No, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS full form in Medical) cannot be done fully online because of the nature of the program. The MBBS program is highly practical and clinical. An MBBS course includes strict hands-on training, clinical placements, and practical classes.
While we can find some theoretical component, or some other courses in medicine that could be online, a full MBBS degree requires face to face on campus, and non-academic contact with patients, nurses and allied health workers to meet minimum competency set down by medical councils.
