Dhanmondi
Popular Medical College was built on a simple idea: good doctors are made on the ward, beside real patients, taught by people who still practise. Whichever path in medicine you choose, you will be challenged and supported here in equal measure. You are very welcome.
Dr. Mahamud Riyad
Vice-Principal, Popular Medical College
I was on the wards in my first week. The textbook only really made sense once I'd seen it on a patient.

Dr. Anika Rahman
Class of 2018, cardiology resident
The simulation lab let me get things wrong a hundred times in private, so I got them right with patients.
SK
Sadia Karim
Final-year MBBS
The teachers treat you like a junior colleague, not a roll number. That changed how I think about medicine.
