Odisha University of Health Sciences is operational as of now.

According to a notification released by the health and family welfare department on Sunday, the OUHS was founded on March 5, 2023 (Panchayati Raj and Lokaseva Divas), with its main office in Bhubaneswar.

On Sunday, CM Naveen Patnaik gave his approval.

The new university will offer standardised, high-quality medical instruction in allopathic, homoeopathic, and Ayurvedic medicine as well as nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, laboratory technology, and all other paramedical disciplines in the state.

This university will be affiliated with more than 200 medical and paramedical schools in the state. The authorities are developing standard academic calendars and curricula for medical colleges affiliated with various universities that will form part of OUHS.

At least ten government medical colleges are already operating in Odisha, and the OUHS will soon be associated with a number of Ayurvedic, homoeopathic, nursing, and paramedical institutes that are currently part of various general universities.

Four additional government medical colleges will open in the next two to three years at Kalahandi, Jajpur, Kandhamal, and Talcher. There will also be private institutions that offer paramedic and health education. These institutes will be governed by this university.

MLAs from all political parties expressed concern in the state assembly in July of last year over the delay in the university’s commissioning.

In 2014, the affiliating health university’s founding was announced by Damodar Rout, the country’s then-minister of health.

In September 2021, more than a year ago, a measure creating the university was approved. The Odisha University of Health Sciences Act went into effect on August 15 of last year to address the state’s urgent need for high-quality medical education.

Former SCB Medical College and Hospital principal and dean Datteswar Hota is now an official on special duty for the university, managing its activities.

According to sources, the government has been determining the initial infrastructural requirements and labour requirements for the university.

A committee has been established to recommend a different location for the university’s permanent campus in the city, one that is around 25 acres large.

GOA, Panaji: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has approved new MD courses at Goa Medical College, which is good news for the state of Goa’s postgraduate medical students. From the academic year 2023–2024, GMC will offer doctor of medicine (MD) courses in geriatric medicine and immunology, haematology, and blood transfusion. Vishwajit Rane, the state’s minister of health, disclosed this information on Thursday when he revealed that the NMC had approved these new teaching courses. On this, he continued, “In terms of GMC’s academic history, it is a significant accomplishment.” A few medical universities offer the new MD programmes.”

Goa Medical College (GMC), one of the nation’s oldest medical institutions, was founded in 1691. It is a government-run organisation and an organic Goa University institute. The college offers 86 PG medical seats in addition to the 180 MBBS seats that are open for admittance to MBBS students. Advertisement The college is now prepared to commence new MD courses in geriatric medicine and immunology, haematology, and blood transfusion, according to the most recent local news report by the Times of India. A senior doctor from the GMC commented on the situation and noted that, over the previous five years, the college’s activities had significantly increased in both studies and facilities.

The super-speciality building should be completely operational in the next months, and work on the regional cancer centre should be finished by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024, the doctor said.

“With the GMC offering so many super-speciality courses, Goan students no longer will be required to go outside the state for their advanced studies,” he mentioned while also mentioning that the GMC is regarded as one of the nation’s top medical schools. Medical Dialogues reported last year that 10 additional super-speciality seats in six departments, including surgery, urology, plastic surgery, cardiology, cardiac anaesthesia, and nephrology, had been approved by the NMC for the college.

The International Medical Admission Test (IMAT)

is an exam designed to assess the knowledge and skills of international students who wish to study medicine and surgery in English at Italian universities. The test is organised by the Italian Ministry of Education, University, and Research (MIUR) and administered by Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing, a division of the University of Cambridge.

The IMAT is a multiple-choice test that covers a range of topics in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and critical thinking skills. The test is held once a year, usually in September, and is open to students from all over the world who meet the eligibility criteria. The exam is a highly competitive one, with only a limited number of seats available for international students.

Those who pass the IMAT and meet the university admission requirements will be eligible to enroll in the six-year medicine and surgery program offered in English at one of the participating Italian universities. These programs are fully funded by the Italian government, which means that successful candidates will not have to pay tuition fees.

Studying medicine and surgery in Italy is an excellent opportunity for international students to receive a high-quality education, gain valuable clinical experience, and learn a new language and culture. The IMAT is a challenging test, but for those who are well-prepared and have a strong academic background, it can be a stepping stone to a rewarding career in medicine.

Below are the details about  the exam and how the scores are calculated

NMC’s new draft:

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has made it clear in most draft busts of the Bachelor’s degree Medical Education Regulations, 2023, that only relocation from a public medical college to a public institute and from a private medical college to a non-government college will be given permission.

 “No mutual exchange shall be permitted,” In the newly released draught regulations, the NMC, the top governing organisation for medical education, provided clarification.  

Unlike former policies, which did not prohibit pupil movement from public to private institutions and vice versa, this does. In actuality, in the past, individuals were only qualified for migration after passing the initial professional MBBS exam.

 In addition to this, the prior norms of the former Medical Council of India (MCI) had also limited transfer to 5% of the college’s approved enrollment for the year. Formerly, moving from one medical institution in the same region to another was prohibited for any reason.

However, the NMC has recently suggested alterations to the migration regulations and published a draught in this regard. Medical Dialogues had previously revealed that NMC had recently put the draught of these regulations in the public domain and had also solicited feedback in this respect from the general public and stakeholders.

 NMC has addressed a number of concerns relating to UG medical education, including the entrance, counselling, and migration processes associated with UG medical admission.

Regarding the subject of migration, NMC said that “No student designated to a medical institution, notwithstanding anything stated in these Regulations, shall seek migration to any other medical institution after the first academic year of admission.”

The draught has said that, although it is silent on the number of seats for which migration is permitted, “Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college shall be granted as per the guidelines of the UGMEB of the NMC, only in exceptional cases to the most deserving among the applicants for good and sufficient reasons and not on routine grounds. Migration shall be from a government medical college to a government medical college and from a non-government medical college to a non-government medical college only. “No mutual exchange shall be permitted.” 

The earlier regulations are in conflict with this. According to the MCI Rules on Graduate Medical Education, 1997, as amended in 2008, “Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college may be granted on any genuine ground, subject to the availability of a vacancy in the college where migration is sought and fulfilling the other requirements laid down in the Regulations. Migration would be restricted to 5% of the sanctioned intake of the college during the year. “No migration will be permitted on any ground from one medical college to another located within the same city.”

 “Migration of students from one college to another is permissible only if both the colleges are recognised by the Central Government under section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, and further subject to the condition that it shall not result in an increase in the sanctioned intake capacity for the academic year concerned in respect of the receiving medical college,” the prior rules went on to mention.

While the new draught prohibits migration after the first year, the previous regulations, “The applicant candidate shall be eligible to apply for migration only after qualifying in the first professional MBBS examination. Migration during the clinical course of study shall not be allowed on any ground”

GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, 1997 (2008 Amendment)

•  Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college may be granted on any genuine ground subject to the availability of vacancy in the college where migration is sought and fulfilling the other requirements laid down in the Regulations. Migration would be restricted to 5% of the sanctioned intake of the college during the year. 
• No migration will be permitted on any ground from one medical college to another located within the same city.
•  Migration of students from one College to another is permissible only if both the colleges are recognised by the Central Government under section 11(2) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and further subject to the condition that it shall not result in an increase in the sanctioned intake capacity for the academic year concerned in respect of the receiving medical college.
• The applicant candidate shall be eligible to apply for migration only after qualifying in the first professional MBBS examination. Migration during the clinical course of study shall not be allowed on any ground. 

 Draft Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023

•  Migration of students from one medical college to another medical college shall be granted as per the guidelines of UGMEB of NMC, only in exceptional cases to the most deserving among the applicants for good and sufficient reasons and not on routine grounds.
•  Migration shall be from a government medical college to a government medical college and from a non-government medical college to a non-government medical college only. No mutual exchange shall be permitted

No student designated to a medical institution, notwithstanding anything stated in these Regulations, shall seek migration to any other medical institution after the first academic year of admission.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering will host the interdisciplinary MTech programme in unmanned aerial systems engineering, which will demand learners to earn 150 credits over 2 years of curriculum and a thesis.

Unmanned aerial systems engineering and cognitive systems engineering are two new MTech programmes that were just introduced by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. Through the official IIT Kanpur website, iitk.ac.in, interested candidates can submit an application for these programmes (starting next year).

Applicants must keep in mind that admission to these two programmes will be based on their GATE score.

IIT Kanpur became the very first university in India to provide a specialised MTech study in aerial drones with the introduction of Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering. Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering will give learners the abilities and information they need to succeed as pioneers in the drone industry, which has many uses in industries like agriculture, commerce, and defence. With a targeted interdisciplinary partnership across multiple institutions of higher learning, training facilities, and skill training bodies, this programme is in line with MeitY’s national initiative on training and education for drone technology.

The Department of Aerospace Engineering will host the interdisciplinary MTech programme in Unmanned Aerial Systems Engineering, which will demand learners to earn 150 credits over 2 years of curriculum and a thesis.

Additionally, the programme on Cognitive Systems is also being launched as the first of its kind in the country. This initiative “will help students acquire a deeper understanding of the human mind and brain and apply cognitive principles in domains such as human-computer interaction, education, and neuroscience.” “This initiative is designed to bridge the gap between basic research and applications, and we are confident that our students will be well-prepared to meet the challenges of the industry and society,” Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director of IIT Kanpur, stated.

The newly established Department of Cognitive Science will host it. IIT Kanpur was the very first IIT to construct a full-fledged Cognitive Science department.

Candidates should be aware, however, that these newly approved initiatives will be effective beginning with the next academic year.

The field of medicine is highly competitive, and not everyone who aspires to become a doctor is able to get into a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program. Scoring high enough in the entrance exams and meeting other requirements, such as interviews and extracurricular activities, is essential to securing a seat in an MBBS program. However, if you do not score high enough to get into MBBS, it doesn’t mean that your dream of working in healthcare is over. There are other career paths in healthcare that you can pursue.

If you do not score high enough to get into an MBBS programme, there are several alternative options to consider:

1. Pursue a related healthcare degree: There are several healthcare degrees that you can consider, such as Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), or Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS).
2. Consider other medical-related courses: You can also consider courses such as Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSc Nursing), Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT), or Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology (BSc MIT), among others.
3. Explore alternative career paths: If you are not interested in pursuing a healthcare degree, you can explore alternative career paths such as healthcare management, healthcare informatics, medical writing, or medical research.
4. Consider taking a gap year: If you are not sure about your options, you can take a gap year to explore your interests, gain work experience, or pursue additional studies that could improve your chances of getting into an MBBS program in the future.

Ultimately, it is important to remember that there are several pathways to a fulfilling career in healthcare and that scoring low on an exam should not discourage you from pursuing your dreams, as there are many other options available for those interested in healthcare, and each has its own unique set of skills and knowledge requirements. It’s a good idea to research different options and speak with professionals in the field to determine which path is right for you.

 If you need professional help with this, you can connect with our team. We can tell you about various options in the medical field and relevant colleges where the patient load is good. Where the quality of education is good, what is good for you to choose, and what is your interest if you are not eligible for MBBS. Our team is always there for you to help you succeed.
