NBE nod to Ranchi Sadar Hospital for four DNB seats in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Ranchi: Bringing good news to the postgraduate medical aspirants in Jharkhand, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS, NBE) has given its permission to Ranchi Sadar Hospital for running Diplomate of National Board (DNB) course in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
After completing the inspection, NBEMS has given its permission for altogether four seats. Among these, two seats will remain reserved for post-MBBS students and the other two seats will be reserved for students of post-diploma level.
Already the management of the hospital has received the accreditation related to the NBEMS recognition. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) clearly states that the students will be able to get themselves enrolled for this course after clearing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) Examination 2023.
During the NEET PG Counselling process, the PG medical aspirants will get the option to select Sadar Hospital Ranchi for MD, MS as well as DNB (Obs & Gynae) courses. It will be the first hospital in the locality to offer such a DNB course in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
DNB is equivalent to MD/MS/DM/MCh degrees awarded respectively in medical and surgical super specialties. The list of recognized qualifications awarded by the Board in various broad and super specialties as approved by the Government of India are included in the first schedule of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956.
The DNB courses are run by NBEMS and the degrees are also awarded by the natboard. These courses are a three-year postgraduate level programme.
As pert the latest media report by Lagatar 24, in order to get NBE nod for DNB courses, the Ranchi Sadar Hospital had to go through several standards and prescribed procedures. In this regard, the team visited Ranchi and conducted an inspection of several aspects. The Natboard team also reviewed the existing infrastructure and interviewed the applicants. Further, the team also conducted a detailed study of the selected faculty, guide-co-guide's certificate, qualification, experience, research journals and reports regarding the number of patients coming to the department.
The DNB course in Obs-Gyn aims to deal with the scarcity of specialist doctors in the hospitals of the State. After completion of DNB training, senior doctors will get recognised equivalent to a diploma. Further, the shortage of specialist doctors will also get resolved as during the course tenure, the doctors will have to train other doctors by staying in the hospital for three years.
The specialist doctors of the Sadar hospital will organise the classes for the students who will get admitted to the DNB course in the institute.
