  19. Points for discussion • Do we need to introduce certificate courses for skills and knowledge lower than the levels expected in current nursing, paramedical diploma and degree courses. • -Is there a market for such courses; • -If yes, what are these courses; what should be the content and duration of such courses; • -What should be the eligibility conditions for such courses • For selection of students • For selection of institutions to impart training • Is there a possibility to give credit points and eligibility/weightage for diploma/degree/post-graduate programmes to incentivize acquisition of higher qualifications? • Would regulation come in the way of such a measure? • Would introduction of such courses lead to dilution at basic levels of education? • How do we link these courses to NSQF? • What should be the mechanism to evaluate learning?

  20. Do we need to introduce certificate courses for specialized skills and knowledge higher than the levels expected in current paramedical diploma and degree courses. • What should be these courses in nursing and in paramedical fields? • Do we need to introduce certificate courses for cross-functional skills-(nurses to get trained in operation of CT scan etc or paramedics to be trained in nursing, for example) to help Health establishments to optimally utilize available human resources? • If focus is more on skill than acquisition of knowledge, should hospitals meeting certain standards be empowered to run such courses? • What is the mechanism for evaluation of quality of training imparted in such courses? • what should be the framework for implementation and monitoring of these courses. • Strengthening hands on training • Should internship, a part of diploma and degree courses at present be done way with and replaced by apprenticeship, encouraging private establishments to pay a stipend to the apprentices engaged with them ?
