What are some reasons why most medical students fail or dropout of the program?

There are lots of reasons for why most of the medical students drop out from the course but the reason varies depends on an individual. Most of the students drop out due to lack of interest in being a doctor. Parents usually force their children in making their dream to become their son/daughter as a doctor. They never think of children opinion,or what interest they have or dream about their future career. parents think of their career settlement and the status they will get in becoming a doctor. So most of the students join the medical profession to fulfil their parents dream and hence easily gets affected ending in drop outs.

Other reasons are unprepared or overconfident. Both are dangerous. They are not comfortable with the pressures they have to undergo in their studies. inability to handle this lead to dropouts. Overconfidence on their marks they have score during their higher secondary grades make them expected to get the same grades in medical profession too. Failure in getting the grades resulting in drop outs.

Family stress and illness are one of the mainreason for drop out. As they have to handle the sick patients in healthcare may resulting in academic stress and more prone to get illness if they are immunocompromised resulting in drop out. Family stress such as financial issues, lack of coping to adapt a hostel life may also ends in dropouts.
