Kopal Institute of Medical Sciences likely to begin PG Medical courses soon
Bengaluru: The Koppal Institute of Medical Sciences, (KIMS), which is a government medical college in Karnataka, may soon be able to introduce postgraduate courses. The COVID pandemic made it apparent how the medical fraternity in India is under-staffed and overworked. It also highlighted how well-trained medical professionals are the need of the hour.
The medical college has been running since the academic year 2014-15 and has an intake of 150 undergraduate students but it has only recently met the standard requirements of infrastructure.
The Karnataka government had given an undertaking to the Supreme court in order to get clearance from the National Medical Commission, then known as the Medical Council of India. The NMC is the apex body which regulates medical institutions.
Speaking to the Edexlive, the director, Vijayanath Itayagi, informed that an inspection team from NMC has been conducting a thorough department-wise check of the institution so that the post graduate medical education can commence from this year.
