AIIMS To Start MD (Emergency Medicine) From July 2012
01-Apr-2012
Editors Desk

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at New Delhi, announced the commencement of its first postgraduate training program in emergency medicine. Unfortunately, the 3 year MD (Emergency Medicine) at AIIMS will accommodate only one single postgraduate trainee every year.

For a premier institute like AIIMS which represents the public sector healthcare of India, we did not expect that it will train only one postgraduate in emergency medicine for a country of over a billion people!

MCI to obtain Emergency Medicine Curriculum from DNB
03-Mar-2012
Editors Desk

The Medical Council of India (MCI) is obtaining the curriculum for MD (Emergency Medicine) from the Diplomate National Board (DNB). The only minor issue with this move, is that the DNB has absolutely no idea about emergency medicine, considering that the DNB neither has any DNB (EM) seats nor has recognised EM as a specialty under its National Board of Examinations.

The reluctance of the MCI to take inputs from the Society for Emergency Medicine India (SEMI), which coincidentally is the oldest & largest body of experienced EM physicians in India, will only further delay the development of the MD (EM). We hope that the DNB will be more forthcoming in taking SEMI inputs. This, we believe, is likely to happen.
