Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The need for medical education and infrastructure is ever increasing;
hence, it is necessary to prepare for medical education and clinical practice
for the coming future. There is a dearth of medical education in India,
which is already very expensive.
Policies framed by the National Medical Commission (NMC) dealing
with the infrastructure required for medical education were studied and
reviewed. Implementation of modern technology in medical education
and its economic implications were studied by referring to seminal
documents. Institutions like Harvard and Oxford have already started
using these technologies in their medical curriculum. Analysis of all the
data led to an understanding of how there can be reduction in cost of
infrastructure and maintenance. Interviews with experts suggested that
using the latest technology in the medical curriculum would also help
in this. It has also been found that by adopting the latest technology
like AR and VR and allowing for flexibility of spaces, the infrastructure
requirements of medical institutes can contribute towards the reduction.
After comparing the areas with the existing spaces, it has been found
that their restructuring can result in a 35-40% reduction in the overall
infrastructure of the medical institute. This will eventually result in more
medical colleges in India and in reducing fees per student for MBBS
students as well as medical expenses for common people.
