QUANTITATIVE vs QUALITATIVE

Hello guys
After spending few days in India and in some of the south east Asian Countries, I came to know that, many of new teaching medical institutions are being established or going to be established soon in the coming few years. I do feel that there is real need of medical expertise as population is growing and the affordability of the public towards medical expenses is also increased.But you know, many of them are so commercial that, the medical graduation seats or the speciality courses are offered purely for money, and no validity for the merit. You know how much a student struggles to get into a medical seat in US and also to get into a speaciality course which is ever more tough.Finally this is harmful for our society as you get degrees without proper knowledge and proper clinical training. That's what is happening in India and in some of the near by countries. Hope, now we have a reason why the western doctors feel why our standards are low and also why we have to follow somebody else guidelines, inspite of having enormous clinical material and enough platform for medical research. Nobody objects progression provided if it is well organized and well standardized. So the quality not the quantity that matters.
What do you say.

If There is a Will , There is a Way

When I recall Guru sir saying " Even cleaveland clinic started with four people..." I got surmised.
Yeah !! the beginning is rather small for all great institutes. But the dedication and commitment shown by the founders are fathomless.

Here are the brief histories of a few great medical centers...

The Johns Hopkins University was founded on January 22, 1876 by educational pioneers who abandoned the traditional roles of the American college and forged a new era of modern research universities by focusing on the expansion of knowledge, graduate education, and support of faculty research. Its motto in Latin is Veritas vos liberabit."The truth will set you free....."In 1873 Johns Hopkins, a childless bachelor, bequeathed $7 million to fund a hospital and university in Baltimore, Maryland.The university's first president was Daniel Coit Gilman.

The Mayo clinic started as a single, small outpatient facility, and later became America's first integrated group practice, a model that is now standard in the United States.Mayo Clinic evolved from the frontier practice of Dr. William Worrall Mayo (1819–1911) and his two sons, William James Mayo (1861–1939) & Charles Horace Mayo (1865–1939). Dr. William Worrall Mayo emigrated from Salford, United Kingdom, to the United States in 1846 and became a doctor.

The Cleveland Clinic was founded in February 1921 by four renowned Cleveland physicians. Three of the founders, George Washington Crile, Frank Bunts, and William Lower, were surgeons who had worked together in an army medical unit in France during World War I.Upon their return to the United States, they desired to establish a group practice and invited an internist, John Phillips, to join in their endeavor. The concept of group practice in medicine was relatively new at the time. Only the Mayo Clinic and military units were known to follow this model. The founders established the Clinic with the vision: “Better care of the sick, investigation of their problems, and further education of those who serve.”


And needless to say...... The list is endless........
