Thoothukudi Medical College Clinical Exposure
MBBS: NEET-UG; applicable state / All India counselling
Clinical exposure & teaching hospital
The teaching hospital publishes monthly activity for January–June 2026. OPD attendance and inpatient admissions are different measures; its separate “IPD Census” series is retained under the source label and is not treated as a count of distinct admissions.
A busy hospital can offer varied case exposure, but counts alone cannot establish how much supervised procedural responsibility each student receives. Ask about rotations, unit size, logbooks, supervision, emergency postings and assessment arrangements during a visit.
