Curriculum

(1) NEED AND SCOPE :-
Lung diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Tuberculosis, which primarily involves the lungs, is reported in 2-3% of general population. The recent threat of AIDS has further aggravated the T.B. is also responsible for considerable morbidity & mortality.

Besides T.B. there is heavy burden of non-T.B. lung diseases & respiratory emergencies. Diseases such as Br. Asthma, COPD, Respi. Infections, Lung Cancer and others account for about 70% of the Lung diseases seen in any large hospital in INDIA. Asthma alone may affect 5-7% of adults and about 10% of children. Prevalence of occupational and environment hazards has also increases. Respiratory failure secondary to infections, road accidents and other trauma, poisoning and intoxication, asthma and several other conditions may account for a heavy mortality. Tobboco smoking, a widely prevalent habit is the major cause of many lung diseases in INDIA, and may be responsible for 7-13 million patients of COPD and 0.11-0.21 million of COPD deaths.

Moreover Post-graduate degree in M.D. (T.B. & Chest dz. ) is not available at Medical College and S.S.G. Hospital, Baroda. Diploma course (T.D.D.\ D.T.C.D. ) is running since 1966, so most of the facilities are available at our department.

In extreme cases of default the department committee may recommend that defaulting candidate be withheld from appearing examination. If she/he fails to fulfill the requirements in spite of being adequate chances to set himself or herself right.

Internal evaluation of P.G. students performance during three years.

 Ist year of M.D. Students:
Assessment of student with multiple choice questions multiple short notes covering wide range of topics and practical examination with attention to history taking. Clinical skills, relevant diagnostics and therapeutic plan ascertained. Suggested time of evaluation after first six months and at the end of the first year rotation.

 IInd year of M.D. Students;
Students should be evaluated at the end of the II year on the theory and practical examination along with one faculty from General Medicine. For other specialties with short rotation of one month may evaluate the candidate for comprehension of the subject and clinical skills.

 IIIrd year of M.D. Students:
P.G.’s should be evaluated at the beginning of his 3rd year training by panel of senior postgraduate teachers. Suggested pattern of assessment with two type theory papers and multiple choice questions (200)- clinical skills, diagnostic and therapeutics skills evaluated intermittently by unit faculties.
Mock examination suggested – 3 to 4 months prior to final University exam should consist of two question papers each 3 hours duration, and clinical and viva voce similar to university examination under the supervision of seminar faculty.
Results of evaluation should be entered into P.G.’s diary and department file documentation purposes. Main Purpose of periodic examination and accountability is to ensure clinical expertise of students with practical and communication skills and balance broader concept of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
