MANGALURU: One of the toughest courses is the health sciences; only around 20 per cent of students get into higher education in India, and out of that eight per cent appear for entrance examinations, of which 80,000 have a chance to become doctors, said Dr M K Ramesh, Vice Chancellor, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bengaluru.
He was addressing the graduation ceremony of the colleges under Father Muller Charitable Institutions, here on Friday. “There is one constant in life: only change. Thus, the momentum for the next phase in life is expected a lot from you, either higher academics or being a breadwinner,” he told the fresh graduands.
Datuk Dr Heric Corray, chief operating officer of Sabah Healthcare, Malaysia, who was the guest of honour, stressed on life as a changing set of experiences with the medical realm as a noble profession. “No one has it all the time—character of strength, to which one must focus and be disciplined in life. Patients will put their lives in your hands, so maintain your professionalism as a caregiver. No sharing of personal data, which might risk the privacy of the patients.”
In his presidential remark, Most Rev Peter Paul Saldanha, Bishop, Diocese of Mangalore, and president of FMCI said that the efforts put into education should be put to good use for mankind. Man cannot do it alone; but needs the wisdom and providence of God.
The FMCI instituted the President’s Gold Medal, which was conferred to Dr Niranjan.
