BSMS Colleges in India: BSMS is an academic undergraduate degree programme that teaches medical knowledge from Siddha Medicine. The curriculum lasts five and a half years, with four and a half years of research followed by one year of internship. The undergraduate curriculum in the siddha system can also be pursued through distance education. Following completion of a BSMS degree, a graduate is qualified to become a doctor in the Siddha field of medicine. The BSMS full form is Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery.

There are approximately 13 colleges in India that offer Siddha courses, with over 1000 students admitted each year. Government and private colleges are among the colleges.

Siddha Medical Information & Detail Summary

The course focuses on studying the ancient practice’s various tenets and how their medicinal practices can be used to heal people’s medical problems. Medicinal approaches have become more diverse in recent years. With the establishment of the Ministry of AYUSH by the government of India in 2014, a number of career alternatives to allopathic medicine have emerged. Ayurveda and Siddha medicine are important fields of study for those interested in alternative medical sciences.

According to Siddha philosophy, the psychological and physiological processes of the human body are regulated by SEVEN elements: saram (plasma), cheneer (blood), ooun (muscle), kozhuppu (fat), elumbu (bone), moolai (nerve), and inthiriyam (mind) (semen). These seven elements are activated by three Mukkuttram: vatha (air), pitha (fire or heat or energy), and kapha (water) (water). Disease is caused by any of these Mukkuttram that is out of balance, and the Siddha System of Medicine corrects the vitiated Mukkuttram for a healthy life.

BSMS Course Highlights

The 5-year, 6-month BSMS programme is divided into three sections: I Profession, II Profession, and III Profession. The course is completed in 4.5 years, but an additional year of internship is required as part of the degree.
