The Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (B.U.M.S.) is an undergraduate degree that trains students in the ancient Unani system of medicine, which originated in Greece and was developed further by Persian and Arab physicians. It is a highly respected course that integrates traditional Unani principles with aspects of modern medical science.
The complete duration of the B.U.M.S. course is 5.5 years, which includes 4.5 years of academic study and a 1-year compulsory rotating internship.
The top colleges offering the B.U.M.S. degree are recognized by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), under the Ministry of AYUSH. The selection of a college is crucial, as top institutes offer better clinical exposure and research opportunities.
