M D (Doctor of Medicine) : Medicine

The main goal of the training program is to produce physicians with the necessary knowledge, skill and
attitude to diagnose and manage in a cost effective manner, a wide range of clinical problems in internal
medicine as seen in the community or in secondary/tertiary care setting. Special emphasis is placed on
the relatively common and treatable disorders. Possession of clinical skills required for making a diagnosis
is given utmost importance.

In-Patient Care:

The usual doctor-patient ratio for in-patient services is 1:4-6 which may vary depending on the strength
of the residents in the unit. Each Junior resident is responsible and accountable for all the patients
admitted under his care.

Doctor on Duty:

Duty days for each Junior Resident are allotted according to the duty roster made by the SR and/or
consultant every month. No change is permissible unless it is by a mutual consent and in such event
senior resident/consultant should be duly informed.

Care of Sick Patients:

Case of sick patients in the ward takes precedence over all other routine work for the doctor on duty.
Patients in critical condition should be meticulously monitored round the clock and records maintained.
Treatment alterations should be done by doctor on duty in consultation with the Senior Resident, and
Consultant, if necessary.
