India being a disaster-prone country necessitates us to be able to act proactively for any sort of preparedness and prevention. This necessitates a curriculum which can bring all the aspects related to disaster under one umbrella and thus impart training.
The aim of the study was to assess the responses of students about the importance of disaster management (DM) in their MBBS course, take up suggestions about the important inclusions to be made in their curriculum, and get an insight of the higher education and research of DM domain in the Indian context.
A cross-sectional study with a batch of 100 MBBS students purposively sampled were part of the questionnaire. Besides, a thorough Internet search for institutes providing training on DM was done, and relevant details were noted down. Later on, the students were given guest lectures and demonstrations by certified trainers and experts along with a know-how of where to go for getting a hands-on training and whom to respond to.
Seventy-two percent of the students felt the portion of DM being taught to them to be insufficient, and 95% never got any training or demonstration for DM although 22% felt that it is not so important for them as a doctor. Only 23% of them knew about any sort of DM courses or certifications in India, and almost 16% of the students were confident enough to tackle any incidence of public health emergency.
Making an earlier start will impart seriousness and accountability in the mindset of budding physicians.
印度是一个易受灾国家，这就要求我们能够积极主动地进行各种准备和预防工作。这需要一门课程，将与灾害相关的所有方面整合在一起，从而提供培训。
本研究的目的是评估学生对灾害管理（DM）在其医学学士课程中的重要性的反应，收集关于课程中应纳入的重要内容的建议，并深入了解印度背景下DM领域的高等教育和研究情况。
对100名医学学士学生进行了一项横断面研究，这些学生是有目的地抽样纳入问卷的。此外，还对提供DM培训的机构进行了全面的互联网搜索，并记录了相关细节。随后，由认证培训师和专家为学生进行客座讲座和演示，并告知他们在哪里可以获得实践培训以及向谁咨询。
72%的学生认为他们所学的DM内容不足，95%的学生从未接受过DM培训或演示，尽管22%的学生认为这对他们作为医生来说不那么重要。他们中只有23%的人了解印度的任何DM课程或认证，近16%的学生有足够的信心应对任何公共卫生紧急事件。
尽早开始将在初出茅庐的医生心中灌输严肃性和责任感。
