Delhi govt doctors to get practice skill from CME platform: Jain

NEW DELHI: Leading on-line CME platform Omnicuris has collaborated with Delhi Medical Council to help provide free of cost medical skill upgradation to Delhi's government doctors through online modules and courses, Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said while inaugurating a conclave on Tuesday. On the occasion, Chief Executive Officer of Omnicuris Savitha Kuttan and President of Delhi Medical Council Dr Arun Kumar Gupta were present. The conclave focussed on solutions to address the knowledge as well as practice skill gap for both private and public doctors.

Jain said that the best part of this Continued Medical Education (CME) platform is that you don't have to travel far off to attend the sessions. "A doctor can access the session by sitting at the home and that also without paying for it. One of the drawbacks of our education system is it is formal and we don't pay attention to the education after passing out from school and college," said Jain .

"Another drawback is with the advent of Internet, it has become difficult to comprehend whether the knowledge we are getting is authentic information or not. But, with Omnicuris, one can study without thinking about all these. I just have one request that their study modules should have chapters on food, exercise, thought process and soft skills as these are very important for a doctor as well as patient," said Satyendra Jain.
