GMC Thiruvannamalai Clinical Exposure
MBBS: NEET-UG; applicable state / All India counselling
Clinical exposure & teaching services
The hospital history describes approximately 500 functional beds and round-the-clock TAEI emergency care. This is an undated institutional description. The college separately reports commissioning a critical-care block on 3 March 2026, with a stated project cost of ₹24 crore. No reconciled current bed inventory was retrieved, so the new block is not added arithmetically to the older approximate figure.
Clinical exposure depends on posting schedules, supervision, patient consent and the student’s stage of training. A hospital’s ability to perform a specialised procedure does not establish how frequently an undergraduate observes it, assists with it or is assessed in a related skill. The department descriptions below identify published services and learning settings while leaving individual logbook requirements to the college.
The Blood Bank page records a service starting in 2013 and component preparation/storage from 2018. It reports supporting three government hospitals and thirteen community health centres. Its 2023 collection figure is 8,044 units; other averages have no explicit date range. These are service disclosures, not a substitute for current licensing or a count of procedures performed by students.
Radiation Oncology reports the first treatment on a newly commissioned Telecobalt unit on 20 March 2026. ENT describes a cochlear-implant launch but uses a relative date without a clear calendar publication date in the retrieved text. The first item can enter a dated timeline; the second remains an undated clinical milestone. Patient-identifying details and clinical photographs are not republished.
