New AIIMS PG

PG Classes in AIIMS BBS from New Session

BHUBANESWAR: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar is all set to launch post-graduate (PG) departments from the forthcoming academic session with the Governing Body (GB) giving its nod to open the courses.
The premier institute has planned to start with PG courses in basic sciences and non-clinical departments of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Forensic Medicine and Toxicology and Preventive and Social Medicine before progressing to specialty disciplines.

The GB, in fact, had not met for nearly three years which had a crippling effect on AIIMS, Bhubaneswar. The first meeting held under Nadda at New Delhi on Monday, however, resolved to make up for the lost time by enhancing focus on development of AIIMS, Bhubaneswar along with other such institutes coming up in the country.“The GB has allowed appointment of the faculty members on a priority basis. This is indeed a shot in the arm for us as faculty shortage had been the major bottleneck in proper academic and medical services development in the institute. Around 90 candidates have already been finalised for different posts and will be issued appointment letters very soon,” Director Prof AK Mohapatra said.
While reviewing status of work and clearing a whole lot of pending issues including recommendations of the Finance Committee and Academic Committee, the GB also decided to meet more regularly to accelerate development works. The Health Minister agreed to chair the GB meeting twice a year.
AIIMS, Bhubaneswar presently has 380 beds and aims to achieve its full-fledged shape with 1000-bed hospital as soon as possible. The medical college currently offers 100 seats.
