Summary:Few medical institutions in India, such as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), use the term pre-clinical in their websites and brochures, but many institutions still use the word ‘non-clinical’. In my opinion, the non-clinical departments should be renamed pre-clinical departments. In western countries, the curriculum is divided into pre-clinical and clinical.

Non-clinical departments in western countries are the departments of human resource, accounts and information technology (IT).
