1Department of Respiratory Medicine, A. J. Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kuntikana, Mangalore, Karnataka, India.
Abstract:
Current postgraduate training in India is as per the norms of National medical council of India. There is a need to improvise the postgraduate training because of rapid changes in the trend of respiratory diseases and advances in medical field. Here we have discussed how best we can improvise the postgraduate training in the field of respiratory medicine in India. Adapting CBME system is ideal. Subject seminars can be restricted to a few selected topics and moderator should conduct a formative assessment after the seminar. Group discussion should the choice for imparting theoretical knowledge which can also help in application of theory to practice. We should focus more on imparting practical knowledge by case discussions, grand rounds, workshops. Postgraduates should be encouraged to actively participate in conference presentations. We need to have a consensus of opinion by an expert committee regarding the improvisations required.
