CT: Objective: To assess the medical educational attitudes, and revised education environment in Bangladeshi medical schools. Statistics: Bangladesh has presently twenty-two (22) state-owned medical college and fifty-four (54) private medical colleges. Total 8700 students are admitted each academic year in theses colleges. In government colleges, intake is around 2900 students and in private, around 5800. Survey: Medical education should be always moving like a river otherwise it will not progress to cope with upcoming health challenges. State-owned college’s tuition fees are very meagre amount but in private charges are exorbitant. Both categories are under Public Universities.

Oral exam should be only for those students’ borderline fail and distinction. Thus to make better prescribers for the country, we must adopt such measures.
