List of Top 10 Medical Colleges 2012 Across India
Medical Education In India is the most opted professional education, which is also the most expensive and longest in duration. Perhaps, a distinctive feature of medical education is that a very large part of it occurs in practice situations. Previous times, this contribution of skills and attitudes does not exist; it is referred to as Family Medicine (FM). These physicians are the backbone of the primary and secondary levels of health care, the vast submerged part of the medical education. And here, in such an optimal health care system the bulk of the medical professionals will need to be stationed in its primary and secondary levels. Present medical education is the exact opposite of what was described before. The major part of every medical college is the so called teaching hospitals which by definition is dedicated to tertiary care. All the faculty in it are required to be specialists. Here budding doctors never see the challenge and the potential of competent family medicine as its best. Instead, they are brought up to think that FM is like manual labour, what any one can do but no respectable person wants to do. At present, we are in the midst of a long overdue effort to revamp the oversight of medical education in our country. But, whatever the final shape of the regulatory mechanism, it owes it to our ordinary citizens to bring about some basic but quite feasible changes in medical education.
