Medical education, Health sector, Faculty development programAbstract
Abundance of universities and health colleges in India has ensured a vast increase in teachers in health sector. But the increased quantity does not mean increased quality. Although recent advances have been incorporated in health sector textbooks, newer methods of training the teacher have been lagging behind. Of late reforms in this arena promise a silver lining to the cloud. This article takes a stroll of the current Indian efforts to train the teachers in health sector education, so that we can meet the quality as well as quantity of such faculty, which is truly the need of the hour.
