Assessment and Rating of AYUSH institutes
Abstract
Recently launched flagship efforts by world health organization are towards making these traditional systems to reach global recognition through promoting Indian medicine, training in doctors and standardization. Thus doctors of ISM are going to treat global community under medical value travel, Heal in India and Heal by India initiatives. Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the digital healthcare ecosystem promoted by Indian government is a step to augment integration in healthcare facilities and healthcare services. These all efforts mandate an urgent need to upgrade ISM medical education and up skilling of medical professionals at global standards are indispensable to fulfilling the current and future global requirements. This further, necessitates an improvement in the standards of ISM medical institutions to provide suitable academic environment for teaching, learning, training and research. Thus under the direction of NITI Ayog, quality council of India (QCI) was empanelled to develop robust framework to assess and rate educational institutes. This was based upon the criteria designed by the global rating bodies like World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) a recognized body by World Health Organization (WHO). After a Pilot verification, further refinement and approval NCISM has introduced a comprehensive rating plan of institutions from 2024-2025 academic sessions under the provisions of the NCISM Act, 2020. This act empowers Medical Assessment and Rating Board for Indian System of Medicine (MARB-ISM) to conduct inspections of medical institutions for assessing and rating such institutions in accordance with the regulations. Under this, only those colleges accredited by Board of Ayurveda (BoA) and Board of Unani, Siddha and Sowa-Rigpa (BUSS) fulfilling/maintaining the minimum essential standards as mentioned in the concerned regulations (MESAR) are only eligible for rating. Unlike the accreditation which is based on Minimum Essential Standards, MARB-ISM rating is based upon Minimum Standards of Education (MSE) and Competency Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC).
