Developing psychosocial support for medical students

By Gairola Parul S

Today, we are living in the era of knowledge explosion where availability of healthy and knowledgeable human resources have become the most crucial factor for

development of any society. So much so that health and education have become global priorities including in India.

When we talk about education, we cannot ignore to think about students, as ultimately,

they are going to uplift our country's economy and development of various important sectors. As far as medical education is concerned recently India aces the number of medical colleges (government and private) among all developing countries (1). Our scenario of medical education is such that immediately after class 12th education students can enter medical education after qualifying entrance exam. Thus, after entering into the professional education students get exposed to sudden increase in difficulty of academics. Moreover, as they proceed in their course, they have to bear the pressure of academic as well as clinical exercises. Indeed medical, dental and para medical educations are pretty intense and demanding throughout the training. The training imparted in our medical colleges apart from basic medical subjects, our students are required to be equally apprised with competence in clinical skills, communication skills, problem solving skills, stress coping skills, performing moral ethical, legal responsibilities which are highly needed for them.
