Courses

The Department runs postgraduation course leading to the award of MD degree in Emergency Medicine. Selection is done through Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test(INI-CET). The sessions start biannually in January and July. There were 46 post-graduate residents in the department during the year 2021-22, including one foreign national/ sponsored candidate.

During three-years of training, residents are exposed to diverse emergencies, both pediatric and adult. They are rotated through other departments/centres to get further exposure in managing emergencies. The rotational postings include Trauma Centre, and other clinical departments. They are also trained in various emergency procedures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, central line insertions, fracture management, sonography as diagnostic and therapeutic modality, and others. The department runs a schedule of academic activities for the residents of Emergency Medicine (seminars, journal clubs, case discussions, panel discussions) twice a week for around nine hours. Education and skill are imparted to residents on the use of ultrasound in emergency care of patients. Simulation-based teaching (both table-top and on high-fidelity simulator) is imparted to the residents. Live workshops, cadaver-based training and hands-on skill session have provided confidence to residents in managing the patients.
