Joint Accreditation Programme:
1 National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) accredits hospitals/institutions for running DNB/DrNB/FNB/Diploma courses in various Broad & Super Specialty and Fellowship courses. Accreditation Department invites applications for fresh/renewal accreditation twice a year in January/February and July/August.
2 Many hospitals fail to receive NBEMS Accreditation despite having good facilities and the infrastructure to offer PG training because they fall short of meeting a few of the minimum accreditation criteria specified by the NBEMS. To utilize the available resources of hospitals and to provide them with an opportunity to give PG training, a scheme for Joint accreditation of the hospitals has been approved by the NBEMS.
For any query/assistance, the candidate can contact NBEMS through the Communication portal. This portal can be accessed through Quick Link under the “Contact Us” menu on the NBEMS website.
