Uniform Learning Resource

As reported earlier, ANBAI had partnered with National Board of Examinations to work on a Uniform Learning Resource. Realising the importance of quality scientific resources (journals/ books etc.) in higher education in healthcare, ANBAI is trying to explore and facilitate a system, which will enable the end users and their institutions access a quality and standard content at a substantially economic price. A survey has been designed by Wiley and being distributed through ANBAI to get details of current use, requirements and expenditure of 25 pilot institutions. Results of the survey shall be analyzed to take it further.

Dissolution & Reconstitution of Society

Efforts being on to register the new ANBAI Society in New Delhi got a setback as the registrar of the societies objected to the use of the word 'National' in the name of the association. This seems to be resolved and permission is expected soon. However in view of the proposed National Medical Commission, it was decided to go slow on the same.
