CPD Programme
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a process by which individuals take control of their own learning 
and development by engaging themselves in an ongoing process of reflection and action. It assists the medical 
professionals to keep them up-to-date to converge the necessity of the patient and health care services and to 
upgrade their knowledge, skill and attitude. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused 
an unprecedented disruption in medical education. Seminars were not organized in Enam Medical College 
during the period of January 2021 to April 2021 due to safety issues.

CME Programme
To enhance communication skill in teaching and learning and efficiency of judgment of teachers, especially 
the freshly appointed teachers in the assessment in examinations and to improve medical teaching standard 
of teachers by refreshing knowledge, skill and attitude, continued medical education (CME) programmes are 
very much needed. It is also essential to make them oriented with the updating of education system, teaching 
and research methodology and to share experience and views of senior faculties. In these perspectives, 
medical education unit of Enam Medical College is arranging teaching and learning session for all teachers 
of the college every two months. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected healthcare systems worldwide. The 
disruption to hospital routines has affected continuing medical education also. Programmes were switched to 
videoconferencing to maintain teaching. Some programmes also utilized small group teachings with precautions 
and e-learning modules. Teachers actively participated in these sessions.

The COVID pandemic commuted many international conferences to acquire an online format, where many of 
our teachers from different departments participated. 

A dedicated Medical Oxygen Generation Plant at Enam Medical College Hospital 
has been installed
Enam Medical College Hospital has further consolidated its position as one of the best hospitals in the country 
by installation of a dedicated three-tier supply line for continuous medical oxygen generation to fulfill the 
increasing requirements for life-saving oxygen among corona surge across the Upazila on 3 May 2021. Both 
COVID and Non-COVID patients are receiving continuous oxygen supply from that plant.

The project was implemented by Spectra Oxygen Limited. Insha Allah Enam Medical College will go far in the 
service of people with the love of all.
