NMC Guidelines For Competency Based Postgraduate Training Programme For DM Paediatric Neurology
The National Medical Commission (NMC) has released the Guidelines For Competency Based Postgraduate Training Programme For DM In Paediatric Neurology
The goal of postgraduate education for the award of the postdoctoral degree in Pediatric Neurology (DM – Doctor of Medicine) is to bring out competent pediatric neurologists who shall recognize the health needs of the society provide quality health care and carry out professional obligations ethically to fulfill the objectives of national health policy. Pediatric Neurology has evolved as a separate discipline in India over the last 30 years requiring a different set of clinical approach, diagnostic and management skills and research as compared to adult Neurology.
This program shall primarily focus on training pediatricians (MD/equivalent degree) on scientific knowledge and management skills required to practice academic pediatric Neurology. During the training period they shall master the competencies in pediatric Neurology and basic medicine that are required for pediatric Neurology practice from the primary to tertiary level of health care system. In addition they should also acquire basic skills in teaching the medical and paramedical professionals, research skills, organizational competency and social health care capabilities. Thus the major components of the curriculum shall cover theoretical knowledge, practical and clinical skills, attitude skills and training in research methodology and social care.
SUBJECT SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Clinical Skills: The aim of the course is to impart thorough and comprehensive training to the candidate in the various aspects of the specialty to enable him:

Besides in-service activities a pragramme of bedside demonstrations, seminars, tutorials, group discussion, workshops, views and reviews, practice parameters, journal clubs and lectures is also organized.
4.2. TEACHING PROGRAMME
1. Bedside Clinical Teaching/Demonstrative Teaching.
Clinical Case discussions: Clinical discussion is the core of postgraduate programs like DM Pediatric Neurology. On an average there shall be at least one case discussion per week. The discussion should cover all the aspects from basics to the latest advances. Active involvement of the faculty shall be encouraged to maintain a high standard of training.
2. Symposia and faculty lectures: Symposia shall be much more frequent than formal lectures. Maximum involvement of students and faculty shall be ensured Formal lectures by faculty – senior and junior – on various subjects will be an integral part of the schedule. However the number of such lectures shall be minimized to encourage self learning. Instead lecture topics shall be assigned as home work also.
3. A postgraduate student of a postgraduate degree course in broad specialities/super specialities would be required to present one poster presentation, to read one paper at a national/state conference and to present one research paper which should be published/accepted for
publication/sent for publication during the period of his postgraduate studies so as to make him eligible to appear at the postgraduate degree examination.
4. The Log books shall be checked and assessed periodically by the faculty members imparting the training.
5. The postgraduate students shall be required to participate in the teaching and training programme of undergraduate students and interns.
6. Electrophysiology and Imaging rounds: Discussions on EEG, other electro diagnostic modalities and newer trends in Pediatric Neurology shall be done once in a week ( EEG, VEEG, BERA, VEP, NCV and EMG
7. MRI , MRS, MRA and 64 slice CT). This is of great importance in view of the fast advances occurring in the field of Pediatric Neurology. This is in addition to the separate posting to these segments
8. Joint neurlogy conference: An integral component of a pediatric Neurology program is team- work, especially with neuro/epilepsy surgery and physical medicine and speech therapy and behavioral therapy. The residents will be encouraged to conduct a formal joint neurology conference with the allied specialties once a week where the surgical and differently abled cases for the week will be formally discussed to formulate the management plan.
9. Journal clubs: Journal club is an integral part of a postgraduate training programme. This helps the students and faculty to update their knowledge in the latest developments in the field of medicine. It not only imparts new information but also trains the candidates to objectively assess and criticize the various articles and studies which will be useful in ensuring practice of evidence based medicine.
10. Teaching rounds: Teaching rounds shall be strengthened. A detailed teaching round at least once in a week improves the patient care in addition to enhancement of the clinical skills of the students as well as the faculty.
11. Guest lectures: Guest lectures shall be arranged as frequently as possible. Senior faculty from other departments, faculty from other institutions in the state and visiting national and international faculty shall be invited for guest lectures or clinical discussions and demonstrations. The topics shall cover not only medical subjects but also other aspects like communication skills, social problems etc.
12. The department should encourage e-learning activities.
13. Clinical clubs; monthly clinical clubs were interesting fully worked up cases will be presented
An example of teaching format is given below: 8 AM – 9AM (6 days a week)
• Seminar
• Journal club
• Case discussion.
• Interactive session on electrophysiology
• Advanced imaging session (neurosonography, CT, MRI etc)
• Joint Neurology conference with physiatrist, orthopaedician, psychiatrist, psychologist, speech therapist as per the case scenarios
Conferences and continuing medical education programmes
All postgraduate students shall be encouraged to attend and actively participate in conferences and CMEs. They should be trained to present as many papers as possible (at least one paper each in national and regional conferences-- grace marks shall be provided for the same in the internal assessment). During the three year training each candidate should attend at least two national conferences, two regional conferences and 15 hours of CME.
Training in diagnostic modalities
In addition to acquiring skills in basic modalities of neuro investigations like electroencephalogram and radiology, they should be given adequate training in various aspects of electrophysiology (including BERA, NCV, EMG VEP). They should also have adequate exposure to other areas like nuclear Neurology, CT imaging, MRI etc. Intensive care constitutes a very important area of modern pediatric neuro care and the residents will be given sufficient exposure in managing post-operative patients in the ICU.
Social Health
By concentrating on the advanced aspects of clinical medicine, the present generation doctors are moving away from the basic aspect of medical care ie. social health. Hence the young doctors should be encouraged to get involved in social activities like epilepsy awareness programs participation in medical camps, relief works, rural care, disability rehab projects, etc.
During the training programme, patient safety is of paramount importance; therefore, skills are to be learnt initially on the models, later to be performed under supervision followed by
performing independently. For this purpose, provision of skills laboratories in medical colleges is mandatory.
ASSESSMENT
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT during the training includes:
Periodic internal assessment
To improve the standards of the postgraduate training a periodic internal objective assessment is needed.
A few such methods are
a) assessing grading score for the log book every 6 months
b) Theory and practical examination periodically – once a year.
c) Regular two internal assessment both in theory and clinical should be made for every candidate. Internal assessment will be made in day-to-day work of the trainee who involves patients'care, learning bedside case presentation and research.
d) Students will keep a log of all patients on whom they have done a complete history and physical examination, neurodiagnostic procedures and follow up evaluation. This log will include the patient's name, the date of evaluation, the patient's hospital number. This will be evaluated every month. Students are expected to do an average of three new patient evaluations per week.
Formative assessment will be conducted as follows:
Continuous: This will be based on a report by the unit in charge at the end of every semester on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest). The consultant would assess the progress of the candidate in cognitive abilities and psychomotor and communication skills. The candidates will be asked to maintain a log book providing the following details:
(a) Details of presentation in the departmental journal clubs, seminars, case discussion etc., participation and presentations of papers in national conferences.
(b) Publication of review and research articles.
(c) Creation of learning resource material. Formulating algorithms for investigation of various neurological disorders eg encephalitis.
(d) Details of procedures conducted with complications and outcome.
End of semester
Three end semester assessments will be undertaken. Each will consist of
• Theory
• Practical
Presentation of two cases
Objective structured clinical examination Viva voce Average of the three assessments will be done.
Students will be given a feedback after each assessment.
Quarterly assessment during the DM training should be based on:
1. Journal based / recent advances learning
2. Patient based /Laboratory or Skill based learning
3. Self directed learning and teaching
4. Departmental and interdepartmental learning activity
5. External and Outreach Activities / CMEs
The student to be assessed periodically as per categories listed in postgraduate student appraisal form (Annexure I).
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT (FINAL ASSESSMENT)
The summative examination would be carried out as per the Rules given in POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION REGULATIONS, 2000. The theory examination shall be held in advance before the Clinical and Practical examination, so that the answer books can be assessed and evaluated before the commencement of the clinical/Practical and Oral examination.
The Post graduate Examination will be in two parts:
1. Theory Examination
