Post Graduate Diploma in Maternal and Child Health
The programme is meant for the MBBS doctors who have Completed their compulsory rotating internship before the beginning of the respective academic session. It is a one year comprehensive package comprising of Reproductive Health, Child Health and Public Health components of MCH. Though the present approach is to integrate all the above three components together, there have been no practical steps in this regard. The School of Health Sciences, IGNOU has taken a pioneer step in designing a curriculum by integrating the above essential components of MCH Care and providing a PG Diploma in the form of continuing medical education so that not only the doctors, both in private and government sector get an opportunity to update their knowledge and skill, but also the MCH care in the country including that of the peripheral health institutions gets improved. This will ultimately take the MCH Care to the doorsteps of the people and health in achieving one component of the “Health for All” dream of the government of India .

A student should have completed compulsory internship before January 1 st of the respective academic session. Number of Seats : 30 per Programme Study Centre. Implementation The hands-on-training is offered involving a three-tier system i.e. demonstrations and discussions at Medical colleges called Programme Study Centre (PSC), supervisory practice at district level /secondary level hospitals called Skill Development Centres (SDC) and self activity at own Work Place (WP) with maintenance of records. To ensure quality training, a three tier monitoring system is operational i.e. the core faculty at head quarter level, Regional Health sciences Advisory Committee (RHSAC) at state level and Regional Consultants at SDC level. The hands-on-training of all students are recorded in logbooks and verified by concerned Counsellors. The practical training is planned to utilize the time of students and the counselors (teachers) optimally. More emphasis is given for self-learning. Accordingly, the students are posted to medical colleges (PSC) for 4 spells of 7 days each. In the PSC, they are posted to different counselors in a group of 5 each. They get posted to OPD, Ward, OT, Emergency, Labour room, neonatology etc. The district hospital posting is flexible and adjusted as per mutual convenience of the student and the counselor.

Audio-Video 7 Videos and 1 audio are available with EMPC. However, it is aimed at providing about 20 video and 5 audio by the end of 2003. It is also planned to develop multimedia package on the practical components of the programme. Evaluation The evaluation system includes continuous and term-end assessment..
