DNB Surgery course soon at Lok Bandhu hospital Lucknow
Lucknow- In a major development in the field of medical education, Lok Bandhu Raj Narayan Samyukta Chikitsalaya, Lucknow, is soon going to start a new Diplomate of National Board (DNB) course in surgery.
For this, the hospital had also received recognition from the National Board of Medical Examination (NBEMS), New Delhi last month, according to Dr Arun Tiwari, nodal officer of DNB at the hospital.
In this regard, Lokbandhu Hospital has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with King George Medical University (KGMU) for rotational posting of DNB students in super-speciality departments. Under this, students will receive this training at KGMU at the end of their first year.
On this, Dr Arun Tiwari said, "We have received permission from NBEMS to start the new course. The hospital has the required infrastructure and is fully equipped with modern facilities for the students, including smart boards, projectors, a library, seminar rooms and a wide stock of subject-related books. We have also applied for subscription to national and international journals to assist students in research and dissertation”, report TH.
Meanwhile, six months ago, the hospital had launched four DNB courses- general medicine (two seats), paediatrics (four seats), orthopaedics (one seat), and obstetrics and gynaecology (two seats). With the addition of the surgery course, the hospital will now offer a total of 12 seats in five DNB subjects.
DNB is a postgraduate and postdoctoral medical qualification offered by NBEMS, an autonomous body under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Recognised as equivalent to MD/MS, DNB is a full-time speciality training programme that qualifies doctors to serve as specialists and faculty across India.
