Medicos rue lack of practical exposure
The Hindu
Majority of postgraduate students are put on COVID-19 duty alone
Postgraduate students in government medical colleges are in a fix without any exposure to practical experience. A majority of them are put on COVID-19 duty alone ever since the pandemic struck last year and are not getting hands-on knowledge on other subjects. Functionaries of the Kerala Medical Postgraduates Association (KMPGA) told The Hindu on Thursday that from March 2020, they had no regular theory classes for the three-year course. Though online classes had begun by the end of last year, there had not been any practical sessions. Students specialising in surgery were the worst affected as they had not got any chance to learn while on the job.More Related News
