The National Medical Commission (NMC) has approved three seats each for DM in Cardiology and DM in Critical Care Medicine at the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS) at Swami Rama Himalayan University (SRHU). The principal of SRHU Ashok Deorari stated that the NMC team sought a report on the available facilities at the college and hospital. Based on the report, the NMC has approved three seats each for DM in Cardiology and DM in Critical Care Medicine in the PG (MD) course. Additionally, permission has been granted to increase four seats in MD in Anesthesiology. Deorari emphasised the importance of critical service in any hospital and highlighted the shortage of specialists in critical and super specialty healthcare across the country. He said that with the NMC’s approval, the total PG seats at HIMS have now increased from 123 to 127, and the super specialty course seats have increased from 12 to 18. The Medical Assessment and Rating Board had set stringent standards, including department-specific clinical materials, compliance reports, availability of blood components, functional essential equipment, number of units, number of beds in the department and faculty numbers, he said. Students can gain admission to these seats only after NEET-PG centralised counselling, Deorari added.
