Skills lab, 300-bed hospital must for new colleges: NMC
Rohit Shishodia
The National Medical Commission has mandated a skills laboratory, a fully functional 300 bed multi-speciality hospital for at least 2 years, Department of Emergency Medicine and Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for new medical colleges to be setup in future and for those that are proposed to increase MBBS intake from the academic year 2021-22.
These changes have been notified in NMC’s first major regulation named as “Minimum Requirements For Annual MBBS Admissions Regulations (2020)” which has replaced the “Minimum Standard Requirements for Medical Colleges, 1999 (for 50/100/150/200/250 Annual Admissions)” of the erstwhile Medical Council of India.
Union Health Ministry has stated that the new regulation shall be applicable to all new medical colleges proposing to be established, and to the established medical colleges proposing to increase their annual MBBS intake from the academic year 2021-22.
During the transitory period, the established medical colleges will be governed by the relevant regulations existing prior to the current notification.
The key changes in the new regulation include deletion of the quantum of land required for setting up a medical college and its affiliated teaching hospitals (all buildings are expected to conform to existing building bye-laws).
The notification defines the minimum requirements of space for all student centric areas in the institution and the functional areas required.
The standards outline the sharing of all available teaching spaces by all departments (compared to the inflexibility in the regulations so far) thereby mandating all teaching spaces to be enabled for e-learning and also digitally linked to one another (it was only desirable earlier).
Under the new uegulation, a well-equipped “Skills Laboratory” for training students is essential now. It also defines a medical education unit for training medical teachers in educational pedagogy.
The space required for library and the number of books and journals have been rationalized and reduced. Student counselling services has been mandated recognizing the increasing stress observed amongst medical students and residents in recent times.
The regulation now mandates the availability of a fully functional 300 bed multi-speciality hospital for at least 2 years at the time of application for establishing a new medical college (the earlier regulations did not specify the period of functionality).
The beds required in the various departments of the teaching hospital have been rationalized to align with the annual student intake, teaching time to be spent in the clinical specialties and the minimum clinical material required for undergraduate medical training which has resulted in about 10% reduction in teaching bed needs compared to the earlier regulations.
The human resource of teaching faculty has also been rationalized in the new regulation. Over and above the minimum prescribed faculty, provision for “visiting faculty” has been made to enhance quality of training.
Two new teaching departments have now become mandatory in all medical college hospitals for the training of undergraduate medical students.
These include the Department of Emergency Medicine (which has replaced the earlier Casualty Department) and will ensure access and prompt, appropriate response to emergencies particularly trauma; and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation which shall fill a large gap for those in need of comprehensive rehabilitative care.
