NMC to Introduce AI, Digital Healthcare in Medical Education
He vowed to simplify the procedure to get accreditation to the medical colleges and avoid delay in the counseling for admissions into medical colleges.
Vijayawada:National Medical Commission chairman, Dr Abhijat Chandrakant Sheth, has said artificial intelligence, digital healthcare and state-of-the-art technology would raise the standards of medical education.
The Chairman along with the NTR university of health sciences vice chancellor Dr P Chandrasekhar addressed the media here on Wednesday. Sheth said NMC aimed to bring medical education to ordinary families by adapting to the emerging changes in the teaching system.
He vowed to simplify the procedure to get accreditation to the medical colleges and avoid delay in the counseling for admissions into medical colleges. A plan is to make clinical research mandatory to improve the quality in medical education, and to introduce new PhD speciality and subspecialty courses.
“We are allowing medical education in the Public Private Partnership mode through setting up of such medical colleges by private entities with or without profit motive,” he said, adding that this was unlike the earlier practice of allowing those only having non-profit motive to set up such institutions.
He said the PPP model was successfully being implemented in Gujarat. Earlier, the chairman called on chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and discussed with him issues related to medical education.
