DNB Programmes

Overview

Diplomate of National Board (DNB) Training Programme

The DNB programme was initiated at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in 2017, two years after the inauguration of the new hospital.

The National Board of Examinations (NBE) is an educational body that oversees postgraduate medical teaching programmes in India. Its goal is to create a unified teaching programme distinct from the various state-restricted medical boards.

The NBE offers postgraduate programmes in both Broad Specialities and Super-specialities, and our hospital provides a combination of these across various faculties. Students from all over the country apply for these programmes after qualifying through a common National Eligibility-cum- Entrance test (NEET) annual examination. Based on their rankings, students opt for various institutes. We aim to attract high-ranking students to our institute with our robust teaching programme, competitive stipends, and other facilities.

Students are valuable resources, representing potential future scientists, researchers, and contributors to the hospital. They typically spend a significant amount of time receiving structured education and training aligned with our institute's values. As such, they become strong candidates to join our system, supporting the growth and development of our departments and strengthening the hospital’s clinical and academic pillars.

Our hospital is accredited and recognized for the following NBE courses:

  • 2-3-year Broad specialty courses: General Medicine, Paediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Radiology, General Surgery, Gynaecology, Obstetrics, Orthopaedics, Pathology, Microbiology, Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology and Anaesthesia.
  • 3-year Super specialty courses: Gastroenterology, Neurology, Cardiology, Critical Care, Oncosurgery, Urology, Endocrinology, Hepato-Oncology and Nephrology.
