#iit #mbbs #iitmadras Can you really do MBBS from an IIT? IITs are now expanding into medicine, healthcare, medical research and medtech, raising a bigger question: why are India’s top engineering institutes moving into medical education? In this video, we break down the IITs entering medicine, including the developments around IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur and IIT Kharagpur, and explore what this could mean for MBBS, medical education in India, engineering + medicine, and the future of healthcare technology. We also look at the emerging physician-engineer model, where engineering, artificial intelligence, medical devices, robotics, medical imaging and clinical expertise come together. The video examines the potential benefits as well as challenges around NMC regulations, medical infrastructure, teaching hospitals, curriculum, funding and hospital operations.
