Ikhtisar

There are five civil medical universities and one medical academy in Myanmar (Burma). All medical schools are recognized by the Myanmar Medical Council and the State Government. They:

• Medical University-1, Yangon
• University of Medicine-2, Yangon
• Defense Health Service Academy, Mingaladon, Yangon
• Medical University, Mandalay
• Medical University, Magway
• Medical University, Taunggyi

All medical universities in Myanmar offer bachelor's degree MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery). This degree is currently at the undergraduate level, while the MD degree in the US is accredited to become a professional doctorate; so two degrees can not be compared. Most Australian medical schools are in the process of moving from level 7 (MBBS) to level 9 (master's degree) MD (Doctor of Medicine) because of the Australian Qualification Framework. MBBS UK is now classified as a master's degree (Level 7), according to UK Quality Code for Higher Education.

University of Medicine-1, Yangon

The University of Medicine-1 , formerly Institute of Medicine-1 , is the oldest of four medical institutions in Myanmar (formerly Burma). Students from four medical universities are selected from the candidates, who graduate with the highest science scores on the Myanmar matriculation test. The University offers M.B.B.S. equivalent to a M.D. University of Medicine-1 has three main campuses: (1) Lanmadaw Township campus, (2) Pyay Road campus, and (3) The Thaton Road campus. UMI trains 600 doctors each year and 73 postgraduate programs.

History

The course in medical science was first introduced in Burma in 1923-24 at Rangoon College, where Rangoon General Hospital. In 1929, classes were moved to the present building at Lanmadaw Township, a foundation founded by Sir Harcourt Butler, on February 2, 1927. The medical college became a constituent college of the University of Rangoon in 1930.

From 1942 to 1945, during World War II, there was a temporary suspension from M.B., B.S. Of course. The modified course is undertaken instead, on the successful completion of which the State License of the State Medical Agency (LSMB) is granted. Although the medical college building remained intact, all laboratory equipment, and all the mounts and specimens collected in the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine Museum were completely destroyed, and valuable books from the College's library were also lost.

After the war, all the constituent universities from Rangoon University were re-established into the Faculty, and the Medical College became the Faculty of Medicine, under the administration of the Dean.

At the time of enactment of the University Education Act in May 1964, the Institute of Medicine was established. In 1973, the administration of the three medical institutes and the Institute of Dentistry was transferred to the Ministry of Health, and was under the direct control of the Department of Medical Education, now known as the Department of Health.

The post-graduate program was instituted at the three Institutes of Medicine in 1964, the Dean of the course responsible to the Rector for their organization and administration. With the addition of a new course in 1970, the Board of Postgraduate Medical Studies is under the administration of the Director. With the Institute of the Department of Medical Education in 1973, the Council has been under the direct responsibility of the Director General of the Department of Medical Education, now known as the Ministry of Health.

Reproduced from the Handbook of Institute of Medicine (1) Yangon (1991-1992)

1. The General Medical Council of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) recognizes M.B., B.S. the degree of Rangoon University and Rangoon Medical College in 1937 so that our medical graduates do not have to sit for LRCP & amp; MRCS before working in the UK or before continuing further studies such as MRCP & amp; FRC. Sayagyi U Aye gets M.B., B.S. in 1936 so he had to sit for LRCP & amp; MRCS. Sayagyi Aye U Ko Gyi graduated M.B., B.S. in 1937 so he could learn DOMS directly.
2. The medical course at Rangoon Medical College can begin only in the academic year 1923/24 because of the first strike of Rangoon University students. So our pioneers in medicine like U Ba Than, Colonel Min Sein, Daw Yin May and U Maung Gale must study in Calcutta and get M.B. (Calcutta), not M.B., B.S. (Calcutta). Professor Dr. Khin Maung Win (Pathologist) is a graduate of Bombay University, and therefore his first degree is M.B., B.S. (Bombay). Dr. Maung Maung Taik got M.B., B.S. from Lucknow University.
3. L.S.M.B. Of course it was introduced only for a short time and only three recipients. I remember Professor U Aung Than from Dental College and Professor Daw Phayt of Microbiology as two LSMB recipients. Others may be Colonel Myint Aung, the military surgeon and first professor of surgery at IM2.
4. Students from L.M.P. (Licentiate of Medical Practice) is also taught at Rangoon Medical College. Students who were successfully appointed as sub-assistant surgeons, ranked lower than M.B., B.S. graduates.
5. Short course for M.B., B.S. degree for LMP is also run at Rangoon Medical College. Col Hla Han is one of the successful LMP students to earn a M.B., B.S. degree. Professor U Aung Nyunt from Mandalay is another LMP who passes a thick course. Addendum (2) by Dr. Maung Maung Nyo. The Medical College of Yangon, a prominent medical institution in the Far East before World War II and thereafter. Actually, the Institute of Medicine 1 and therefore Former Medical College is the mother's institute of all other medical institutions in Burma including the Institute of Dentistry. The Faculty of Medicine of Rangoon University (as our medical faculty officially called after independence) opened the Branch of the Faculty of Medicine (BMF) in Mandalay in 1954 which became the Mandalay Institute of Medicine in 1964. The professors of Anatomy and Physiology were also appointed as part-time professors and their respective heads -the subjects at Medical College 2, Mingaladon until college became the Institute of Medicine 2, Yangon in 1964. Dental College was also first opened as a constituent of medical faculty and later became the Institute of Dental Medicine in 1964. The sciences the basis of dentistry was taught by the departments of anatomy and physiology, then biochemistry until recently until 1992. Now, all the first Deans of all Institutes of Medicine and Dentistry in Burma are graduates of our Faculty of Medicine.

Defense Services Health Academy (DSMA)

Defense Services Health Academy (DSMA) (Burma: ????????????????? ), which located in Mingaladon, Yangon, is Myanmar Armed Forces Medical University. One of the most selective universities in the country, the academy offers M.B., B.S. (equivalent to a M.D. degree) degree program. After graduation, most of the DSMA cadets are assigned to the rank of Lieutenant in the Army Medical Corps of Myanmar. Military doctors will serve the rural community health care needs when they are deployed in remote areas of the country where access to health services is poor.

History

The DSMA was founded in 1992 as the Defense Services Medical Agency (DSIM) to develop doctors to serve in Tatmadaw (Burmese Armed Forces). Prior to the establishment of the academy, Tatmadaw had recruited medical and dental officers from a graduate of a civil medical school, who had to undergo a month-long basic military training program at the Medical Corps Center. While the medical corps of Tatmadaw always lacked doctors, in the early 1990s, the shortage became more apparent because the military government, fearing student riots, had shut down most of the civil universities, after the 8888 Revolution in 1988. Most civil universities were closed and for most of the year 1990s. The military run university is basically the only place for those who wish to pursue university education in the country.

DSIM is operated by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Defense. "The goal of DSMA is to produce a good medical officer who is gifted with brilliant physical and mental capabilities to safeguard the Three Major National Causes" backed by the military government.

The first of the 47 cadets of the DSIM was commissioned as lieutenant on December 17, 1999, after six years of study and a year as a home surgeon. Through nine intakes, the DSMA generated a total of 1525 medical officers. In 2008, DSMA has produced seven doctoral degrees in Medical Science. The Academy is only a medical personnel source for DMS. In terms of Master of Medical Science, in early 2008, DSMA has produced 335 specialists, including 48 doctors and 41 surgeons.
