In a move to usher in uniformity in medical Education in the state, theGujaratgovernment is set to introduce in the state assembly the Medical University Of Gujarat bill, which proposes to bring 400-odd medical and allied colleges under one university, which will exclusively oversee the functioning of medical colleges.
The move will bring drastic changes to medical education as it proposes that all MBBS, dental, physiotherapy, ayurveda, homoeopathy and Nursing colleges have common syllabi, academic calendar, examination and most importantly, a uniform pattern of processes and assessment.
If the proposed bill is ratified in the budget session of the Gujarat assembly, students who secure admission in the first year of medical, paramedical, ayurveda, homeopathy and nursing courses in the 2022-23 academic year will be inducted into the new medical university.
The proposed new medical university will follow the same procedure as the Gujarat Technological University (GTU).
