Annexure - 2
Central Sector Scheme for supporting Re-orientation
Training, Continuing Medical Education and Exposure programs
of AYUSH.
Introduction:
AYUSH teachers and practitioners do not have access to
professional journals and web-based CME unlike their
allopathic counterparts. There is an urgent need for
re-orienting and upgrading their professional competence &
skills. Emerging trends of health care and scientific
outcomes necessitate time to time enhancement of
professional knowledge of teachers, practitioners and
researchers. Many issues of the profession can not be
covered through stereotyped course curricula and need
augmentation & clarification through direct interaction with
the resource persons and domain experts. Good Clinical
Practices and Good Teaching Practices are the two areas
where AYUSH practitioners and teachers need to be regularly
updated to keep up the standards of health delivery and
adequate training of students respectively in accordance
with the emerging demands. Similarly, use of Information
Technology as a tool for widespread dissemination of AYUSH
developments & updates is need of the hour in the present
era of fast changing trends & methodologies. Web-based
educational programs like the ones conducted by UGC are
required for AYUSH for wider dissemination of current
information & trends. The services of AYUSH paramedics and
health workers are also of utmost importance in health care.
Hence, the re-orientation of these personnel with updates
and changing trends is also proposed in XI Plan.
Given the growing domestic and international acceptance of
AYUSH knowledge systems and their clinical applications, it
is essential to upgrade the quality of AYUSH teaching and
practice. In this context therefore re-orientation training
and continued medical education become quite relevant. With
this objective it is intended in the 11th Plan to support
programmes of professional-skill development of AYUSH
personnel in an organized manner at reputed institutions and
field levels. The scheme of assistance is switched over from
centrally sponsored to central sector enabling release of
funds directly to the grantee institutions. The scheme has
been restructured giving flexibility for its implementation
and adding new components. The proposed pattern of the
scheme is based on the experience gained during 9th & 10th
Plans, feedback received from various institutions and
requirements for varied nature of training of AYUSH
personnel and their exposure to AYUSH centres of excellence.
Overall structure of the scheme is aimed at encouraging
AYUSH personnel to undergo need-based professional
orientation and bridge the knowledge gaps.
