Introduction

The specialty of anaesthesiology has been marked by unprecedented growth and change in various methods of rendering the patients insensitive to pain. Monitoring and maintaining vital organ functions during surgery remains the main professional activity of the anaesthesiologist. The practice of anaesthesiology continues to grow as evidenced in the development of subspecialties like pain management, critical care and preoperative medicine.

Department of anaesthesiology of Dr R.P.G.M.C was setup in 1997 at Dharamshala with two faculty members under the  leadership of Dr R.S. Thakur. In December 2007 department was shifted to Dr RPGMC campus at Tanda. The department is currently running under the leadership of Dr Jai Singh.

Over the years , along with development of medical sciences , the department has set its own high standards in patient care, education and research. All surgical and super specialties are anchored to this specialty.

The department has an annual intake of 13 junior residents  pursuing their MD Degrees . All post graduates are posted in routine OTs, ICU, PAC and pain clinics in rotation.In addition, BSC Paraclinical Courses  in anesthesia are also being run with  an annual intake of  6 students which has been increased to 18  from 2022 onwards.

Conferences, workshops and CMEs are organized and attended by the department regularly.

Vision

To improve health care delivery, hospital improvement, academic improvement. The following core values are imbibed in each health care provider:

  • Excellence and discovery (BE THE BEST).
  • Leadership and integrity (BE A ROLE MODEL).
  • Respect and collegiality (BE KIND).
  • Compassion and commitment towards patients, community and colleagues.

To ensure academic improvement ,transitional blocks need to be ensured :

High costs
Slow results
Lack of funding
Regulatory burden
Fragmented infrastructure
Incompatible database 

Gap between best evidence based practice and what actually happens is substantial and needs to be reduced.
For all these improvements/requirements, action plan is necessary.
