1 Introduction

The National Board of Examination was established in 1975 with the prime objective of improving the quality of the Medical Education by elevating the level and establishing standards of post graduate examinations in modern medicine on an all India basis. It was to function as a National resource for imparting quality for evaluation of professional competence in Medical Sciences. There are more than 149 recognized Medical Colleges in the country. In addition there are 370 accredited institutions imparting training various Broad and Super specialities for the award of postgraduate qualification in Broad and super specialities. The Board at present conducts postgraduate and postdoctoral examinations in 42 disciplines approved by the Board for the award of Diplomate of National Board. The Medical Council of India has laid down standards for post graduate examinations conducted by various medical colleges and affiliated to concerned universities and other institutions. Yet the levels of proficiency and standards of evaluation vary considerably in these institutions. The setting up of a National Body to conduct post graduate medical examination was intended to provide a common standard and mechanism of evaluation of minimum level of attainment of the objective for which post graduate courses were started in medical institutions.

6. Guidelines for submission of thesis/dissertation by candidates offering by candidates of Diplomate NB.

6.1 Preamble

Research shall form an integral part of the education programme of all candidates registered for Diplomat of NB degrees of the Board. The Basic aim of requiring the candidates to write a thesis/dissertation is to familarise him/her with research methodology. The members of the faculty guiding the thesis/dissertation work for the candidate shall ensure that the subject matter selected for the thesis/dissertation is feasible, economical and original.

6.2 Guidelines

i. The thesis may be normally restricted to the size to 100 pages. To achieve this, following points may be kept in view;

(i) Only contemporary and relevant literature may be reviewed.

(ii) The techniques may not be described in detail unless any modification/innovations of the standard techniques are used and reference may be given.

(iii) Illustrative material may be restricted.

(iv) Since most of the difficulties faced by the residents relate to the work in clinical subject or clinically oriented laboratory subjects the following steps are suggested:

(a) For prospective study, as far as possible, the number of cases should be such that adequate material, judged from the hospital attendance, will be available and the candidate will be able to collect the case material within a period of 6-12 months so that he/she is in a position to complete the work within the stipulated time.

(b) The objectives of the study should be well defined.

(c) As far as possible, only clinical or laboratory data of investigations of patients or such other material easily accessible in the existing facilities should be used for the study.

(d) Technical assistance, wherever necessary, may be provided by the department concerned. The resident of one speciality taking up some problem related to some other speciality should have some basic knowledge about the subject and he/she should be able to perform the investigations independently, wherever some specialised laboratory investigations are required a co-guide may be co-opted from the concerned investigative department, the quantum of laboratory work to be carried out by the candidate should be decided by the guide and co-guide by mutual consultation.

(e) The Clinical residents may not ordinarily be expected to undertake experimental work or clinical work involving new techniques, not hitherto perfected or the use of chemicals or radio isotopes not readily available. They should however, be free to enlarge the scope of their studies or undertake experimental work on their own initiative but all such studies should be feasible within the existing facilities.

(f) The residents should be able to use freely the surgical pathology/autopsy data if it is restricted to diagnosis only, if however, detailed historic data are required the resident will have to study the cases himself with the help of the guide/co-guide. The same will apply in case of clinical data.

(II) Statistical methods used for analysis should be described in detail.

6.3 Rules for Submission of Thesis/ Dissertation by candidates for DNB

Sir,

I am directed to say that medical qualification awarded by the National Board of Examinations are included in the First Schedule to the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956 and are considered at par with Postgraduate Medical qualifications of the Indian universities. However, it has been brought to our notice that employing organizations are not recognizing these degrees at par with MD/MS degrees of other universities. As the National Board of Examinations, an autonomous body directly under the control of the Central Govt., is keeping high standard of medical examinations and it is requested that all concerned may please be instructed to give due importance to NBE qualifications and treat them at par with MD/MS of Indian Universities for all posts, including teaching post.

The Medical Council of India while considering the question of equivalence of MAMC/MNAMS/Dip. N.B. qualification awarded by the National Board of Examinations with M.D./M.S. and D.M./M.Ch. qualifications granted by the university/medical Institutions, has adopted the following recommendation, which was circulated to all the authorities concerned by the Council on 6.12.93 for information and necessary guidance:

It is recommended that for teaching appointments in the broad specialities the holder of Diplomate NBE should have at least 1 year teaching experiece as Tutor/Registrar/Demonstrator or equivalent post in a recognized medical college imparting undergraduate teaching and training for appointment as Lecturer. Regarding the candidates holding Diplomate NBE in super specialities, the training shall be for 2 years in a recognized medical college having r4cognised postgraduate medical degree in the concerned speciality for appointment as Lecturers”

It is requested that the above may please be brought to the notice of all recruiting agencies under control for information and compliance.

Yours faithfully,
