The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) recently achieved a historic milestone. Specifically, the organization secured a Guinness World Record for hosting a massive AI healthcare training session. A peak of 17,999 doctors logged in simultaneously for the live-streamed lesson on YouTube. Consequently, this event set a new record for the most viewers of an artificial intelligence healthcare lesson. This achievement highlights the growing interest in digital health among Indian medical practitioners.
This record-breaking livestream was part of a structured six-month national programme. Specifically, the course includes 20 comprehensive modules delivered by global experts. Faculty members from prestigious institutions like Harvard University, IIM Lucknow, and IISc Bengaluru lead the sessions. Moreover, NBEMS provides this education entirely free of cost for all registered medical practitioners. Therefore, the initiative serves as a vital capacity-building effort for India's medical community. It ensures equitable access to high-quality education without revenue-driven motives.
The initiative was conceptualized under the leadership of Dr. Abhijat Sheth, President of NBEMS. Furthermore, the program draws inspiration from the Digital India vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It emphasizes the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence in public service and governance. Additionally, the Union Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda, supported this academic drive. Ultimately, the goal is to prepare future-ready doctors for a technologically advanced healthcare landscape. Officials describe the turnout as unprecedented for a specialized medical education session.
