2 National Network of Medical College Need Diversity in the standard of Quality of Teachers Availability of Educational Tools (slide projectors, projecting microscope, still and moving digital images) Books and Journals Quality and type of patient materials (geographical difference in the incidences of various diseases) Rural, Urban and Semi urban patients Diversity in the quality of students because of entry and exit parameters 2

3 Introduction Networking of medical colleges can bridge distance between Student & Teacher Quality of Postgraduate education in Indian Medical colleges needs improvement Tertiary academic medical centers can provide additional inputs through networking 3

4 Objectives 1 Improving quality of medical / paramedical education and meeting the educational needs of the students despite paucity of teachers Facilitating cognitive component of learning by providing interactive teaching material online developed by a group of competent teachers at undergraduate, postgraduate and super-specialty levels To promote psychomotor skill development through tele-mentoring 4

5 Objectives 2 To link Medical Libraries with adequate stock of books and journals for access to all thereby reducing state expenditure on medical college libraries (Digital Library Network) To promote medical research by providing infrastructure for quick exchange of ideas and co-ordination with group of researchers involved in collaborative multicentre studies and facilitating current information access through digital library network Online Continuing Medical Education (e CME) to enhance knowledge and teaching skill and possible Accreditation of Medical Teachers and Health Care Professionals 5

6 Objectives 3 Implementing uniform examination pattern and evaluation. Coaching students with online and offline in MCQs Enhancing computer literacy among medical students and teachers Facilitating ehealth Governance Sharing of resources and establishing effective communication between the medical colleges and its faculty Providing educational material & tools to medical teachers Improving quality and reducing the cost of health care delivery by tele-consultation and tele-follow up 6

7 Road Map 1 Identification of a National Telemedicine Resource Center which will be connected with high speed fiber network with few selected apex medical institutions which in turn will be networked with medical colleges in the region Identification of few apex medical academic institutions region wise (Regional Telemedicine Resource Center) and networking each with medical colleges in the region covering few states. MPLS-VPN Network backbone to provide bandwidth 10 Mbps to start with (ultimately 1G) at Regional & 2 Mbps at medical college telemedicine nodes. Each medical college telemedicine node to be linked with district hospitals in their perimeter. 7

8 Road Map 2 One lecture theatre of each medical college will be converted to digital integrated medical lecture theater providing necessary infra structure. Each resource center will have facility for multimedia education content development. All the medical education knowledge content will be stored in the central repository located at the data center of national resource center with a backup facility at disaster site. 8

9 Expected Outcome 1 The network will support multimedia data exchange, multi-point video conference, both in interactive and video broadcast mode. Central Repository of Medical Education Content will do live transmission of the content on day to day basis. 9

10 Expected Outcome 2 Entire network will provide a platform for interactive distance learning and adaptive environment for medical students, teachers and health care professionals. It will also support digital library network. Ultimately Virtual Medical University can be established at National Level. 10
