I think both medical science has its own importance. The modern medicine deals with latest innovations in medical world with scientific solutions whereas the Ayurvedic Medicine deals mostly with the traditional and natural resources into medical science. Merging both the science can impact positively on the modern health issues. Blending modern scientific results and traditional health practices like Yoga can contribute to holistic healing.

Well I donât see this as the right thing to combine both together. Ayurveda itself can stand alone without allopathy..

The two courses are different entities in terms of treatment, but learning these together can help the patient receive holistic care based on their condition. However, it requires extensive knowledge, and teaching both courses within the same timespan may be challenging for both the student and the teacher.

Both are different branches of science and both are potent in their own way, merging them is not a good idea.

The situation will turn out just fine. But MBBS students may have the short end of the stick as they donât offer variety and just offer allopathic treatment and they charge exorbitant prices which irk the lower strata of society from reaching out to allopathic treatment

Its application is the main issue which will decide its future and the acceptance among the students. If proper protocol is followed and implication is done through the protocol, it might be helpful and acceptable.

One has to understand itâs important as separate entities and itâs ultimate goal to provide best patient care.
Both MBBS and BAMS has their own curriculum, understanding, depth and knowledge. Respecting both separately will give space for their professional growth spaces, combining both will create confusions, lack of clearity in future practices⌠Which ultimately leads to improper patients care.

BAMS has always been looked down upon by MBBS aspirants as well as some people in the country. It would not surprise me seeing MBBS students going against BAMS merger.
Although, the merger might prove to be beneficial in India and maybe some other countries, but I canât say something about other countries. Iâd like to know what it turns out into.

Merging the MBBS with BAMS will require considerable effort, as they are two distinct curricula. These doctors manage patients with different aspects. There is a difference in knowledge and depth of understanding among these doctors. Modern medicine has been integrated with Ayurveda for a long time. While merging, acceptance among the students is the main issue

HmmmâŚMerging two opposite poles! I donât think itâs a good thing. Both Students while studying between the contradicting topics and patients while choosing between diverse options that their physician gives, will be so confused. This also may lead to bloom of many ayurvedic drugs that has no research base, as both no. of physician and patients will be grown. And it take lot of mind and man power to form new sets of regulations. So, its better to leave them as they are!

Definately the govt is trying to fill up the pending positions, but even after human individuals reporting to the duty, if there is no proper superior, specialist or expert every one ends up writing the same medications, and patients ends up coming in OPD everyday and the question of infrastructure keeps persisting.

Integrating MBBS with BAMS is like mixing West and East. I am not sure what the POA is, but I know that treatment modalities differ significantly between the two sciences.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has strongly opposed the proposed decision of an integrated MBBS-BAMS course and rightly so.
Doctors are calling it âincoherentâ and worry it will create âa generation of medical graduates proficient in neither systemâ
Medical professionals say that this forced merging is scientifically flawed and could produce untrained medical professionals, because how can you believe in two things at once?
Current NEET students are definitely feeling confused about their career paths. The medical community is pushing back hard against this idea
Honestly, this merger probably wonât happen anytime soon. The medical community is too strongly against it, and there are too many practical problems to solve. The government might back down or delay it indefinitely due to the massive opposition.

Govt will ultimately back down, let us hope. Khichri Medicine is not the way to go.

Though for learners it might be hard to cover but it will get us back to our roots merging innovation and I think that will be the game changer for medicine and surgical practices in India.

Itâs better to keep MBBS and BAMS separate both have their own strengths, and mixing them might dilute the quality and purpose of each and also confusion for people choosing between traditional and modern medicine.
