The AIIMS administration has decided to introduce a startup policy to promote entrepreneurship among medical students.
According to sources, collaborations are being planned with institutions like the IITs, IIMs, and the Indian School of Business (ISB) and with corporations like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain to provide students with exposure to the world of management.
This initiative would help medical students gain knowledge of fields other than medical education, patient care, and research. “Apart from treatment, students should have basic knowledge of other fields like management and finances too. This will help them in their career growth,” said a senior faculty member. If they want to start a clinic or a nursing home or any other business venture, they would not have to struggle with the basic requirements needed to start the venture.
