Overview
The Diploma in Child Health (DCH) at RIMS Ranchi is a two-year postgraduate diploma, aimed at training doctors in pediatric medicine. With a modest total tuition fee (₹ 13,000), the course is quite accessible, especially in a government medical institute. Since RIMS is a large tertiary-care hospital, students pursuing DCH get significant clinical exposure: they see a variety of pediatric cases, from common childhood illnesses to more serious conditions in the pediatric wards and outpatient departments. The program helps build a strong foundation in pediatric diagnostics, treatment, and growth-development monitoring, which is valuable for general practice in pediatrics or as a stepping-stone to further specialization. RIMS’ recognition, combined with its established pediatric department, makes this diploma valuable for those who want focused pediatric training without committing to a full MD.
