Recognition for Contributions

Addressing Medical Education Challenges
Highlighting gaps in medical education, FAIMA officials pointed out that while new colleges are opening across the country, many lack adequate faculty, infrastructure, and basic facilities. Through the FAIMA-RMS survey, over 1,700 students—including more than 150 from Jharkhand—have already shared feedback. Findings from this survey will be submitted to the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the Union Health Ministry to push for reforms in medical education.

Dr. Jaideep, a former President of the Junior Doctors Association (JDA) RIMS and current Vice-President of the IMA Junior Doctors Network (JDN) Jharkhand, has been at the forefront of young doctors’ issues.
Meanwhile, Dr. Abhishek, currently serving as JDA Vice-President, is regarded as one of the most active young leaders in Jharkhand’s medical community.
Leaders of JDN and JDA, including Dr. Sushil Kumar (JDN State Chairman), Dr. Raghvendra Kumar (JDN Secretary), and Dr. Ankit Kumar (JDA President), have congratulated the newly elected office bearers, expressing confidence that they will bring recognition and pride to Jharkhand at the national level.
