In order to help medical students in Uttar Pradesh cope with anger, burnout and depression, the state government will be commencing spirituality classes for the students.
The government of Uttar Pradesh has come up with a solution to help the UG and PG medicos cope with anger, depression and burnout. The Uttar Pradesh - Department of Medical Education (UP DGME) will be introducing spirituality classes for the MBBS and PG medicos in the state.
Students studying MBBS / MD/ MS at medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh often tend to go through depression and anger that affects the doctor-patient relationship. The conflicts between doctors and patients are rising, consequently disturbing the healthy environment of hospitals. A job as important and full of responsibilities as of medicos’ often burns out the students, eventually resulting in a misdemeanour with their patients. To help medicos cope with this problem and maintain a positive and healthy environment in hospitals, the UP government has come up with a creative idea of introducing morality and spirituality classes for the students.
