to teaching, case documentation and departmental research, which is standard for postgraduate training at a teaching hospital of this kind. Because AIIMS Rishikesh is a multi-speciality referral centre, residents typically see a wide and often complex case mix, useful exposure for anyone planning to practise independently or move into academic medicine afterwards. The programme suits MBBS graduates who have decided on a clinical specialisation and want it at an institute with a full range of supporting departments rather than a single-speciality setting. Sanctioned intake for MD seats is set by AIIMS Rishikesh every admission year, and the category-wise seat matrix is issued through the institute's own admission notice for that session, the notice to check rather than a previous year's.
