Indian Medical education needs drastic Revamp...

Our country has largest number of medical colleges(168 govt&194 private,total 362) in the world. More than 45,000 seats of MBBS  are available annually.(45629 as on 2013).
As the undergraduate medical training is much more expensive, Developed countries have exploited postgraduate training opportunities as a tool to attract young trained medical graduates from developing countries like India,to strengthen their own healthcare workforce. 

In USA, the number of postgraduate (MD/MS) seats is almost double the numbers of the undergraduate (MBBS) seats. For 16,527 US medical school students, 26,772 positions of postgraduate residency training were available in 2012.
But, in India, we observe the reverse scenario.for 45000 MBBS seats ,we have only 10000 clinical PG Seats.(pre,para and clinical seats totals to 22500).
Suppose if we follow the USA and  increase the clinical PG Seats to 90000, capitation fee will collapse and then the (medical education) industry will collapse.

Pathetic situation:
It is disgusting  that a large number of Indian medical graduates are aspiring to immigrate abroad not necessarily due to personal ambition but due to difficult professional conditions. Back home, many of them have already started seeking opportunities in civil services, business management, clinical trial, call centre jobs, pharmaceutical industry, real estate, travel business, cosmetic and beauty industry etc. 

Majority of MBBS doctors are ending up as cheap labour , working at large hospitals in metropolitan cities.

Contrary to the perception of the scarcity of medical doctors, there is no campus interview or fat pay packages even at premier medical institutions like AIIMS .comparing the situation of management and technical graduates,medical graduates are in despair.no doubt,its only due to faulty medical education.

Given the morbidity pattern and population, there is a genuine need for practicing and skilled doctors in the primary healthcare sector.

Limiting medical education to tertiary care institutions and allowing teaching exclusively by doctors with specialist qualification is an obsolete concept. Restricting entry of primary care doctors into mainstream medical education system as faculty and not legalizing community health services as accredited sites of medical education is dangerous precedence for medical profession.

Normally the state will fill 85% of the total government college seats and rest 15% will be for all India quota for any other state student who are in merit list.
