About
Emergency Medicine (EM) is relatively a new specialty in medicine and is expanding at a phenomenal pace throughout the globe.
The government and national medical council have recognized the need to develop systems that respond to acute medical and surgical emergencies. India has entered the race in ensuring citizens have access to emergency care in defined emergency departments across the country.
Thus, emergency medicine is a unique independent specialty with training models different from standard traditional didactic teaching, to help students in achieving emergency medicine core knowledge, competencies, and skills to respond to these life-threatening events with confidence. Ramaiah was among the first few medical colleges to introduce this world class emergency teaching and training program to meet the nation’s large demand for these healthcare providers.
The logistics of work, the shift pattern of work, environment in real-time dynamic uncontrolled situations, ensuring availability of teaching faculty 24/7, adhering to quality-controlled teaching and training is some of the biggest challenge we have overcome. With MCI approved MD Post Graduate Program in Emergency Medicine, Ramaiah Medical College is geared up to train 4 Postgraduates per year.
