FUTURE OF TRAINING AND LEARNING MEDICINE BUILDING BETTER MEDICAL INSTITUTES
1. Dr.T.V.Rao MD
We are all aware that we are moving from static learning to interactive learning where
teacher and students try to interact with each other, as many Institutions are getting away
from didactic Teaching methods to encourage the learner as important participant. The
matters are moving beyond human imagination with the proliferation of Internet and
telemedicine, the people can empower themselves for many good reasons or can be
dangerous at times? People wish to communicate their knowledge and new initiatives
faster as Initiatives will span across traditional functional and geographical boundaries,
heightening the need for greater knowledge sharing and collaboration. Medicine has to
be a sustainable career with opportunities to change roles and specialties throughout
doctors’ careers. With a higher premium placed on achieving flexibility and agility,
organizations that rely on strong internal networks have been more successful at
coordinating efficiency and innovation. In future every Institute will have their own policies
on knowledge sharing, many good medical institutions are creating their knowledge
connect with intranet, and some body controls the matters for making the students orient
with only peer reviewed facts. Our Medical colleges and Institutions should move from
talent management perspective, in future will need to adopt a more network-centric
approach to foster leadership effectiveness within this new context it is highly
appreciated. ‘The role of doctors is changing rapidly against a backdrop of medical,
technological and scientific advances. Evolving healthcare and population needs,
changes to healthcare systems and changing patient and public expectations will all
affect how doctors will practice in the future. Today’s trend in many Indian hospitals is
changing from Hospital Management to Health care Resource Development Just as the
human resources arena has recently evolved from an individual-focused, personnel-
service mind-set to a team-oriented framework, the next decade may require human
capital strategies to further shift to a network-driven mentality As we all see we are more
influenced by media and network communications. I think our Modern Indian system of
Medicine, mainly adopted from British system still works good we produce some of the
best performing Medical professionals, there is strong support for doctors initially to
receive a broad training in specialty areas. It has been suggested that this would help
doctors work effectively in multi-professional teams and treat patients in both primary and
secondary care settings. They might then undertake further development in special
interest and sub-specialty areas as the needs of patients and the service demands.
Today our Medical students are more influenced by Social Media networks, with the
emergence of social networking websites such as Facebook and LinkedIn has obviously
facilitated the ease of execution with such efforts. According to social recruiting firm
Jobvite’s Social Recruiting Survey 2011, 84 percent of surveyed recruiters employ
LinkedIn for candidate searches, whereas 64 percent of the participants used two or
more online networks. It all depends on how you make it on social Media networks, will
advantage that you can be suggested by the right job , try not to use to Social media
networks for creating trash and irrelevant material as you will be considered as man of no
objectives, in screening process people and employers lose interest in you. The future
role Health resource development departments is unlimited they can build better
Institutes with improved talents To truly transform network-based collaboration into an
integral part of an organization’s culture, as We have our culture, demographic pattern of
the diseases, emerging challenges and above all demands with our patients. Health
resource development should consider incorporating such criteria into performance
management systems. Employee competency models tend to assume an individual-
centric framework, but many are beginning to include collaborative and network-building
behaviors. Never forget today human actions and performance is guided by many factors
and one important factor continues to be his or her online behaviors on matters of
learning. A stronger network-driven approach for human resources will also help
2. transform the profession into a model of continuity. In other words, Human resource
initiatives will start to shift from episodic processes to more of a continuous cycle of talent
management, mirroring the ongoing activity of networks. Practices such as recruiting,
performance appraisals, engagement assessments, and professional development will
occur on a more constant basis than the defined annual touch points and other
frequencies currently employed. The future question to many Doctors remain with the
Chances of survival with unlimited production of doctors as we will perceive many
Medical professionals perish in the system if they do not upgrade the knowledge and
communication to suit the needs of their patients. The Doctors should be more flexible,
as Doctors need to be able to transfer their learning and experience between specialties
as their careers change and develop and as the needs of patients change, and will be
able to take up the job and adopt to the situation. Our post graduate system should
address the changing advances in modern care, how faster we can adopt make a
difference to the modern Medical care, Balancing training needs with service demands
There is considerable support for doctors in training doing longer placements, with better
integration in teams and a more apprenticeship-like approach. This could help to balance
the competing pressures of service provision and training better.better. The doctors who
wish to continue to academic fields should update the matters faster, We the senior
professionals should create a path to Doctors in academic training structure, that is
flexible enough to allow them to move in and out of clinical training while meeting the
competencies and standards of that training. Senior Teachers in Medicine have greater
role to create better path in Teaching and Training to shape the future of Medicine. Never
forget us alone, the better humans can make the better Medical Institutes with
sustainability.
