The Big Picture: Medical Education Reforms

In a significant step towards affordable medical education, the National Medical Commission has notified its first major regulation. Titled as “Minimum Requirements For Annual MBBS Admissions Regulations, 2020”, the notification issued replaces the “Minimum Standard Requirements for Medical Colleges, 1999” of the erstwhile Medical Council of India. The new Regulation shall be applicable to all new medical colleges proposing to be established, and to the established medical colleges proposing to increase their annual MBBS intake from the academic year 2021-22. During the transitory period, the established medical colleges will be governed by the relevant regulations existing prior to the current notification. The new standards have been defined keeping the functional requirements of the institution(s). These allow optimization and flexibility in utilizing available resources, and harnessing modern educational technology tools to facilitate moving towards quality education, even when resources are relatively scarce. In this edition of The Big Picture we will analyse the medical education reform.

Dr. Trehan, the childrens of Village don't have iPads, or maybe you're not talking about villages of india.
The the action of the Commission is welcomed, but by what time these regulations will be expected to show results.

The whole talk by experts are very low standard.

No expert opinion from Medical point of view.

All talked like normal arts students and ery generalist

Rstv, please call experts who are experts. No gov praisers.

Anyway disappointed with this debate

[shikhakumari]

Sir please take little care of the network problem....sometimes the voice is inaudible..

[subhikshamahendran]

Why is Frank sir ending the show in a hurry when there's around 3-4 minutes left over? Nowadays, the duration of TBP hovers between 25-26 minutes 🙁

Most medical colleges are running without adequate lecture and professors.
In most medical colleges professors show their face only during inspection and during exam viva. Do we really need more doctors or government should focus on making well trained good doctors?

[ajit]

now several non medicos and "highly qualified UPSC aspirants" will flood the comment section without knowing iota about the reforms..
Hail high for Reforms, dooms day is soon arriving..

[maniagrawal]

Dr. Naresh Tehran is talking about removing the distinction between the life of a poor person and the life of a rich one and apparently, Medanta is one of the behemoth in this hospital industry, seeking humongous sums of money.
Also Mr Tehran, not every child possesses an I Pad! :)
