PG Diploma in Health Professions Education course is offered at MGMCRI with an intake of 24 seats. The duration of the course is of one year. Availability of competent and committed teachers and trainers has been recognized as a key factor for the development of health manpower in the country. While the training of doctors, nurses and dental professionals has been largely governed by the respective Professional Councils, there is a need to develop a cadre of health profession educators under a common umbrella, to leverage a team approach to the delivery of health care services. This is all the more essential, in view of the rapid expansion of health professional infrastructure in the country leading to an imbalance in production and acute shortage of educators in quality and quantity, across the health profession.
