Introduction
The Department of Medicine has been at the forefront of achieving the “Trinity of Mission” at AIIMS. It provides holistic patient care services, strives for innovation in medical education, and conducts translational and clinical research.
The department has launched quality improvement initiatives to enhance various aspects of patient care services. The Department continues to strengthen the existing services continuously to provide quality care to ever increasing number of patients coming to AIIMS.
The Department is continuously updating and improving the digital platform (https://www.aiimsmedicine.org) used for teaching, training, and assessment. Online assessment of our students is now a regular feature in addition to the traditional assessment system. Emphasis is placed on the practical skill development of undergraduates through workplace-based assessments and feedback. Additionally, mentorship and wellness programs are being prioritized for residents.
The faculties of the department are at the forefront of contributing to national guidelines across a vast spectrum of clinical conditions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Medicine took the lead at the national level to tackle COVID-19 by preparing management guidelines and algorithms that were subsequently adapted as National Guidelines for the management of COVID-19. With the vision of ending the TB strategy by 2025, all faculty and resident doctors have worked hard to draft an extensive training module on extrapulmonary tuberculosis, which was launched by the Honourable Prime Minister of India on March 24, 2023.
