Fresh medical graduates must be equipped to tackle crisis situations in communicable diseases. The only way to ensure that students pay attention is to give it sizable weightage in terms of marks,” said Dr Oak. For postgraduates,fresh postings will be reserved for infectious disease management in all BMC hospitals.”Currently we have MD students posted at the Preventive Social Medicine department. But now we plan to prepare doctors for emergencies in infectious disease management.”
