Over 50000 MBBS students graduating every year from 385 medical colleges across the country undergo the stressful-uncertain phase of their life.
Nearly two lakh young doctors in our country spend 2-5 years in coaching after successfully completing five years of MBBS, mugging MCQs rather than treating patients and learning the art of healing."
Reason: There are just 23000 postgraduate seats for which they all have to fight, this includes the candidates passed in previous batches. Over 6,000 seats lie in non-clinical subjects like forensics, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry which don’t interest youngsters due to “less return”.
In the US for 19,000 undergraduate seats,there are 32,000 postgraduate seats. UK also has same ratio.
Lazy Myopic policy:
After independence, India adopted “undergraduate education” as the basic education based on Dr Joseph Bhore Committee’s report(in 1943) to tackle the health issues (Communicable diseases which can be managed by basic doctors) prevailing those days.
The MCI-Vision 2015 report submitted in 2012 – after 66 years of Bhore’s report – also emphasises on basic doctors,even though the country now faces non-communicable and lifestyle diseases more than communicable ones.
where as in developed countries like United Kingdom and the United States,health care is based on postgraduate doctors. Only specialist doctors are employed in national healthcare scheme there.
Mandatory rural service for both UG &PG Doctors!
How can the govt mandates a one year compulsory rural posting for PG students with out structured posting in rural areas? how can the govt accommodate 50000 MBBS doctors when there are just 3000 vacancies ? what is the plight of rest of the doctors who has to wait for their rural posting as they are not eligible to take up their PG entrance exams.
this mandate has increased the combined training period for specialists to 13 years.
IMA don't oppose rural posting, IMA oppose the way it has been forced upon Doctors' .
'Save the Doctor'. IMA demands equalisation of UG and PG medical seats. The need for specialisation remains imminent and reflects in India's high mortality rate (India tops the list with 16.55 lakh such deaths in 2011) which can be accounted by the lack of specialist care made available.
