 According to TOI report ,the college claims that this year's scarcity of resident doctors is a result of the admissions procedure's delays. As a result, the resident doctors who are now on campus are overworked with patients who come from the districts of Jamnagar, Devbhumi Dwarka, and Porbandar.Additionally, the institution has tasked senior resident doctors with keeping an eye on first-year students and making sure that they (first-year students) correctly attend to patients and thoroughly develop practical skills.
