FMGE - A dream to heal (Medical Learner)

A Real Life Story of FMG Student.

As the sun rose over the bustling streets of India, 24-year-old Rohan sat in his small apartment, staring at the stack of books and notes in front of him. He had just returned from Ukraine, where he had spent the last six years studying medicine and earning his MBBS degree.

The journey had been long and arduous, but Rohan had always dreamed of becoming a doctor, and he was determined to make it happen.

Rohan's story began after he completed his 10th and 12th standard in India. He had always been fascinated by the field of medicine, and he knew that he wanted to pursue a career as a doctor.

However, the competition for medical seats in India was fierce, and Rohan's parents couldn't afford to send him to a private medical college. So, they made the difficult decision to send him to Ukraine, where the cost of living and tuition was lower, and the quality of education was still high.

The six years that Rohan spent in Ukraine were a whirlwind of study and hard work. He had to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture, and navigate the challenges of living in a foreign country. But Rohan was determined to succeed, and he threw himself into his studies, determined to make the most of the opportunity.

One of the biggest challenges Rohan faced was living away from his family. He had to cook his own meals, clean his own apartment, and do his own laundry. He remembered the countless nights he spent studying, fueled by cups of tea and selfmade food.

He would often call his parents, just to hear their voices and reassure them that he was doing well. But despite the distance, Rohan's parents were always supportive, sending him care packages and encouraging him to stay focused.

Rohan also had to be mindful of his expenses, as he didn't have a work permit in Ukraine. He had to rely on his parents' earnings to support himself, and he made sure to budget carefully, so that he could make the most of the money they sent him.

Despite the challenges, Rohan persevered. He would wake up every morning at 5 am, and start his day with a quiet moment of meditation and reflection. He would then spend hours studying, pouring over his notes and textbooks, and practicing his clinical skills. He would take breaks to exercise, and to explore the city, but he always made sure to stay focused on his goal.

As the years passed, Rohan grew into a confident and capable young doctor. He made friends with his classmates, and they would often study together, sharing notes and supporting each other through the tough times.

Rohan also learned to appreciate the little things in life, like a warm cup of coffee on a cold morning, or a beautiful sunset over the Ukrainian park. But despite the beauty of his surroundings, Rohan's heart remained in India. He would often think of his family, and wonder what they were doing at that moment. He would think of his friends, and the memories they had shared. And he would think of his dreams, and the future that lay ahead.

Finally, after six long years, Rohan graduated with his MBBS degree. He was proud of himself and his accomplishments, but he knew that his journey was far from over.

To practice medicine in India, Rohan would have to pass the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), a licensing exam that was notoriously difficult to pass. Rohan was not alone in his quest. Every year, over 40,000 students from abroad, like him, would sit for the FMGE, but only a small percentage would pass. The pass percentage was usually around 15%, sometimes it would be 23% or 24%, but it was never high. Many students would have to repeat the exam after six months, leaving their fate to hard work and fortune.

Rohan had heard stories of students who had cleared the exam after three or four attempts. He had also heard of students who had given up, unable to cope with the pressure and the disappointment. But Rohan was determined to pass the exam in his first attempt. He had always been a hard worker, and he was confident in his abilities. As he sat in his apartment, surrounded by his books and notes, Rohan felt a sense of trepidation. He knew that the road ahead would be tough, but he was ready for the challenge. He took a deep breath, and began to study, his eyes fixed on the goal of becoming a licensed doctor in India.

Rohan would have to pass the FMGE to prove his worth.
