✅ Verified Medical Education Portal • Aligned with NMC CBME & MUHS Standards
Praman (प्रमाण) is an independent academic publishing platform dedicated to Indian medical students (MBBS candidates, clinical interns, and junior resident doctors). Our name derives from the classical Sanskrit philosophical concept of pramāṇa — signifying verifiable proof, authoritative truth, and valid means of knowledge. In an era saturated with recycled internet summaries, unverified Telegram PDFs, and algorithmic medical misinformation, Praman enforces a strict evidence-based editorial charter: nothing is published unless it is anchored in actual syllabus mandates, university examination proformas, official National Medical Commission (NMC) notifications, or hands-on clinical ward practice.
Our Four-Pillar Editorial Standards
Every guide, clinical checklist, and book recommendation published on Praman undergoes rigorous verification against four distinct benchmark pillars:
1. NMC CBME Curriculum Verification
Every academic syllabus guide is mapped directly against the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) regulations formulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC). We cross-reference competency codes, core vs. non-core subject demarcations, and clinical logbook mandates across pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical phases.
2. Bedside & Clinical Ward Validation
Clinical medicine cannot be learned solely from textbooks. Our examination steps, long case presentation formats, and viva defense guides are validated directly through bedside rounds in government tertiary teaching hospitals, reflecting the exact grilling questions asked by clinical professors and external examiners.
3. Standard Reference Grounding
We do not synthesize content from random blogs. Clinical classifications, staging criteria, and drug regimens cite authoritative standard textbooks recognized by Indian universities: Harrison's Internal Medicine, Bailey & Love's Surgery, Robbins & Cotran Pathology, K.D. Tripathi Pharmacology, and DC Dutta Obstetrics.
4. Transparency & Rapid Errata Protocol
Stipend gazettes, university exam schedules, and bond penalty regulations change regularly across Indian states. Every data table features a visible “Last Updated” timestamp. If an official notification updates a state stipend or exam guideline, our editorial protocol mandates errata updates within 24 hours.
