The unique win-win blueprint

The National Board has a distinct blueprint. It seeks to empower and enrich the country’s
human resource in diverse specialist and super specialist medical and surgical disciplines through the

induction of a robust, innovative, low-cost postgraduate teaching programme. The focus is on

optimization of the
existing well-

founded healthcare

facilities that offer
vast clinical

experience and
have highly-skilful

and erudite
clinicians who can

double up well as

teachers. Optimum
utilization of large

existing hospitals in
the country which

offer a vast clinical experience and have highly-skilful, erudite clinicians on their staff who can teach
and train the postgraduate students is the guiding theme of National Board of Examinations in

Medical Sciences. To accomplish its mission, National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences

has accredited a large number of medical institutions both in the public and private segment. These
hospitals are its partners in postgraduate medical education. This innovative approach is associated

with a number of benefits. It maximizes the utilization of existing hospital facilities, builds an
academic milieu in these institutions, inspires the clinician-teachers to update their knowledge, and

most significantly, improves the standards of patient care through 24 × 7 presence of young residents

who stand committed to learn and perform, and possess the energy of youth. In essence, it is a win-
win formula for all stakeholders.
