Question And Answer

After reviewing the presentations of the four panelists and the informal question and answer period that followed, the following conclusions would seem to represent the consensus insofar as the panel is concerned: (1) The practice of pediatrics as a specialty would seem to be here to stay—at least insofar as can be presently judged. (2) The term "new" pediatrics is a misnomer in that many pediatricians have been practicing it for many years. Our present interest, then, lies not so much in a "new" or comprehensive pediatrics—but in better ways to accomplish it. (3) Our undergraduate and postgraduate training must be brought up to date in order to better equip the pediatrician of the future for the comprehensive practice of pediatrics as it exists in his community. (4) This does not necessarily mean more time or more formal training but rather better use of all available facilities, including participation in as well as full awareness and understanding of the emotional and social factors in the lives of the "little people" under their care.

The recent months have witnessed an unprecedented disruption in the processes and methods of training post-graduate students.1 The residents who are currently enrolled in post-graduate programs must be equipped with the necessary know-how to become competent specialists in the future. Therefore, the challenges facing these programs in India need to be identified and the necessary remedial measures must be swiftly put in place. In this article, we attempt to identify the most pertinent challenges facing the post-graduate students in community medicine, from their perspective, and also provide individually tailored recommendations to overcome them.

SummaryRecent concerns about the future of psychiatry have led to various calls for action. We argue that an overhaul of postgraduate training in psychiatry is the necessary first step to ensuring a strong future for the profession. Central to these improvements are reaffirming the ideals of psychiatric training, ensuring appropriate prominence of crucial knowledge and skills in the curriculum and providing tailored training placements with an emphasis on excellence. It is imperative that short-term service-provision need does not adversely have an impact on the training that is needed to ensure excellent patient care for the future. We urge the College to continue to work closely with psychiatric trainees to secure their future.

Background: Education in Anesthesiology is one of the growing fields of medical education in Nepal. The feedback and constructive suggestions from the Anesthesiology residents regarding their training program is essential for the improvement of the training program.Methods: This prospective questionnaire based study was done at five different medical institutions of Nepal where postgraduate training in Anesthesiology is available. Questionnaire consisting of several questions related to anesthesia training were distributed to 45 anesthesiology residents of different institutions and were asked to fill and return to the investigator.Results: Out of 45 questionnaires 38 responded. Only 50% of the respondents said that classes were regular in their institution. Only 23.68% of the residents were satisfied with the exam system. More than two third (76.32%) felt that their undergraduate education in anesthesiology was inadequate. Majority of the residents think that the education in anesthesiology in Nepal is at par or better than education in other subjects and 81.58% think that it is becoming better than before. Half of the residents feel that the facilities provided to them is better considering the national condition. Sixty-six percent of the residents think that the future of anesthesia in Nepal is bright.Conclusion: Majority of the residents think that the anesthesia education in undergraduate level is inadequate and developing anesthesia as a separate subject may attract more students to join anesthesiology. Most of the residents are satisfied with the improvement in education in anesthesia and its future but feel that there are lot more to do.Journal of Society of Anesthesiologists 2014 1(2): 65-69
