Sri-Lankan Medical University Admissions and the Truth
Medical Higher Education in Sri-Lanka is considered elite but not many Sri-Lankan students are fortunate enough to accomplish their target of entering to a State owned University (Faculty of Medicine) through the G.C.E Local Advanced Level examinations. According to statistics provided by the Ministry of Education, even though a large number of Sri-Lankan students sit for the examinations, only a certain percentage (1200 seats approx.) of students are selected for Medical Faculties around the Island. A driving desire to enter for a State owned university has become merely a dream for a majority of Bio students. Most students believe in taking several attempts only to lose track of time and self-disappoint if not being selected. This has been the case for most Parents and students since their knowledge of seeking for other options of becoming a Medical Doctor is lagged behind.
Did you know the High Demand for Doctors in the Overseas is increasing?
World report shows that the Demand for Medical Doctors in countries such as the UK, USA, Australia and Europe is increasing whereas the supply of doctors is very less. Despite the projections of a modest growth in the supply of physicians by 2025, the demand for physicians is growing at a faster rate than the supply.
The demand for physicians is projected to grow by 17 percent by 2025, due primarily to the growth in population size and the aging population. The population below 18 years is projected to grow by 5%, whereas the elderly population over 65, who typically require more care from physicians, is expected to grow by 41%.
