DNB in Anaesthesiology at Medipulse Hospital

An NBEMS-recognised, hospital-based postgraduate training program combining structured academics with hands-on exposure across operation theatres, critical care and pain management — mentored by senior consultants in Jodhpur.

Particulars

  • Hospital-based training, closely mentored

    The Diplomate of National Board (DNB) in Anesthesiology is a postgraduate qualification recognised by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), equivalent to an MD in Anesthesiology for all academic and professional purposes in India.

    Medipulse Hospital, Jodhpur runs an active, accredited DNB training program in Anesthesiology, offering residents direct, hands-on involvement in operation theatre anesthesia, critical care, obstetric anesthesia, and pain management under the close supervision of senior consultants.

    Being based within a working multi-specialty hospital rather than a purely academic institute, residents are exposed to real, varied case-loads from day one — an approach that emphasises clinical decision-making, bedside skills, and structured documentation (log books, case discussions, and thesis work) required for the DNB exit examination.
