Value of exposure: External postings of plastic surgery trainees in India
Journal Title: Journal of Surgical Dermatology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The medical education system in India is not perfect and recent developments have again raised questions about the working and conduct of the Medical Council of India. There are loud calls for standardization and, in the midst of this chaos, there are always people who strive for excellence, who try to absorb knowledge at every opportunity and who can burst onto the mega screen anytime. Our aim should be to provide them with the congenial environment in which they can flourish.
