Introduction
Every summer, Yashoda Hospitals provides all young and aspiring doctors with the opportunity to work alongside some of the best doctors in town and experience what it is really like to be in this profession.
More than 4000 students who enrolled in the Young Doctors’ Camp are currently pursuing medicine in India and abroad, with a few of them practising medicine in Yashoda Hospitals itself. It feels elated and rewarded to see our noble contribution to a student’s career growth and development journey, and we are honoured to be a part of their success.
The camp so far has received overwhelming responses from students who were selected based on their strong interest in gaining knowledge about medical professions.
Recently, we concluded the 13th anniversary of YDC at Yashoda Hospitals, which witnessed the participation of around 250 students (young aspiring doctors) from various schools. However, due to the overwhelming response from students not only in our state but throughout the country, we were unable to accommodate all applications. As a result, Yashoda Hospital has decided to launch the YDC and reach out to you all across borders.
About Young Doctor's Camp
Yashoda Hospitals is proud to present the Young Doctors Camp 2025—a one-of-a-kind initiative in India that no other hospital has ever conducted in this format. For the past 14 years, we have been leading this pioneering program, inspiring thousands of young minds to explore the world of medicine.
This year’s camp offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience, with hours of guided learning from expert doctors and healthcare professionals. Students will gain firsthand insights into various hospital departments and daily operations. The highlight? Live interactive Q&A sessions with renowned specialists, where they can ask medical questions and discover what it truly takes to be a doctor.
Objective of the Program
The objective of the YDC is to enable bright young students to interact with our renowned doctors and help them gain a better understanding of the benefits, challenges, and excitement of being a doctor, allowing them to make the best career choice for themselves.
Students in grades 7th to 9th often stand at a critical juncture, torn between their own aspirations and external pressures—whether to pursue science or math, arts or commerce, and whether to follow passion or financial stability. These decisions are further complicated by parental expectations, peer influence, and societal norms, which often overshadow a student’s natural aptitude and interests.
Though parental pressure, peer pressure, and social commitments are frequently deciding factors in carving out the future, the student’s aspirations and aptitude should be considered as well. The ideal situation is to guide them so that they can live successful life while honoring their inherent abilities and interests.
Doctor as a profession
Medicine is a prestigious profession. However, it is not just a job in the traditional sense. It is a calling, a commitment to serve society and care for the vulnerable. With a severe shortage of doctors in India, those with an aptitude for biology and chemistry, as well as a tenacity for long years of study and a heart for care and cure, should consider a career in medicine. The sudden surge in medical tourism has made medicine an even more rewarding and demanding profession, with seemingly limitless possibilities.
