SKS Post Graduate Medical Institute
Diplomate of National Board (DNB)
Diplomate of National Board (DNB) programs are postgraduate medical qualifications that are equivalent to the degrees awarded by universities in various specialties. These programs are available in a wide range of medical disciplines, such as General Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Anesthesiology, Radiology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, and many more. The DNB programs combine rigorous training and education with hands-on clinical experience in accredited hospitals and healthcare institutions.
The courses offered by the NBE are designed to provide advanced knowledge and skills in specific medical specialties. The duration of these courses varies depending on the specialty and can range from two to three years. The curriculum includes both theoretical and practical components, encompassing classroom lectures, clinical rotations, research work, and assessments.
To enroll in a DNB program, candidates typically need to meet certain eligibility criteria, such as completing their undergraduate medical degree (MBBS) and completing a one-year rotating internship. The selection process involves qualifying in a national-level entrance examination conducted by the NBE, followed by a counseling process for seat allocation.
The NBE also offers postdoctoral fellowships in various subspecialties for doctors who have already completed their postgraduate qualifications. These fellowships provide further specialization and research opportunities in specific medical fields.
It’s important to note that the specific details of the courses, eligibility criteria, and application process may vary depending on the specialization and the policies of the NBE. Therefore, it’s recommended to refer to the official website of the National Board of Education or contact them directly for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the courses they offer.
