Don’t you think the expansion in the private sector made medical education too expensive for a large section of students?
|While more seats in the government colleges are welcome, it should not be at the cost of quality. That would be a disservice to society. In the private sector, there is often a profit motive which is not what India needs. If you want medical education at a price that the middle class can afford, then there has to be substantial subsidy. But often the cost of medical education is underestimated…. If you take into account every expense in a medical college scientifically, costing of medical education would be high. It has to be recovered from students. But there should not be any profiteering. Every state has a cost fixation committee, but there are so many ways of circumventing these regulations in India.
It is CMEpedia’s philosophy to be a generic distributor of existing CMEmodules. On one hand, to expand the market for CMEproviders without generating additional developmental costs for them. On the other hand, to sell these modules at low rates for medical students and professionals to reduce the expense of their training.
