Vice Chancellor It is a matter of great pride that this premium medical university in the country has completed 25 glorious years. To commemorate the Silver Jubilee year a series of academic programmes were planned. As a medical university responsible for the health of the state and country, health screening camps were organized at the university. For the benefit of Corporation conservancy staff oral cancer screening was conducted on ‘Dentist Day’. On international women’s day, a series of lectures focusing on women”s health was conducted. Outstanding women achievers who have contributed for the welfare of the differently abled were honoured for the first time by the medical university. International bone and joint day was celebrated with an Orthopaedic camp and lectures on prevention of Osteoporosis. Screening for Diabetes, Hypertension and Eye disorders was also conducted at the university. To offer specialised training for our postgraduates, new Post doctoral fellowship programme in Aesthetic Dermatology and Trichology have been started.

Medical simulation is a branch of simulation technology related to education and training in medical fields. The core competencies most conducive to simulation-based training are patient care, interpersonal skills, and systems based practice. Studies have shown that students perform better and have higher retention rates than colleagues under strict traditional methods of medical training. It was found that high technology learning students outperformed traditional students significantly. To enhance the skills of the postgraduates, Simulation Workshop for training the trainers was conducted at the university with Indian and Foreign faculty. Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS). The university has for the first time in the country introduced DOPS which is an ongoing skill assessment for postgraduates throughout their training period.

Regenerative Medicine is the catch word of this decade. To keep up with the newer developments a Postgraduate M. Sc. programme in Regenerative Medicine is being offered by this university.

There has been a long felt need for an auditorium and guest house for the university. The foundation stone for the Silver Jubilee Block and the Silver Jubilee Floor was laid by our Hon’ble Chief minister in November 2011. I am very happy to state that both of them are almost complete and will be inaugurated in the Silver jubilee year.

“Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.” -Winston Churchill

We rededicate ourselves to imparting quality education and exemplary training to Medical, Dental, Ayush and Allied Health students of this university.

The university has stood with courage despite various setbacks to raise the standards of medical education. This has been achieved with the approval of The Medical Council of India and all the other Councils.

CALLING A SPADE A SPADE It is my great pleasure and privilege to write for the biography of Dr M V Natarajan. a great teacher, academic luminary and a leader in the speciality of Orthopaedics, who has given a new direction to the advancement ot Limb Salvage Surgery His path-breaking achievement and contribution is developing the CUSTOM MEGA PROSTHESIS. I have known Dr Natarajan personally only during the last one year though I had known of him in absentia for a long time pariicularly since he took over as Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor of The Tamil Nadu Dr.MGR Medical University at Chennai. I met him first time at 3 sociai function in Chennai. There, right at the outset he went full blast on the Medical Council of India. He pointed out a slew of mistakes and deficiencies in the working of the organization. Though initiaiiy taken aback, it took me a little time to realize that his strong expression was not to undermine or denigrate the Council but to share his anguish and his concern over the falling standards in medical education and dismal state of the healtn care services in the country. He was worried that while the science cf medicine is progressing by leaps and bounds, the methods of delivering medical education in our country are almost static and not in keeping with the great progress being made elsewhere. I was very impressed with his approach of calling a spade a spade mincing no words. In my life. I have always admired such bold, brave and no-nonsense peopie1 There and then I requested him to arrange a meeting of the Vice-Chancellors of Health Universities at the MCI Headquarters in New Delhi where his views and the views of other eminent academicians would be brought on one platform for devising and developing the strategy for improvement in the medical profession from tne point of view of ethics, honesty, integrity and nobility. I am very happy to note that Dr.Natarajan with his inimitable energy and enthusiasm made sure that the said conclave took place at the MCI HQ on 11th March 2012. The conclave was a great success. It was attended by most of the ViceChancellors all over the Country. The deliberations were very useful, purposeful and forward looking. Thanks to Dr. Natarajan’s initiative, leadership and persistence that it happened! Since then I have the honour of my continued association with him. Recently I had the privilege of delivering a Key Note address during the Silver Jubilee Function of The Tamilnaau Dr.MGR Medical University at Chennai on 1st July 2012. There my most interesting observation was that while everyone spoke to his heart’s content at the mike. Dr. Natarajan chose to keep Quiet and did not speak a single word from the podium. Later when 1 mentioned this to him, he said people had gathered there to listen to speakers from outside and not to him, as he keeps on speaking to them on so many occasions! I wish a great future to Dr Natarajan. ! wish him Higher Heights and Greater Glories!.......Amen!

ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENTS

27

NATIONAL SCENARIO The Medical Council of India prescribes the minimum standards of Medical Education in the Country. Nothing had been done to raise the standards for over 10 years to keep it in tune with current trends all over the world. (as it was under a faulty leadership).

CLASSIFICATION All the courses have been grouped under four major heads: i) Medical ii) Dental iii) AYUSH (Indian Medicine & Homoeopathy) iv) AHS (Allied Health Science)

SYLLABUS AND CURRICULUM The issue of raising the standards of Medical Education, reorienting knowledge based curriculum to competence based curriculum was discussed by the Faculties and Board of studies. About 40 Medical teachers and Senior Professors of all Specialities of the Standing Academic board discussed the matter in detail. They formulated training the trainers programme and recommended changes in the evaluation methods to be adopted in the University, to cause paradigm shift in UG & PG Medical Education. This was communicated to all colleges and was implemented from the academic year 2010 – 2011 onwards.

29

(A) CURRICULUM AND SYLLABUS OF ALL COURSES The Curriculum and Syllabus for all the courses of Medical / Dental, AYUSH and AHS have been modified and updated (2011). The entire updated syllabuses are made available in the University website.

(B) CLARITY ON THE TERM DAYS AND ATTENDANCE EXISTING There is no clarity in the calculation of No.of working days in a year, term days and attendance for all UG and PG Courses. Minimum requirement of attendance of 75% was in vogue for being eligible to appear for the examination.

REVISION INTRODUCED Introduced Bio-metric system of attendance for the Faculties and Students in the affiliated institutions from the academic year 2012-13. The total No. of working days in an academic year has been calculated taking into account the No. of Govt. declared holidays, eligibility of study and other kinds of leave etc. The number of working days for UG and PG Medical courses is fixed as 260 and 290 days respectively in a year. The calculation of working days is given below: (1 Year = 365 days) UG PG No.of weekly off (Sundays)

(365-105) (365-75) For the first time in the history of any Medical University in India, the minimum attendance for the candidates has been prescribed as 90% for becoming eligible to appear for the examination. There shall be no condonation of any kind of leave for any reason including Pregnancy, Child Birth and Medical conditions of any nature. This is because incompletion of the required term days will result in incomplete training, jeopardizing the life of human beings. HUMAN LIFE CANNOT BE COMPROMISED ON ANY ACCOUNT. The Regulations on attendance and term days for UG/PG courses has been prescribed and implemented.

(C) REFORMS IN THE EXAM PATTERN (GENERAL) Existing •

The candidate should secure 50% in theory.

•

If a subject has been divided into two papers, the candidate has to get a minimum of 100 marks (aggregate) for a PASS out of 200 marks.

•

Under this system, the candidate had the option of omitting vital points as he/she has to secure 50% of aggregate marks combining Section A and B.

Proposed •

30

Separate passing minimum of 50% marks has been introduced for each section (Section A & B), each Paper and each component viz.,Theory, Practical/Clinical, Viva, Internal Assessment(IA)etc.

Reasons for such reforms •

For Medical Students, the syllabus i.e., the human body (from head to foot) will always the same.

•

Nothing more or less can be added.

•

All aspects of the human body have to be learnt by the medical students.

•

They cannot afford to leave out any portion.

•

Hence no choice is allowed in theory.

•

An anomalous situation has arisen where a student knowing more of one part of the body (Paper-I) and less of another part of the body (Paper II) was capable of passing the exam.

•

The importance of not knowing parts of the human body will prove disastrous while this student becomes a medical graduate is facing a life threatening situation in a critical patient.

•

His incompetence in this situation can never be proved legally, but morally his not knowing part of human body is the real cause.

•

To avoid such a situation, it is decided that a separate pass in each component of the exam i.e., Paper I, Paper II, Practical,

•

Viva, IA is necessary for the students so that they learn all the portions without any choice.

INTERNAL ASSESSMENT The component for Internal Assessment consist of Theory (50 marks) and Practical (50 marks). It is a Pre-requisite for the candidates to obtain 50% marks (raising it from 35% marks) in I.A. to become eligible to appear for the Exams

APPROVAL OF REFORMS AND HIGHER STANDARDS i) Medical Council of India •

As per the counter affidavit filed in W.P.No.23030 of 2011 in paragraph 16, the MCI has stated that the University can have higher standards than the minimum requirement laid down by the MCI

ii) Dental Council of India •

The DCI in their letter No.DE-130-2011/S-5861, dated 27-1-12 has informed that the eligibility criteria and other provisions prescribing admission, examination, syllabus, curriculum etc.,in course regulations framed by DCI are bare minimum and permitted the Medical University for prescribing higher standard than that of Regulations of DCI for maintaining higher standard of dental education in the State of Tamil Nadu.

(iii) Pharmacy Council of India •

The PCI in their letter No.14-56/2011-PCI, dated 10-4-12 has informed that the PCI has prescribed the minimum standard of education required for qualification as a Pharmacist.

(iv) Central Council of Homoeopathy •

The Central Council of Homoeopathy in their letter No.14-23/2011-CCH/1656, dated 3-5-12 have stated that the Council has prescribed the minimum norms – If the University intends to improve these norms for betterment of the standards of education in Homoeopathy, CCH will have no objection.

31

(D) Evaluation Methodology & Training the Trainers The Academicians who were faculty of the University introduced novelchanges like OSCE and ward rounds in the P.G. Evaluation methods. Problem solving in clinical situations while treating patients was given more importance than clinical diagnosis alone. The teachers were asked to prune the syllabus for undergraduates to reduce their burden. Courses were conducted in the University to train teachers from all over the State in the new methodology. This was introduced from the academic year 2010 – 11.

(i) MODERATION MARKS Old : Reviewing the exam results in the first year M.B.B.S between the period 2007 – 2009, it was observed that moderation marks from 1 to 49 had been given to varying students to apparently boost up the exam results. This is against the MCI guidelines which allow only 5 marks for moderation. Revised : Review of the results 2010 – 11 shows the real pass rate for the 1st year M.B.B.S students. Only 5 marks allowed by the MCI had been given as moderation marks. Hence the real pass rate appears low in comparison. It has, therefore, been decided to award the moderation marks upto a maximum of 5 for only one subject, if the candidate has cleared all the other subjects.

(E) C.R.R.I (i) INTRODUCTION OF C.R.R.I SKILLS TRAINING •

For the first time in the history of any Medical University, CRRI Skills training for one day in each of the following postings has been introduced during the period of CRRI training. No.

Under the Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 1997, the period of one year CRRI is prescribed. There is no provision for condoning the break, if any in the period of CRRI.

•

The Regulations for regulating and condoning the break in the period of CRRI/CRI and Internship have been prescribed by the University.

32

(M) ENCOURAGING MEDICAL P.G. STUDENTS TO PUBLISH ARTICLES AND INTRODUCTION OF E-PROXY Publication is an important aspect of academics, research and scientific development. “Publish or perish” has become the cardinal rule of academia all over the world.

PRESENT SITUATION So far, the criteria for completion of a course for the postgraduates and super specialty registrars were the conventional written exam, practical exam and viva.

The Change – Med ej In order to encourage and train the post graduates (M.D/M.S) and the super speciality (D.M/M.Ch) registrars in the art and science of publication, the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University has made atleast one publication of a scientific article mandatory to appear for the examination. In order to help the students in publication, the University has started an e-journal – Med ej . The publication space in Med ej is exclusive for the articles of postgraduate degree (MD and MS) and super speciality (D.M. and M.Ch) students of this University. This initiative was made to encourage the students to do research and have first-hand experience in publication of research. This is the first of its kind in India. This is the first time that a medical University is having its own journal.

Intro duction of E-Pro xy Introduction of E-Proxy to view the medical journals / articles / abstracts for all the students and faculty of the Government Medical Colleges in the state with the assistance from National Medical Library. 2000 journals can be accessed by the students / faculty from their own computer with a password.

(N) CME CREDITS Present Scenario There was no accrediting body in the State of Tamil Nadu to accord CME credits and categorize the educational activities. No regulation was in vogue to encourage students and faculty to attend various educational activities.

The Change From the academic Year (2010-2011), The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University introduced mandatory CME Credit points to be obtained by CRRIs and Postgraduates as part of their curriculum. The requisite credit points should be submitted by each candidate at the end of the posting /Course to get completion/ appearance for university examination: 1. Post Graduates – ( Masters) – 50 credit points 2. Post Graduates – ( Diploma) – 40 credit points 3. CRRIs - 25 credit Points As there was no accrediting body in the state of Tamil Nadu, the Centre for CME accreditation was started by the University in 2010 to award CME credits and to categorize the educational activities.

39

(O) CONVOCATION The University examinations are held in two sessions - one in February/ April and another one in August/October of every year. the University has been holding two Convocations every year i.e., one in January and another one in July from 2010 onwards to issue the Degree Certificates to the eligible students on completion of examination in each session without delay.

(P) STANDARDISATION OF PROVISIONAL AND DEGREE CERTIFICATES 20 types of Provisional Certificates and 38 types of Degree Certificates have been standardized and brought down to 3 Nos. and 2 Nos. respectively.

(Q) INSTITUTING MEDICAL UNIVERSITY MEDALS For award of Medals to the meritorious students in the UG and PG courses of all Medical, Dental, AYUSH and AHS, endowments have been created by various Philanthropists with certain amount as a corpus fund and the interest accrued thereon was utilised. It was found that all the subjects in UG courses and all the branches of PG Courses and all Super Speciality Medical courses are not covered by the above endowments. To encourage the students, the Medical University Medals have been created for all the courses of Medical/Dental/Indian Medicine & Homoeopathy and Allied Health Sciences for which no endowments are available bringing the total number of award of Medals from 79 to 163. By this, the candidates of all the courses, who are meritorious and securing highest marks are awarded with either the Endowment Medals or the University Medals.

(R) ESTABLISHMENT OF STUDENTS SUPPORTIVE CENTRE IN THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS The Students Supportive Service has been introduced with the Social Welfare Officers of the University to •

offer free, impartial, and service of professional nature and academic matters.

•

offer counselling and guidance, help and support to students, applicants and parents for selecting right professional course.

•

In order to help in channelizing the youth for constructive activities, Youth Red Cross is introduced which is also part of the College activities as per University directions.

40

(S) CREATION OF SPORTS COUNCIL The students of the affiliated institutions must be encouraged to involve themselves in sports activities, as the Medical University feels that they not only improve in studies but also maintain good physique. For this purpose, the University Sports Council has been created to extend financial assistance to the students of affiliated institutions to participate in the Inter-Collegiate or Inter-University Sports Events at State or National Level.

(T) FORMATION OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION (MUAA) Though there are several colleges under various Universities, the students take pride in their University and not the individual colleges. Like Universities of the West, students will quote their University as their Alma Matter”. Keeping the above in view, Medical University Alumni Association (MUAA) has been formed to: i) unite the students of this University both past, present and future under one umbrella. ii) promote a platform for the students to encourage knowledge contribution, sharing of ideas and helping each other. iii) help the university to gain international reputation, to increase the corpus fund which in turn will be helpful in contribution towards the students community.

REFORMS IN FINANCE & ACCOUNTS

49

REFORMS IN FINANCE / ACCOUNTS Introduction of Computers •

In order to move from manual accounting to computerized accounting, provided computers to all the staff in the Finance/Accounts Department.

Hands on Training in Computers •

All the staff were given adequate training to operate the computers, especially for financial and accounting applications.

Introduction of User Friendly Accounting Package To bring in the latest developments that have taken place in the accounting field, a comprehensive, up to date, fool proof, user friendly, reliable and time tested accounting package “Tally” was identified and introduced. All the staff were adequately trained for using this software.

Double Entry Accounting System •

Earlier, the University was following single entry system of accounting, which is incomplete and unscientific. Double entry system of accounting was introduced to give a complete picture of the financial position of the University at any point of time. By this, the following reports could be generated: •

Day Book

•

Ledger

•

Trial Balance

•

Receipts & Payments Account

•

Income & Expenditure Account

•

Balance Sheet

Accrual Based Financial Reporting •

Under the older system, what was actually received and paid were only recorded. What is due and what are to be paid were not reported.

•

Hence, the scientific method of “Accrual Based Accounting” was introduced w.e.f. 01/04/2011 by the University to bring in transparency, accountability, completeness, consistency and effective financial management and reporting. A reputed Chartered Accountant firm was assigned this job, to bring in professionalism and to be properly guided.

•

All the Assets and Liabilities of the University were brought into the books of accounts and effectively monitored. Arrears of dues from any educational institution and expenses to be paid for will be clearly depicted in the accounts, on par with Corporate sector.

•

This Medical University is the first of its kind amongst all the Government Universities in our State to introduce this system. In a recent meeting, the Finance Minister of India has appealed to all the State Governments to switch over to this system, which we already have in practice.

Introduction of online Remittance System •

This University had been receiving the remittances due through Demand Drafts from the Affiliated Institutions towards various fees payable to the University and from the students for the services required from this University i.e., for issue of Eligibility 50 Certificates, Migration Certificate. In this system, the amount is credited to the University only on realisation of demand draft. To avoid losing interest for the intermittent period viz., between the period of remittance of DD and realisation of amount, a new system of remittance to the University by the Institutions and Students through RTGS/NEFT has been introduced. According to this system, the amount is instantaneously credited to the University Account on remittance. By this method, the Institutions / Students, also save their time.

51

Payment Gateway System •

The system of Payment Gateway has also been introduced. This system was conceived mainly for the benefit of the students of this University particularly for the students who are staying abroad. Through this system, the students from abroad can apply for any service to the University by making the payment through Payment Gateway system and save their time.

Introduction of “Receipt” System This University has introduced “Receipt System” abolishing the system of giving endorsement on the tapal itself to make sure that every service is given by the University only after receiving the respective fee. While giving endorsement, duplication may be possible on the duplicate Tapal. After introduction of “Receipt” system”, the receipt with unique number is automatically created in the “tally” on feeding every remittance.

CME on ‘Pathology of Revision Arthroplasty’ The second CME of the Silver Jubilee year was conducted on 31st January 2012 between 3.00 p.m to 5.00 p.m in the senate hall of this university. An expert in field of orthopaedic pathology Dr. Manjula Bansal, Attending pathologist and chief of Clinical Pathology, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA and Associate professor of Pathology, Weill Cornell medical college, New York, USA gave guest lecture on “Pathology in Orthopaedics”. It was a brainstorming session. About 50 faculties and post graduate students from The T.N. Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Madras Medical College, Kilpauk Medical College and Stanley Medical College attended the lecture.

Technology Driven Teaching Methodologies - Keeping up with Time and Challenges Primum non nocere - “first do no harm”, is the fundamental principle of medical practice. Medical training has been using live patients to teach and perfect the skills of health professionals. This practice has been questioned as the patients’ safety and wellbeing is being compromised. Balancing between the need for medical training and patients’ safety represents a fundamental ethical tension in medical education. Simulation-based learning can help in this situation by developing health professionals’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes while protecting patients from unnecessary risk. Universities and medical schools in India are faced with an ongoing shortage of cadavers for education and research because of insufficient numbers of cadaver donations. Today’s medical students carry vast amounts of reference materials on their iPhones and laptops. They’re increasingly likely to learn anatomy with a computer in place of a scalpel. And when they graduate, they’ll be seeing patients who’ve had genetic testing to determine disease risk. So how do medical schools adjust their curricula to cope with these twenty-first century realities? Like many other procedures, hands-on cadaver dissections may no longer be a common staple of the first-year medical school experience but may be replaced with three-dimensional anatomical models or robotic patients.

While Simulation based training has been used in many high risk professions such as aviation and military, health care has lagged behind in simulation applications for a number of reasons, including cost, lack of rigorous proof of effect, and resistance to change. With many medical schools currently facing a shift in their teaching paradigm, it is probably time to introduce technologically driven methods of teaching that are consistent, reproducible, standardized and safe. This environment encourages learning through experimentation, with the ability to rewind, rehearse and practice, until the technique is learned, without any negative patient outcomes. The Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University, as a part of its Silver Jubilee Celebrations organized a “Training the Trainers” session on simulation in medical curriculum, titled “Technology Driven Teaching Methodologies- keeping up with time and challenges” on 24. 02. 2012 at the Senate Hall of this University. Eminent speakers elicited the necessity for simulation based training in medical curriculum.

Simulation Training in Healthcare – Train the Trainer Conference In spite of the extensive advances in biomedical research, the medical college curriculum has remained mostly static for the past half a century. Now is the time to assess innovative models for training physicians so that a new generation will be prepared to face the challenges of practicing medicine in the 21st century. Major focus would be to change the practice from a method of memorization to a process of identifying questions about scientific and clinical observations and find creative therapeutic solutions. One of the methods considered by most as an effective means of training the physicians without adding stress and harm to the patients is simulation training. Simulation training permits the creation of an environment that is realistic enough to allow for successful development of skills in a manner that is reproducible and safe for the learner and, most importantly, for the patient. Simulation based training in health care will certainly prepare our medical and nursing graduates to face the real life emergency situations without fear of making mistakes. This method gives an opportunity to learn and master simple as well as complex technical skills needed in emergent situations, apply their clinical knowledge and current and evidence based methods in patient care. With all these facts from all around the world, for the FIRST time in the country, the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University has included simulation in its curriculum. To train the faculty of the affiliated institutions, the University along with Health Education and Learning Projects (H.E.L.P) Charitable Foundation, USA and American Tamil Medical Association (ATMA) conducted a the training the trainer program with 6 International Resource persons from USA and Australia and 10 resource persons from India on 17th and 18th, November 2012. This two day long program was an overwhelming success with 158 registered participants. The participants benefitted from lectures on setting up and functioning of simulation lab and also had hands on session on simulation models. For the first time in the country, a simulation model for training of infertility specialists in ICSI was also on display.
