Be courteous to patients, relatives: Mah Govt tells Resident Doctors


By Vikas Vaidya 


It is the rude behaviour of Resident Doctors’ with the patients and their relatives while in casualty which is the main reason behind the attack on doctors. If this situation continues then the attack on doctors would also continue despite of laws being brought to resist the same. Taking serious cognizance of the same, Maharashtra Government has issued a circular wherein it has asked Deans of Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) of the state to conduct 6-monthly workshops to do the counseling of the Resident Doctors.
Medical Education Minister Girish Mahajan expects the Resident Doctors to be courteous, polite with the patients and their relatives. The Minister also wants that the Deans of the respective GMCs should endeavor to make their college the ‘Zero Conflict Institute’.
These are usual complaints against the Resident Doctors of not talking to the relatives. Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) has tried to sort out those. DMER tried to find out the cause behind the rude behaviour. The reason was the Residents are overloaded. But this can not be the excuse for the Residents’ rude behaviour. The condition in which the patients and their relatives reach hospital they are in need of soft treatment. Since the Residents are not finding comfortable while handling the patients in smooth manner, DMER felt that they need to be trained. The Resident need to behave with sympathy with a relative if he or she loses kin, observes Minister.
DMER has asked Deans to conduct workshops of Residents and for that they are expected to take help of psychiatrists, teachers of Preventive and Social Medicine and some expert doctors.

MCI brought AETCOM


Medical Council of India (MCI) has already prepared module of AETCOM that means Attitude, Ethics and Communication for the future doctors to be included in the medical curriculum from 2018-19.
Dr Vedprakash Mishra, Chairman of Academic Committee of MCI has prepared this module. While talking to The Hitavada Dr Mishra pointed out, “Teaching and learning of medical ethics, behavioral science, communication skills, and managerial skills have not received due attention in the existing medical curriculum. The proposed AETCOM module is a manifestation of this realization that endeavors to strike a balance between the five identified roles of an ‘Indian Medical Graduate (IMG)’ viz; Clinician, Leader and Member of health care team, Communicator, Life- long learner and Professional; right from the 1st professional year of training.”
MCI has adopted AETCOM Module as an integral part of the competency based integrated curriculum for undergraduate medical education.
In order to orient the full time teaching faculty of the said module and its implementation, under the aegis of National Faculty Development Programme, the 10 Nodal Centres and 10 Regional Centres recognized by the MCI has already started conducting workshops and so far more than 17,000 teachers of various medical colleges have been oriented for the same.

Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake.
