Residency Training Programme

Result
The residency training programme is one of the most sought after and admissions are made on the basis of existing regulations laid down by the state government of Maharashtra and the Mumbai municipal corporation. The postgraduate students for M.S. programme are posted in King Edward Memorial Hospital and Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity Hospital on merit. The residency begins with an exhaustive orientation in the first year covering aspects of residency, medical, ethical and medicolegal aspects of training and patient care. The postgraduate training program is exhaustive. It includes didactic lectures which cover the entire syllabus in each unit over three years, small group teaching, maternal mortality audits, perinatal mortality audits, journal clubs, seminars, symposia, case discussions, and quiz programs. Training on operative techniques is both extensive and intensive.  Special training of the first year residents with refresher sessions for other doctors includes comprehensive care of all medicolegal cases including survivors of sexual assault. Sessions by lactation consultants on ‘training in lactation’are regularly conducted.

This department has a very comprehensive residency training program. It is both mentally challenging and physically taxing. Resident doctors are expected to awake at the crack of dawn and see patients before the treating physicians arrive. The residency years can be gruelling, as it requires that residents take call and spend the entire day and night in the hospital to care for sick patients. Each year the resident is allowed increasing responsibility and to attempt more difficult procedures and surgeries. The training is both extensive and intensive and also, becoming a skilled surgeon takes practice. Patients coming to KEM Hospital are usually the sickest patients in and around Mumbai. Residency is both very difficult and very rewarding. The resident has to spend countless hours caring for sometimes hostile and violent patients, dying patients, counselling parents if their baby has no heart beat, as well getting the joy of bringing babies into this world and saving lives of many babies and their mothers. A young doctor who chooses a career in obstetrics and gynaecology should have a passion for the specialty, since the hours during training are painfully long. During the residency years, the M.S. resident has also to submit a Dissertation which is made after detailed research and review into the topic undertaken under his/her Guide. This is a demanding process.
The academic session for residents also includes preparing and presenting seminars, teaching the medical school students, taking part in various workshops and conferences and also publishing one’s research work. The resident is held accountable for the way he/she manages a patient in the regularly held maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity audits in the department.’
