All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi
AIIMS Main Hospital is located at Ansari Nagar, in front
of Safdarjung Hospital at the crossing of Ring Road and
Aurobindo Marg. Main entrance is on Aurobindo Marg.
All-India Institute of Medical Sciences was established
as an institution of national importance by an Act of
Parliament with the objects to develop patterns of teaching
in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education
in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard
of Medical Education in India; to bring together in
one place educational facilities of the highest order
for the training of personnel in all important branches
of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in
Post-graduate Medical Education.
The Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching,
research and patient-care. As provided in the Act, AIIMS
conducts teaching programs in medical and para-medical
courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels
and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are
conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical
research AIIMS is the lead, having more than 600 research
publications by its faculty and researchers in a year.
AIIMS also runs a College of Nursing and trains students
for B.Sc.(Hons.) (nursing post-certificate) degrees.
Twenty-five clinical departments including four super
specialty centers manage practically all types of disease
conditions with support from pre- and Para-clinical departments.
However, burn cases, dog-bite cases and patients suffering
from infectious diseases are not entertained in the AIIMS
Hospital. AIIMS also manages a 60-beded hospital in the
Comprehensive Rural Health Centre at Ballabgarh in Haryana
and provides health cover to about 2.5 lakh population
through the Centre for Community Medicine.

Undergraduate Courses

50
students are admitted each year to the MBBS course of
AIIMS. Our MBBS students are a carefully selected
group of remarkably able and intelligent students committed
to a high sustained hard work is the norm.
What they need is only a little guidance along the path
to knowledge. All efforts are made to keep their
initiative and curiosity alive by making them active participants
in the teaching-learning process. They also
have an opportunity to stretch their minds with research
during their vacations. The faculty is willing and
eager to provide vent to the wealth of ideas and energy
available with this endless stream of extremely
curious and committed. Young people, however, since they
skills for the being are trained for practicing
medicine, it is ensured that they do acquire the purpose.
Further, the science and craft of medicine
should be accompanied by a humane approach to illness.
To inculcate the necessary empathy in students,
curriculum extends beyond medicine, and encroaches on
science and psychology. In short, undergraduate
medical education is a blend of several streams of competing,
and sometimes conflicting, endeavors.
Institute try and make the blend as harmonious as it wishes
to produce competent and caring doctors
while at the same time stimulating the creative abilities
of students. It is not surprising that AIIMS was
judged the best medical in India in the INDIA TODAY-ORG-MARG
poll conducted in 1997.
B.Sc.(Hons.)
Human Biology :
AIIMS
is the only institution in the country running a B Sc
(Hons) course in Human Biology. This course is aimed
at producing group highly proficient young scientists
well-versed in basic medical and modern biological
techniques. Some of these graduates may eventually fill
teaching positions in medical schools in the
basic medical sciences. In addition, they are also expected
to be tomorrow's leaders in research, especially
in emerging fields like biotechnology and molecular biology.
B.Sc.
Courses in Nursing, Audiometry, Ophthalmic, Techniques
and Radiography :
These
undergraduate courses are designed to produce well quailed
personnel without whom no health care team
can be complete.
Postgraduate
Courses
MD,
MS & MDS :
All
postgraduate students in AIIMS are potential teachers
and research workers. Hence during their stay at the
Institute, they not only acquire competence in a branch
of medicine or surgery, but they also savor the romance
of teaching and research. The small pieces of research
which postgraduate students complete are treated
as guided introduction to the painfully slow and tedious
process of discovery. AIIMS is also one of the
pioneers in initiating an in-service training programme
for postgraduate students. Residents, while providing
patient care, also get formal training and education towards
their degrees. At present the Institute
awards postgraduate degrees in 55 different specialties.
DM & MCh :
AIIMS
also offers super specialty courses in a large number
of medical and surgical disciplines (DM and MCh
respectively such as):
Cardiology
Gastroenterology
Cardiothoracic
Surgery Endocrinology
Neurology
Nephrology
Neurosurgery
Nedical oncology
Pediatric
Surgery
Master's
degree in science (M. Sc)
Master's degree in Biotechnology (M. Biotech) :
This
two year course was started in 1986. This new venture
in an emerging discipline has been designed to produce
a cadre of scientists required for highly specialized
areas such as vaccine production.
Doctor of Philosophy
Ph
D students conduct an extensive piece of research of high
quality on which they may take upto 5 years. While
in MD/MS and M Sc/M Biotech courses the emphasis is on
breadth, in Ph D the emphasis is on depth. The
students delve deep into a narrow area to which they may
stick for a lifetime.
