MBBS + BAMS Course: Good or Bad?

The govt of India has just announced that it will start a combined MBBS + BAMS course with first such course to be started at JIPMER, Puducherry.

What is your take on this decision?

My take is:
Myxopathy will lead to more harm to Ayurveda - this is my take on this issue.
What a classical stupidity!! This kind of “Khichri medicine” is not going to do any good to public as well as those who want to resurrect Ayuveda.

The need is to scrutinize and analyze Ayurveda on modern scientific parameters. In essence, we need to update Ayurveda and for that R & D is required.

Honestly, I’m a bit conflicted. On one hand, integrating modern and traditional systems could promote a more holistic approach to healthcare. But on the other, both MBBS and BAMS are already intense on their own—won’t combining them overburden students? Curious to see how this plays out at JIPMER.

The combined MBBS + BAMS course could be beneficial in promoting holistic patient care and research, but concerns about compromising medical education quality and potential opposition from medical associations need consideration.

Its success depends on the curriculum and implementation.

I feel this tie up will only do harm to both the fields because both of them are very different in nature .ayurveda works on vayu , pitta n kaph while allopathy is works in a totally different way. Idk how they will integrate these two essences .
