Advantage and Disadvantage of FCPS and MD and deference Between FCPS and MD in Bangladesh (FCPS vs MD in Bangladesh)

FCPS vs MD in Bangladesh

1. FCPS is the degree offered by BCPS. Most of the previous MS / MD degrees are offered by Dhaka University / Rajshahi University / Chittagong University. However, those universities do not play any role other than typing marksheets and certificates. However, these degrees are currently being run by BSMMU under the Resident Program. But BCPS is managed by specialist doctors / professor counselors.
2. One and a half years after passing MBBS, one is qualified to give FCPS 1st paper examination. Tests are conducted in an internationally recognized manner. Admission test for MS / MD 1st paper is conducted in different institutions under the same rules. However, this admission test is conducted by the concerned institution itself. As a result, many irregularities were reported. Recently, however, BSMMU has introduced a central admission test system.
3. After passing the FCPS 1st paper, the concerned candidate has to qualify for the 2nd paper examination by log book, training, work performance, dissertation (research) etc. as per BCPS guidelines. After doing some classes in MS / MD, 1st paper exam has to be given. If you pass, you have to complete the training and take the 2nd paper exam. If you pass the 2nd paper, you have to go to the thesis stage. The 3rd paper along with the thesis has to be examined.
4. Candidates cannot know the location of FCPS exam, examiner etc. MS / MD examinations are conducted in the respective institutes and all the examinees are known to the candidates.
5. FCPS comes from foreign examiners (India, British, Pakistan, Singapore etc).There is no such system in MS / MD examination.A total of 6 examiners from Viva / Practical / Practical took the FCPS test. There are also 7/8 more examiners in the OSP center. In the meantime, if an examiner is a direct trainer of the candidate concerned, he does not remain. A total of 4 examiners took the exam in MS / MD. One of them is directly his trainer and guide. Others are also known. No foreign examiner ever came. In addition, there are many instances of not being able to pass FCPS and being admitted to MS / MD courses. There is also the issue of exerting influence. But there is no such precedent in FCPS. Many make false accusations. But that is completely false. FCPS (Fellow of the College of Physicians and Surgeons) means sometimes called hypocrisy: Fail Confirm Pass Seldom. That means the side is a very solid object. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. But once you pass the admission test in MS / MD, the pass is almost confirmed. It goes without saying that there is no record of getting hit in the storm.
