1. The Government reviewed the norms and conditions laid down in the above 4 G.Os for starting of Para Medical Courses by Private Organisations especially in backward and rural areas in this State and decided to take a policy decision.

2. In the G.O. fifth read above, the Government constituted a committee consisting of eminent experts in Medical Department with instructions to sent its report to frame revised / new guidelines to grant permission to Private Organisations for starting of Para Medical Courses . The committee met on 24.8.2001 and sent its report. The committee has observed that since guidelines for granting permission to various para medical course are already available, some new conditions relevant to the present time are to be included in the existing guidelines laid down in the above Government Orders.

3. The Government have examined the recommendation of the committee including general conditions suggested by the committee for granting permission for starting of Para Medical Courses by Self Financing Private Organisations/Registered Trusts/Registered Societies and decided to accept the recommedations and suggestions except few modification. Accordingly the Government issue the following orders:-

(a) There are more number of private institutions offering Para Medical Educational courses in the Districts of Coimbatore, Chennai city, Salem, Erode, Madurai, Trichy, Thanjavur, Kanyakumari, and Tiruvallore. In the southern districts like Sivagangai, Ramnad, Virudunagar, Karur, Pudukottai Thiruvarur, Nagai, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Villupuram, Theni, Nilgiris, Dindigul, Cuddalore, Tuticorin, as well as in Kancheepuram only a few institutions are available and the required number of institutions are not available resulting inconvenience to students of that rural area. Hence, the institutions which are willing to start para medical educational courses in the above needy districts and backward areas will be given preference.

(b) The private institutions which are able to provide 150 bedded own hospital for Nursing/BPT/BOT courses and 75 bedded own hospital for other courses should alone be considered, since such hospitals are quite essential requirement for clinical training of their students. However attachment of Hospitals may be allowed, but the same hospitals should not be shown by any other institutions.

(c) Request from a trust already running paramedical courses which applies again to start paramedical courses in the same area under a new different Trusts name consisting the same members as trustees or their nearest blood relationship such applications will not be considered since it will result in monopoly of a single set of trustees or institutions in that particular area and also in the particular course.

(d) It is further ordered that as a general policy of government while granting permission to start paramedical courses by private institutions applications received from the Registered Trust/ Registered Society/Registered Charitable Trust /Registered Charitable Society alone will be given preference.

(e) The Trust/ Society permitted by the Government to start Para Medical Courses should pay Rs.5,000/- towards Inspection fee/Administrative fee to the Government account. The above Administrative fee/Inspection fee should be paid one time only before starting the course.

4.The Government also issue relevant amendments to the following Government Orders on the recommendation of the committee in the annexure noted against each of Government Orders

4.From the Director of Medical Education letter No.53968/ME.I /3/ 2001 dated 17.7.2001

1. In the G.O. 2nd read above, orders were issued among others framing guidelines to consider the requests of private Organisation for issue of Essentiality Certificate to start Medical / Dental college in the State The Government have reviewed the existing guidelines and constituted a committee to suggest norms for issue of Essentiality Certificate to start Medical / Dental college in the backward areas of the State by private organisations keeping in view of the norms of Medical Council of India / Dental Council of India, New Delhi.

2. The Government have examined the recommendations of the committee. The Ninth Plan Targets for the Doctor - Patient ratio is fixed at 1 :1000 . The present Doctor patient ratio is 1:2000. Due to the present ratio, shortage of Doctors in Rural Areas is felt. It would be prohibitively expensive to open more number of colleges in the State Sector and therefore it is decided to consider the request of the private organisation for issue of NOC to start Medical and Dental Colleges in backward areas of the State. The starting of new Institutions would also go a long way in improving the Medical facilities in these areas. A large number of students from the State are going to neighbouring States to pursue Medical studies and the students will be able to pursue their studies nearer to their homes.

3. In modification of the orders issued in the Government Order 2nd read above the Government direct the Director of Medical Education

(i) to consider the requests of private organisations for issue of Essentiality Certificate to start Medical /Dental college in the Backward / rural areas of the State and send proposals to the Government with his specific recommendation after making an Inspection by a team of Professors. The Inspection Team shall be requested to take in to with consideration of the Medical Council of India / Dental Council of India norms as mentioned in the annexure and make their specific recommendation.

(ii) the issue of Essentiality Certificate shall be considered in the locations where the Government could not come forward to open new colleges in Backward areas of the State.

(iii) the 100 k.ms limit from the existing college as per the existing guidelines will not be insisted upon if the proposed location is backward and rural area.

4.The Director of Medical Education shall take necessary follow up action as suggested in para 3 above.

Globally, 1 million people die from suicide annually. Around the world, almost one million people die due to suicide every year, and it is the third leading cause of death among young people. In the last 45 years, suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide. Mental disorders, particularly Depression and Substance abuse are associated with more than 90% of all cases of suicide. Asia accounts 60% of world's suicide. India, china and Japan accounts for 40% of their number.

What are meant by Suicide, Attempted suicide and Para suicide?

Suicide:-The term suicide is used to denote self-planned and deliberate termination of one's life. It is as old as mankind and is indeed a giant puzzle. It is a paradox why humans who love to live a full life turn to self destruction.

Attempted suicide :-

Among those who attempt suicide, a few succeed, but some survive due to timely intervention of chance factors in spite of best planning and clear cut intention to die. They are known as Attempted suicide.

Para suicide :-

It is an impulsive act of self injurious behaviour without any prior planning or intent to die. The harm to self may be done by inflicting injury or consuming a substance. It is otherwise known as Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH)

A Person who tries to terminate his life with real intent may survive. So much so, an individual who injure himself impulsively without any real intent to die may lose his life.

Medical education needs radical reform: ai, alone, isn’t the answer.

Medical school needs radical reform. AI coursework, alone, won't prep students for the medical ... [+] challenges that await.

America’s medical schools, with their state-of-the-art facilities and history of groundbreaking clinical advancements, have built a reputation as global leaders in scientific and technological innovation. But does reputation match reality?

In an episode of the Fixing Healthcare podcast recorded in 2023, Deep Medicine author Eric Topol highlighted a significant oversight in medical education.

“It’s pretty embarrassing,” he said. “If you go across 150 medical schools, not one has AI as a core curriculum.”

A year later, most U.S. medical schools have responded by weaving AI into their programs. But look closer and you’ll find that most of the coursework—a mix of theoretical application, ethical consideration and the use of AI to streamline routine tasks: billing, coding, charting—fails to arm future physicians with the training they’ll need to improve medical care and save lives.

Medical Education Is Failing Patients, Doctors

In 1910, education reformer Abraham Flexner published a groundbreaking condemnation of American medical schools. His controversial findings revealed significant inadequacies in the training of future doctors.

The Flexner Report led to the closure of about half the nation’s medical schools and the restructuring of medical education, resulting in more scientifically rigorous and clinically relevant curricula. Flexner’s goal was not just to standardize clinical training but to stop thousands of needless deaths caused by substandard medical practices.

More than a century later, American medicine faces a similar opportunity. Hundreds of thousands of people die each year from mostly preventable chronic diseases, misdiagnoses, medical errors and gaps in research.

Having extensively studied and written about the future of generative AI in medicine , I believe this technology can revolutionize medical care. However, this will only happen if medical schools fundamentally redesign their curricula to teach students how to use GenAI to radically improve medical practices and processes.

The time is now to reform medical education. Here are three GenAI-powered opportunities students must master to improve clinical outcomes and save patient lives:

1. Chronic Disease Management: From Episodic To Continuous

Traditional medical education focuses on students memorizing tens of thousands of facts and committing to memory diagnostic and treatment “algorithms.”

By the time they graduate, doctors are expected to apply these memorized facts and algorithms toward helping patients manage chronic diseases and prevent their complications. Clinicians are taught the drugs to prescribe, the lifestyle modifications to recommend and the protocols to follow, including scheduling a routine follow-up visit three to four months later.

The problem with this “standard” episodic approach is that it leaves physicians with no actionable data between visits. The lack of continuous monitoring leads to:

Delayed adjustments to medication.
Inconsistent adherence to treatment plans.
Poor disease control that remains unnoticed until the next office appointment.

Today, chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension afflict 6 in 10 Americans, and are responsible for 1.7 million American deaths each year from heart attacks, strokes, cancer and other complications.

These deaths are directly tied to a lack of prevention and effective disease management. Today, hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and is adequately controlled only 55% of the time. Diabetes, the leading cause of kidney failure and major contributor to cardiovascular disease, is controlled even less often. We know that control rates of 90% or more are possible with best practices, but not with today’s approach.

According to the CDC, 30% to 50% of the life-threatening complications from chronic disease could be avoided with effective management. Teaching medical students how to use generative AI for continuous—not episodic—monitoring would radically improve the health of patients and our nation as a whole.

Today’s doctors have access to wearable monitors capable of measuring blood pressure and blood sugar. When linked with GenAI, these tools can reliably analyze patient health data and provide medical advice based on the expectations set by a clinician.

With this combination, patients don’t have to guess whether they need a physician’s medical attention. They know. And that expertise allows physicians to intervene sooner when there’s a problem while reducing unnecessary office visits when chronic diseases are well-controlled.

Based on CDC data, successfully training the next generation of doctors to effectively monitor and manage chronic illnesses will save an estimated 510,000 to 850,000 lives each year with an annual reduction in healthcare spending of $163 billion to $272 billion.

2. Diagnosis: From Confirmation Bias To Constant Second Opinion

In classrooms and on clinical rotations, medical students are still being taught to rely on their memory to establish a diagnosis and recommend optimal treatment.

Often, in the rush of clinical practice, they fall prey to cognitive human biases , leading to unintended but frequent errors. Each year, misdiagnoses kill 400,00 Americans.

American doctors are smart, skilled and committed to their patients. And yet, errors occur. GenAI provides doctors the opportunity to double check their assumptions and reduce the risk of error—all at no added cost.

AI can analyze vast amounts of patient data, including symptoms, medical histories and diagnostic test results. And cognitive errors like confirmation, over-confidence and proximity bias don’t happen with computer applications. GenAI isn’t perfect, but the technology can serve as a valuable complement to human analysis. And because it can compare a patient’s data against a massive, comprehensive database of known diseases and medical conditions, it can identify possible diagnoses that a doctor might overlook.

Already, it has shown great potential to reduce misdiagnoses in emergency room settings . One recent study evaluated AI’s ability to triage patients, finding that the AI performed on par with doctors and nurses, accurately identifying patients at higher risk. A second study assessed AI’s diagnostic accuracy based on patient symptoms and lab results, and the AI consistently proved more accurate than physicians in correctly identifying the likely diagnosis.

And the technology is only getting better. Experts predict that by the time today’s matriculating medical students finish their fellowship programs in 10 years, generative AI will be 1,000 times more powerful .

3. Research: From Human Hypotheses To Data Mining

Clinical research is the backbone of medical advancement, providing doctors with the information they need to improve health outcomes and save lives. In school, physicians are taught how to design research studies, analyze data and write journal articles.

When crafting studies, researchers today pose a clinical question, extract information from medical records and perform a statistical analysis. With the availability of GenAI, we have the opportunity to reverse-engineer this traditional approach.

By using GenAI, doctors now have the ability to analyze vast amounts of data generated by bedside monitors, operative robots and other digital sources. At present, U.S. hospitals create 50 petabytes of data every year , with 97% of it going unused. That’s the data equivalent to the entire published works of mankind through all of recorded history in every language. All this data is currently omitted from clinical research because the sheer volume exceeds researchers’ ability to analyze the patterns embedded within it, making it impossible to separate the signal from the noise.

By using GenAI models to dissect this data, doctors will be able to advance medical knowledge much faster than today. The technology will help clinicians accurately predict which hospitalized patients will deteriorate over the next 24 hours and take preventive action. It will allow oncologists to determine optimal chemotherapy doses with fewer complications. It will enable surgeons to identify the best operative techniques for cancer resection. By leveraging GenAI to analyze data, questions that would take years to answer can be resolved quickly.

Imagine if researchers from dozens of academic facilities agreed to pool and share their monitoring and patient data. With this wealth of information, dozens of researchers could access and learn from this data simultaneously. Rather than asking a narrow, specific question and having to find clinical information to answer it, these scientists could take on larger questions and find themselves capable of advancing clinical practice in a fraction of the time.

This approach of pre-loading vast amounts of data and asking the technology to organize and analyze it mirrors how GenAI tools are designed and would be a radical departure from traditional research endeavors.

But before this can happen, physician researchers will need to be trained in new data analysis methods and equipped with interpersonal tools to enhance collaboration and cooperation. These skills, often taught in business schools, can be easily adapted for medical students.

The next era of medicine is upon us, and the call to action is clear. Academic medical centers must not only weave generative AI into their core curricula. They also must teach the next generation of clinicians how to use this technology to radically improve chronic disease management, diagnostic accuracy, clinical research and dozens of other outdated medical processes. With classes scheduled to start this fall, the time to act is now.

CDRH Announces Reorganization of Several Offices to Increase Organizational Agility and Advance Public Health Mission

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2024

The following is attributed to Jeff Shuren, M.D., J.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)

CDRH is pleased to announce new organizational changes to help strengthen and better position the Center to meet our mission to protect and promote the public health. In particular, this new reorganization across offices will increase organizational agility and advance our efforts to meet commitments under the Medical Device User Fee Amendments (MDUFA) V reauthorization, as well as our 2022-2025 Strategic Priorities .

First, CDRH is elevating the Office of Communication and Education (OCE) into a Super Office and creating a new Division of Digital Communication and Marketing. The Super Office designation will allow the Center to assure that information about CDRH programs is accurately and readily shared with our customers, including FDA employees, patients, health care professionals, and regulated industry. The new Super Office will be responsible for delivering clear, meaningful, insights-based communications, education, and disclosures about medical devices and radiation-emitting products.

Key changes:

Office of Communication, Information Disclosure, Training and Education (OCITE)

The new Super Office will be known as the Office of Communication, Information Disclosure, Training and Education (OCITE). The Office will contain two new sub-offices: the Office of Communication and Content Development; and the Office of Training and Education. The reorganization will also create a new Division of Digital Communication and Marketing. This new structure will provide increased organizational flexibility and consistency, and position CDRH to plan for and meet current and future needs more effectively.

In addition, CDRH is making structural changes within the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ) in both the Office of Clinical Evidence and Analysis (OCEA) and the Office of Health Technology 4 (OHT4): Surgical and Infection Control Devices to help improve efficiencies within the offices and better meet the needs of our customers. OCEA provides policy and program support regarding clinical trials, biostatistics, real-world evidence, epidemiological analysis and outreach and collaboration with hospitals and other external stakeholders. OHT4 is responsible for the Total Product Life Cycle (TPLC) review of surgical and infection control medical devices.

Office of Clinical Evidence and Analysis (OCEA)

The Office of Clinical Evidence and Analysis (OCEA), in the Office of Product Evaluation and Quality (OPEQ) will be comprised of five divisions. The Division of Biostatistics will become three new divisions: The Division of Biostatistics I, II, and III (DCEA3, DCEA4, and DCEA5, respectively). The other two Divisions in OCEA are not impacted, other than minor administrative changes. The new structure will better align work and position OCEA and CDRH to meet the growing needs of internal and external stakeholders more effectively while also providing manageable organizational and paths to career growth.

Office of Surgical and Infection Control Devices (OHT4)

The Division of Infection Control and Plastic Surgery Devices will become two new divisions: Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Devices and Division of Infection Control Devices, which will provide focused executive leadership and better meet the needs of our customer communities with divergent technologies and regulatory requirements.

These organizational changes and enhancements will help strengthen CDRH’s ability to serve the American public and ensure our organization is well-positioned to carry out our public health mission and assure continued patient access to high-quality, safe, and effective medical devices.

MUSC Health data show increases in emergency department visits for COVID

Hand holds clear colored tube to drop liquid onto a white COVID test.

New data shows increases in Emergency Department visits for COVID across much of the MUSC Health system over the past week.

In the Charleston area, there’s been a 20% increase in COVID diagnoses in MUSC Health’s adult Emergency Departments.
Emergency Department visits for COVID in the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital rose 36%.
In the Midlands, COVID visits were up 29%.
In the Pee Dee region of MUSC Health, there was a 13% increase.
In the Catawba area, Emergency Department visits at MUSC Health rose 75%.

Michael Sweat, Ph.D., leader of the COVID-19 Epidemiology Project at the Medical University of South Carolina, provided the data – and some context. “The overall number of cases is not huge, but it's the growth rates that get your attention. It suggests a lot of community transmission is happening right now. That’s not surprising. We see it every year.”

Sweat, a professor in MUSC’s College of Medicine, an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a former research scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been crunching COVID numbers since the early days of the pandemic. He’s familiar with the virus’ ebbs and flows.

"I don't know if that has to do with vaccination patterns, some kind of dynamic system of variables, but every year in the summer, we get this wave. I don't know how long it'll last. It could kind of be a steep curve and drop off, or it might kind of chug along. I mean, almost nobody’s mitigating,” he said, referring to COVID precautions.

Sweat encouraged people in high-risk categories to consider mitigation efforts while cases are rising. That includes older people and people with certain health conditions. You can find a comprehensive list on this CDC web page .

The CDC is also reminding people to stay up to date with COVID vaccines, cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands often, clean surfaces frequently and take steps to breathe in cleaner air through open windows and air purifiers and by gathering outdoors.

People who test positive should stay away from others. The public has a prominent example of that right now: President Joe Biden, who tested positive for COVID earlier this week, is self-isolating in Delaware.

But the rules have eased a bit. In March, the CDC released updated recommendations for people with COVID , noting that we now have treatments that can lessen symptoms and reduce the risk of severe illness. “The recommendations suggest returning to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, symptoms are improving overall, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without use of a fever-reducing medication,” the agency stated.

Once people get back to normal activities, the CDC advises them to try to protect others for the next five days, taking measures such as wearing a well-fitting mask.

As for a couple of other COVID considerations, variants and symptoms, Sweat said there also have been some changes. “There's a whole host of new variants, but nothing dramatically crazy,” he said. Read more about so-called FLiRT variants here.

“And there's some hypotheses about symptoms seeming to shift some. There are more people who seem to be having gastrointestinal issues.”

While South Carolina no longer tracks COVID cases, Sweat’s team continues to offer weekly updates that include public health recommendations, graphs showing Emergency Department statistics and more. His advice this week: “It’s probably important to be careful now.”
