Preface
The National Board of Examination was established in 1975 with the primary objective of
improving the quality of the Medical Education by elevating the level and establishing standards
of post graduate examinations in modern medicine on all India basis. There are more than 450
N.B.E accredited institutions/ Hospitals , imparting DNB training programmes in 28 Broad
specialties and 16 super specialties. Besides, there are Post-doctoral fellowship programmes in
14 specialties and Post-graduate dental programmes in 9 specialties. In order to have
standardized and quality training in all the accredited hospitals, National Board of Examinations
has a well structured curriculum. The curriculum is being revised periodically to incorporate
newer topics and introduce more innovative training methods. The present curriculum has been
revised by National Board of Examinations’ experts and has details of the training objectives,
schedule, methods, technical contents. There are lists of skills in various procedures/ surgical
techniques which a DNB candidate must acquire during the training, reference and text books
as well as the journals in the speciality. The curriculum also gives sample theory questions and
common cases for practical skill assessment during training every six months in the form of
concurrent assessment. The guidelines for thesis and maintenance of log book to record day to
day activities carried out by the candidates are also given.
It is expected that the revised curriculum will be useful to the DNB consultants in
organizing the DNB training programmes in their respective hospitals. The DNB candidates will
also benefit from this document.

! To research and find solutions to newer challenges in health care.
Objectives to be achieved by an individual at the end of 3 years of DNB training
The objectives to be fulfilled at the completion of the course are as follows:
Knowledge
! Describe, identify and monitor normal patterns of growth and development of children
and adolescents.
! Describe etio-pathogenesis, principles of clinical diagnosis, investigations and treatment
of disease of childhood and adolesence.
! Demonstrate an understanding of Basic (Pre and Para clinical) Science and its
application to the normal and abnormal processes.
! Analyze clinical and investigation data approach and manage a health related problem.
! Identify and understand socio-economic environmental –cultural factors in healthcare.
! Recognize problem outside his or her abilities and appropriately refer.
! Update one’s knowledge and skills by self directed learning and by participating in
continued medical education program utilizing media-spoken, written and electronic.
Teach and share knowledge and skills with colleagues.
! Audit and analyze work, assist in research and publish scientific articles in peerreviewed
journal.
! Acquire knowledge about Basic Research Methodology
Skills
! Elicit appropriate clinical history
! Demonstrate appropriate clinical and physical examination skills on children.
! Plan & decide upon and interpret appropriate cost effective investigation.
! Perform, resuscitate and stabilize children in Pediatric or Neonatal emergencies.
! Learn procedures directed both towards therapeutic and diagnostic purposes e.g., bone
marrow, lumbar puncture etc.

5
Communication and Attitudes
! Communicate appropriately with guardians and children, assisting in their health care
decision making.
! Practice child health care at the highest ethical level, protecting the child at all costs.
! Respect patients (and their guardians rights and professional relationships) (Doctor-
Doctor-Nurse, Doctor Patient, Doctor-Society).
! Apply the highest level of ethics in research, publication, references and practice of
pediatrics
Tentative Schedule for three years of DNB Training
Clinical postings
Acquisition of practical competence is the keystone of postgraduate medical education. A
candidate has to look after the hospitalized inpatient in the hospital everyday besides
different training and teaching activities mentioned later.
Learning in postgraduate program should be essentially self directed and emanating from
clinical and academic work. A postgraduate student during a period of three years for his
training should be posted in neonatology for a period of at least 6-9 months and training in
social pediatrics preferably for a period of 3 months in a primary /community health center.
Methods of training and teaching
In addition to regular bed side teaching, a typical week for postgraduate could be as
follows:
Weekday Activity
Mon Seminar 3 days in a month: interdepartmental meeting once a month
Tue: grand rounds, records rounds
Wed: Bedside clinic/case presentation
Thur: Mortality meeting once in a month: Clinico-pathological Conference/Journal club once
in a month
Fri: Hospital conference / interdepartmental meeting
Sat: Unit activity
Orientation/didactic lectures could be held in the beginning before actual regular teaching
program starts.
Thesis
The detailed guidelines are given in annexure.

Assessments/ Examinations
Concurrent examination/assessment
The purpose of the concurrent assessment is to give regular feed back to the DNB candidates
about their performance and to prepare them for the final terminal examination by giving them
exposure to the examination pattern. As a part of the concurrent evaluation the DNB candidates
will be assessed every six months by an independent local appraiser selected by National
Board of Examinations. This would include theory examination (100 marks of three hours
duration) containing 10 short structured question related to the topics covered during the
preceding six months by the accredited hospital/institution.
The practical examination (300 marks) will include long case, short case, spots, ward
round, viva voce on the topics covered during the period by the hospital/institution.
Final examination
Final examination shall consist of two parts, i.e., theory and practical
PAPER I Clinical Pediatrics
PAPER II Preventive and Social Pediatrics Including growth and development and
perinatal medicine
PAPER III Specialities of Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Neurology,
Haematology, Nephrology
PAPER IV Basic Medical Sciences as applied to Pediatrics
Practical Examination:
Long & short cases and OSCE should be given to the students for history taking and
examination. Spot case should be given to the candidate in the presence of the examiner/s, to
be examined (including history taking by the candidate) and assessed by the examiners Viva

ANNEXURE-VI, GUIDELINES FOR WRITING THESIS/DISSERTATION
Research shall form an integral part of the education programme of all candidates registered for
Diplomat of NB degrees of the Board. The Basic aim of requiring the candidates to write a
thesis/dissertation is to familiarize him/her with research methodology. The members of the
faculty guiding the thesis/dissertation work for the candidate shall ensure that the subject matter
selected for the thesis/dissertation is feasible, economical and original.
Guidelines
I. The thesis may be normally restricted to the size to 100 pages. To achieve this, following
points may be kept in view;
(i) Only contemporary and relevant literature may be reviewed.
(ii) The techniques may not be described in detail unless any
modification/innovations of the standard techniques are used and reference may
be given.
(iii) Illustrative material may be restricted.
(iv) Since most of the difficulties faced by the residents relate to the work in clinical
subject or clinically oriented laboratory subjects the following steps are
suggested:
! For prospective study, as far as possible, the number of cases should be such that
adequate material, judged from the hospital attendance, will be available and the
candidate will be able to collect the case material within a period of 6-12 months so that
he/she is in a position to complete the work within the stipulated time.
! The objectives of the study should be well defined.
! As far as possible, only clinical or laboratory data of investigations of patients or such
other material easily accessible in the existing facilities should be used for the study.
! Technical assistance, wherever necessary, may be provided by the department
concerned. The resident of one speciality taking up some problem related to some other
speciality should have some basic knowledge about the subject and he/she should be
able to perform the investigations independently, wherever some specialised laboratory
investigations are required a co-guide may be co-opted from the concerned investigative
department, the quantum of laboratory work to be carried out by the candidate should
be decided by the guide and co-guide by mutual consultation.
! The Clinical residents may not ordinarily be expected to undertake experimental work or
clinical work involving new techniques, not hitherto perfected or the use of chemicals or
radio isotopes not readily available. They should however, be free to enlarge the scope
of their studies or undertake experimental work on their own initiative but all such
studies should be feasible within the existing facilities.
! The residents should be able to use freely the surgical pathology/autopsy data if it is
restricted to diagnosis only. If however, detailed historic data are required the resident
will have to study the cases himself with the help of the guide/co-guide. The same will
apply in case of clinical data.
! Statistical methods used for analysis should be described in detail.
