【 摘 要 】

For optimum Peripheral Health Service and implementation of various Vertical Public Health Programme Services, network of public Rural and Urban Health Centers with trained Specialists in General Practice (GP) is essential. Later such Specialist GPs will thus fulfill both comprehensive training and experience required for Health Management and Planning Service in the centre.  About 40%-50% of all Residential Trainings and Specialists are required in GP. There are further up to 100 to 150 possible specialties in which remaining doctors can be trained for Specialty Health Services. Though free Residential Training has numerous advantages, its shortage inside country is the bottleneck to provide above mentioned Health Services. Planning for health service delivery by at least trainee residents under supervision or appropriately trained specialists guides Residential Training’s regulations. Fulfillment of objective training criteria as its core focus is the concept now with the major role of Faculty as supervising residents to provide required service in the specialty and simultaneously updating themselves and their team for Evidence-Based Medicine practice. Similarly the need of Ambulatory Health Service and joint management of in-patients by specialists in hospitals has changed unit and bed divisions and requirements for Residential Training. Residents, already the licensed doctors, are thus providing required hospital service as indispensable part of its functional hierarchy for which they need to be paid. With such changing concepts and trends, there are some essential points in existing situation to facilitate free Residential Training inside country. For Government doctors, relevant amendment in their regulation is accordingly required.
