Overview
DNB
Radio Diagnosis: Diplomate of National Board (DNB) is a medical qualification
awarded by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). The DNB course is approved
by the Government of India and is considered equivalent to the postgraduate and
post-doctoral programs offered by the Medical Colleges, institute &
hospital in India. Duration of both MD & DNB courses is 3 years, run in
both government and private set up with the similar quality standard of the
host institute, similar academic activities, compulsory thesis work of 1-year
duration under a qualified thesis guide with external review process (exposure
to research methodology), and academic activities (library and journal
facility, presentation in national and international conferences, research
article publication, training program, workshop, and CME). Clinical activity in
both the courses is similar to emergency case handling, surgical exposure,
clinical case discussion, case exposure, availability of equipment and
diagnostic tool, patient load to be handled, duty hour, night duty, leave
entitled including maternity leave and other facilities. DNB exit examination
is an unbiased, extremely tough evaluation process both in theory and practical
(conducted in the different centers without the presence of internal examiner).
Passing theory examination is an essential criterion to appear in practical
examination.
