Abstract

This paper examines the present condition of postgraduate medical education in India and suggests remedies to rectify its deficiencies. A significant concern is the insufficient faculty training and research methodologies. The proliferation of private medi cal institutions, fuelled by strong demand and high tuition rates, has resulted in a scarcity of faculty and imbalances in resources. The existing method of selecting candidates for postgraduate studies, which relies exclusively on entrance tests, is being called into doubt. Aptitude exams are recommended for evaluating potential at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Although there is ongoing debate about the extent of faculty research involvement, it is crucial to recognize and emphasize the i mportance of excellence in teaching alongside research. The paper proposes promoting inventive pedagogical approaches. Ultimately, both students and doctors involved in education and research necessitate sufficient resources such as libraries, technology, and specialized teaching areas. Efficient medical education and research also require a specific allocation of time. India can enhance its postgraduate medical education system and cultivate a new cohort of exceptionally skilled medical professionals by tackling these difficulties
