The courses with an aim to cater to medical needs of epileptic patients, Health Minister Ashwani Chaube said:-

The courses for MD and Mch in Neurology in all medical colleges in Bihar will start within a year so that the epileptic patients could get specialised treatment, he said at a symposium on 'Neurology Update'.
A committee of renowned neurologists will be set up soon to advise on the contents of the proposed syllabus for the courses in MD and Mch in Neurology, Chaube said. 

The health minister further said that the medical colleges have decided for wards for treatment of the epilepic patients and related facilities like CT Scan and MRI machines for which funds have been made available to some medical colleges and tenders floated for purchase of these equipment. 

He stressed on the need for raising awareness among the people that the epilepsy disease is curable with proper treatment and asked people to refrain from taking services of quacks or using objects like shoes to treat such patients. 

Referring to occurrence of the Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AEC) and the Japanese Encephalitis (JE) every year causing deaths of hundreds of children in Bihar, he said a task force has been set up to provide vaccination to the children in Patna and Magadh divisions - the epicentre of such disease.

Other postgraduate clinical degrees 

The Master of Surgery is an advanced qualification in surgery. It is most commonly abbreviated Ch.M. or M.S., as well as M.Ch. and M.Chir. from its Latin name, Magister Chirurgiae or the English form of Master of Surgery.

There is also a similar advanced professional degree to the postgraduate MD: the Master of Surgery (usually ChM or MS, but MCh in Scotland, Ireland, Wales and at Oxford and MChir at Cambridge). The equivalence of these degrees, but their differing names, prevents the need for surgeons (addressed as Mr. in the UK) having to revert to the title Dr., which they once held as new MBBS graduates.
In Ireland, where the basic medical qualification includes a degree in obstetrics, there is a similar higher degree of Master of the Art of Obstetrics (MAO). A Master of Midwifery was formerly examined by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London (hence MMSA) but fell into abeyance in the 1960s; in this case the term Master referred not to a university degree but rather a professional rank that is common among craft guilds.
In East Africa, the medical schools in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda award the degree of Master of Medicine (MMed) degree in both surgical and medical specialty disciplines following a three-year period of instruction.
In West Africa, the West African College of Physicians and the West African College of Surgeons award the Fellowship of the West African College of Physicians (FWACP) and the Fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons (FWACS) in medical and surgical disciplines respectively after a minimum of four-year residency training period.
