Medical teacher has an indispensible role in teaching, patient care and research work. However, it is difficult to define the array of roles of a medical teacher. For the various roles, leadership, managerial and administrative skills of teachers are crucial. But usually medical teachers are not trained to enhance these skills. This survey aims to assess perception of medical teachers about their administrative and managerial skills beyond academic work, research and patient care. A questionnaire was designed, pilot-tested and administered to all faculty members (N=197). A self-administered questionnaire containing 20 items was developed on Google form. 146 responses were recorded on Google form (response rate of74 %) and analysed. The majority of the teachers' were of the opinion that there is a need to improve their individual administrative skill. However, in the absence of formal faculty administrative training programs in the college, most of the teachers indicated that their administrative skills are currently being improved through sporadic informal community of practice involving interested colleagues and modelling identified good teachers. A well-structured training to departmental administrative requirements shall have positive impact not only on academics, research and patient care but also on job satisfaction among medical teachers. This will also lead to better utilization of various resources in health sector. While setting up separate health administration department in each medical college will lead to better management of multidisciplinary challenges of healthcare. This will further decrease the administrative burden on Medical teachers.

COVID 19 vaccines shows good efficacy and safety in real world data. However clinical outcome in vaccinated persons is not widely known. This was a Questionnaire based study conducted between September 2021 to March 2022 after permission of IEC (Letter no. SNMC /IEC /2021 / 50). A Google doc based validated questionnaire (18 questions) was circulated through E mail/social media groups to individuals who became COVID infected in the past. The respondents who were fully vaccinated and completed 14 days duration after second dose of vaccination at time of infection serves as study group (Group I) while those who were unvaccinated at the time of infection serves as control group (Group II). Clinical course of disease was compared between two groups. A total of 517 previously COVID infected individuals had responded the questionnaire. Out of it, 108 respondents were either partially vaccinated or infected before completion of 14 days of second dose so they were excluded from the study. A total of 210 fully vaccinated respondents were included in study group (Group I) while 199 individuals who were unvaccinated at the time of infection serves as control group (Group II). Difficulty in breathing, need of hospital stay and post COVID complications were significantly less in vaccinated group in comparison to control group. As per survey findings, vaccination significantly reduces difficulty in breathing and need of hospital stay. A significant reduction in post COVID complications was also noted. So, vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce the severity of clinical course and better outcome of COVID 19 infection.
