Meeting between colleges and parents, Mentor-Mentee Programme: Here’s what NMC guidelines suggest to Stop Ragging

Amidst the concerns regarding the mental health of medical students and the reported instances of ragging and harassment of new students by their seniors, the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of the National Medical Commission (NMC) has specified certain efforts to create a healthy environment at the institutes. The measures recommended by the UG Board of NMC include arranging a meeting between the college and parents/wards of all students and carrying out mentor-mentee programmes at the medical colleges.

These recommendations have been added by the UGMEB of the Apex Medical Commission in the recently released Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) 2024 Curriculum.
