NEW DELHI: Medical education in India is all set for a massive overhaul. Medical Council of India (MCI) is close to finalising a brand new curriculum for both undergraduate (UG) and post-graduate (PG) medical education that gives utmost importance to "clinical acumen rather than just theoretical knowledge".
As many as 74 special teams -- each comprising three experts (for example, one for internal medicine, neurology and cancer etc;) are putting finishing touches to vision documents on "how many doctors are presently needed in a particular stream, how many is now available, how to bridge this gap, what kind of content needs to be taught to students and what additional infrastructure is needed". The findings will be incorporated to frame the new medical education curriculum
