MCI Regulations on Graduate Medical Education, 2012- Are we ready for paradigm shift?

Medical college equips medical students with the scientific background and technical skills they need for practice. But it is equally important for the new graduates to both understand and commit to high personal and professional values. Globally, there is an increasing concern among society about doctors‘ adequacy of the scientific education, clinical skills, interactions with patients and commitment to improving healthcare and providing leadership. India is no exception with frequent hue and cry expressed about proficiency of our doctors. Obviously a need has been felt since long for overhauling our medical education to make it more relevant to the role of future graduates as ―Good Doctors‖.
