Building pathways to new avenues

Besides offering the traditionally-practised specialties, the National Board of Examinations in
Medical Sciences has been a staunch protagonist of opening doors to new avenues. It is currently

running postgraduate and postdoctoral programmes in 99 disciplines, and of the many avant-garde
steps taken by it, the proactive measure to initiate six-year combined postgraduate programmes in

sub-specialities is extremely beneficial for the candidates who wish to pursue a specific area in
medical science. Much at the same time, it has exhibited its mind’s eye in bringing such new domains

as medical genetics, sports medicine, paediatric sub-specialties, geriatric medicine, cardiac

electrophysiology, neurovascular intervention, fetal radiology, family medicine, and emergency
medicine into its fold.
