Uttar Pradesh: The well known Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College under the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has achieved a boost in super speciality section recently as the Medical Council of India (MCI) has sanctioned two seats of DM cardiology to the institute.
Previously the Medical Council of India had inspected the medical college and has now sanctioned two seats for DM cardiology. After the MCH course in plastic surgery, this is going to be the 2nd speciality course offered by JN Medical College.
Only after months of the establishment of the department of cardiology, the department improved significantly and has now secured the permission of MCI to run a specialty course. This step will help the institute to provide more trained cardiologists, especially at a time when the demands for Interventional Cardiologists all over the country have hiked.
