New Delhi (India), September 20: Addressing a press conference organized by AIPCMA (All India Pre and Para Clinical Medicos Association) at the Press Club of India in the national capital, Delhi, AIPCMA President Dr. Abhinav Purohit said that the degrees of other professional institutes like – LLB, B tech, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Like veterinary, even nursing and pharmacy institutions, the rules requiring a recognized and registered degree (MBBS) to become a teacher in a medical college should also be strictly enforced. At the same time, AIPCMA Vice President Dr CM Kamal said that through this press conference, our aim is to throw light on the rules for determining the qualification of medical teachers and demand to completely stop the recruitment of non-medical teachers. The shortfall in availability cannot be made up by compromising on quality. AIPCMA expresses its gratitude to NMC for reducing the relaxation percentage in the recruitment of non-medical teachers and considers this as an effort in a positive direction.
Along with this, a thanksgiving demonstration was also organized by AIPCMA (All India Pre and Para Clinical Medicos Association) at Jantar Mantar in Delhi for issuing new rules by NMC and the Health Ministry. More than 100 doctors from 16 states and 4 union territories across the country participated in this Thanksgiving demonstration. In this, gratitude was expressed for the release of UGMSR (Undergraduate Minimum Standard Requirement) 2023 and CBME (Competency-based Medical Education) Regulations 2023.
Along with this, AIPCMA also demanded that in the coming time, the provision of 15% relaxation in the appointment of non-medical candidates in three subjects in these rules should also be abolished. Because only doctors should be teachers for medical training in medical colleges. The new CBME course issued by NMC in which clinical study starts from the day of admission in the college, only doctors can teach that course.
