Bhopal- In a bid to motivate MBBS students to take up research work on health-related issues affecting various sections of society, Gandhi Medical College (GMC) has recently introduced the Problem Solving for Better Health (PSBH) methodology.

PSBH is organised by the Department of Community Medicine. The initiative involves students not only in conducting research but also in spreading awareness through campaigns. Under the programme, students presented 19 research papers on various topics related to public health.

On this, speaking to the FreePressJournal, State president of Junior Doctors Association (JUDA), Dr Kuldeep Gupta, said, “The programme's main aim is to motivate and promote MBBS students for research work. Students presented research work on 19 different subjects. Clinical research involves the study of patients to develop new treatments, diagnostic tools, and improve existing care. Similarly, basic science research focuses on understanding disease at the molecular or cellular level. Institutional research addresses local health issues within the college itself.”

Resources include institutional research cells, government funding such as the ICMR-STS programme, and partnerships with research organisations. Challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and limited funding still exist, but can be addressed through structured institutional support and strategic collaborations.

A few months ago, Medical Dialogues reported that the National Medical Commission (NMC) had issued a notice to the GMC Bhopal regarding the faculty of the medical college's failure to mark their attendance. 

Faculty members in altogether 20 departments of the medical college are reportedly not marking their attendance, and the Apex Medical Commission has taken cognisance of the issue. Apart from the faculty attendance, NMC has also found that tests are not being conducted properly in the microbiology department, and a smaller number of tests are being done in the pathology department than the capacity.
