New Delhi: Surgeons in
the country can now sharpen their skills and practise even after
completing their masters in surgery (MS) as a national-level body
-- College of Surgeons of India (CSI) -- will be inaugurated
Wednesday.
"The CSI will strengthen the present and future of surgery with an
agenda to bring reforms in surgical curriculum, education,
training, practices and the surgical examination system in the
country," CSI president N.K Pandey told reporters here Tuesday.
The CSI, to be formally inaugurated by Human Resource Development
Minister Kapil Sibal, will function from the Asian Institute of
Medical Sciences (AIMS) in the national capital region's Faridabad
town.
According to the Planning Commission, the country is short of
600,000 doctors even as experts say there is no specific count on
the shortage of surgeons.
"It is difficult to sum up the demand-supply ratio with reference
to surgeons in India," said CSI chairman Gautam Sen.
"The CSI is on the lines of the American College of Surgeons and
the Royal Colleges in the UK which standardise the examination
system, curriculum, training and assessment of surgeons," he
added.
The programme 'Fellowship of CSI' will train and conduct
examinations for surgery students.
"We do not have enough seats for surgical training in various
medical colleges. Also there is a drain of talent. The best
trained and highly-skilled surgeons and teachers have joined
corporate hospitals," Sen said.
