R.G. Kar Medical College Medicos ’88

Welcome Friends,

There are places and memories that we leave behind, yet they never truly leave us.
For us, that place is RG Kar Medical College and our batch of 1988.

Towards the latter half of 1988, we first walked through its gates as young students coming from diverse backgrounds, speaking different languages and with different aspirations but all sharing hearts full of hope and minds eager to learn.

Before long, the classrooms, wards, hostels, library and especially our good old canteen with endless cups of tea and other substances had woven us into a family.

Those years gave us far more than a medical degree. They gave us friendships that have stood the test of time, mentors who shaped our lives, unforgettable patients who became our first teachers, and memories that still make us smile and cry. We learnt to celebrate together, worry together, laugh through sleepless nights before MBBS and entrance examinations and discover that the journey of becoming a doctor was also the journey of becoming who we are.

Life had since taken each of us along different paths. We had served in hospitals, classrooms, laboratories, clinics, and communities across India and around the world. We witnessed extraordinary advances in medicine, embraced new challenges, celebrated milestones, and weathered life's inevitable joys and sorrows. After a long lacunae of self developments and discoveries many of us again reunited under the banner of Medicos 88 in 2013 and since then continued to remain in touch through the thick and thin of our further discoveries in life.

Medicos 1988 is truly our homecoming.

We again need to move with time. So we hope this website will be another place to rekindle cherished moments and memories, honour our beloved mentors and teachers and preserve the legacy of a batch whose story continues to unfold.

As you explore these pages, many forgotten faces would become familiar once again, old conversations would re-emerge and memories hidden by the passage of time return with warmth and affection.

Because some friendships never fade. Some journeys never end. And some places will always feel like home.
Long live RG Kar Medicos 1988.
Welcome to a different home
