DIRECTORATE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION AND ACADEMICS DNB PROGRAMME

The DNB programs at Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences Ltd. (Aster MIMS) began in 2003 with specialties in ENT and General Medicine. Initially, these programs were part of the MIMS Academy courses. In July 2017, a dedicated Directorate of Medical Education and Academics was established to exclusively manage DNB and other doctoral courses.

Today, Aster MIMS is accredited for 25 specialties, including 11 broad specialties, 12 super specialties, and 2 fellowship courses by the National Board of Examinations. Each year, the hospital can admit 65 residents (Post MBBS/Post Diploma/Post MD/MS/DNB) across various categories, and to date, 336 doctors have successfully completed their courses here.

In addition to the DNB programs, Aster MIMS offers other doctoral courses such as IDCCM (under the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine) with 4 seats, and FHNO (under the Foundation of Head and Neck Oncology) with one seat. The academic infrastructure includes a modern library and comprehensive facilities for teaching and learning, open every day. Dedicated administrative staff provide robust support to doctors for all course-related administrative tasks.
