Formula For Excellence

Be a good human being, be empathetic and dedicated to your calling—this is at the core of all courses taught at AIIMS

Dr Randeep Guleria
Formula For Excellence

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, at its core, is a culture. Sixty years ago, the founding fathers of the institute developed a culture of excellence, in education, research, academics and patient care, which ultimately depended on its faculty. I am very proud and happy to say that this culture has endured and grown over the years. AIIMS gets a lot of support from the government in terms of funding, but what really sets it apart is its dedicated faculty. Immensely dedicated and involved, they make AIIMS a premier institution.

For students seeking the AIIMS experience, I would like to draw their attention to the rapidly evolving field of medicine. Fundamental changes—never witnessed before in the history of medical science—have taken place in the past two decades. These changes have made it essential for us to change our curriculum and training methods and arm our students with the knowledge and expertise to cope with the changes and challenges on the expanding frontiers—be it technology or diagnostic tests, the rise of new pathogens or emerging diseases. Always, keeping in mind the needs of the Indian society—from lifestyle, non-communicable diseases that were not there 20 years ago to the rising threat of antibiotic resistance and the need to use antibiotics judiciously.

In medicine, students learn a lot of things through theory, books and lectures, but when we look at students, we look at a number of things. We think that there’s an enormous need for skill development. Hence, we have set up a skill lab at AIIMS. A virtual simulation lab, here they can acquire a variety of experiences and procedures by using mannequins and models. From simple procedures like putting an IV line or incubating a patient to complex procedures like a laparoscopic surgery.
