Explanation:
As in developed countries, the graduate and post-graduate theory examinations should be implemented and follow a uniform pattern across the country
A student undergoes thermal scanning before appearing for the entrance examination at Palakkad, Kerala. on July 16, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown up unprecedented challenges and one of them in the medical field is reforming the undergraduate and postgraduate medical examination system in the country to suit a new normal. The authors, who are medical professionals closely involved with the process, propose innovations in both theory and practicals that can make examinations possible. COVID-19 has given us an opportunity to fast forward these changes which can work to benefit of the medical education system.
With over 542 medical colleges functioning in India and over 70,000 students entering medical colleges for undergraduate education alone and close to 30,000 doctors passing out every year under the National Medical Commission (NMC), the whole examination system for awarding diplomas and degrees during the COVID-19 pandemic has to be looked into critically and redefined.
As in developed countries, the graduate and post-graduate theory examinations should be implemented and follow a uniform pattern across the country. The authors, who have gone through the theory examination from 1styear MBBS to post-graduade degrees in both India and UK from 1970s to 1980’s have over the decades observed no significant changes in the examination pattern, both for theory and practicals.
While India adopted the British system of examination after independence, UK colleges have overhauled their examination systems many times, taking into account the advances made in medical sciences. The objective of any examination must be clearly defined and capable of measuring the training and competency the candidate has had over the years. To achieve this, revamping of the theoretical and practical components of medical examinations has to be addressed.
