“This chance is being provided for all those candidates who could not complete their registration previously, as well as for those applicants who want to apply as fresh candidates for the NEET (UG) – 2023,” said Senior Director (Exams), Dr. Sadhana Parashar.

In a recent decision, the Madras High Court bench ruled that diploma holders are not permitted to operate a clinic anywhere in the state without a recommendation from the National Medical Commission (NMC), formerly the Medical Council of India (MCI), or the AYUSH Department. The HC bench of Justice M Dhandapani further defined “Registered Medical Practitioner” as “a person who possesses any of the Government recognised medical qualifications and who has been enrolled in the register of the respective Council viz., Medical, Dental, Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani or Homeopathic Councils or the Board of Indian Medicine” or “Doctor” as “means and includes a Residency”

The court made this statement as it was deliberating a petition by diploma holders asking it to step in and prevent the health department from interfering with their ability to establish primary healthcare clinics. The petitioners contended that they were qualified to manage primary health care clinics in rural areas after successfully completing the two-year Diploma in Community Medical Service and Essential Medicines Course. They further asserted that they never identified themselves as doctors and that there was no legal restriction on their ability to practice community medical services and essential drugs.

On the other hand, the government’s attorney argued that if the petitioners were qualified to operate a clinic, they would need to submit an application under the Tamil Nadu Clinical Establishments (Regulation) Act, 1997, and secure approval before opening one. The government’s representative contended that the petitioners were not permitted to operate a clinic anywhere in Tamil Nadu or in rural areas since they lacked the necessary authorization.

The attorney further emphasized that, pursuant to Rule 2(i) of the Tamil Nadu Clinical Establishments (Regulations) Rules, “doctor” in 2018 refers to and includes a Registered Medical Practitioner who provides consultations or treatment under AYUSH or Allopathy. Regarding this, the government’s attorney said that the petitioners are not permitted to operate a clinic or practice medicine until their qualifications have been approved by the Medical Council of India or the AYUSH Department.

The Tamil Nadu Clinical Establishments (Regulations) Rules, 2018’s pertinent clauses were also skimmed by the Madras High Court’s panel in order to review the definitions of physicians and licensed medical practitioners.

The Madras High Court bench’s earlier decision was also cited by the bench, according to the ruling. The HC bench noted, referring to the rules, that “the above said provisions makes it clear that Registered Medical Practitioner means a person who possesses any of the Government recognised medical qualifications and who has been enrolled in the register of the respective Council, viz., Medical, Dental, Siddha, Ayurveda, Unani or Homeopathic Councils or the Board of Indian Medicine or any such Council, Board or any other statutory body recognised by the Government of Tamil Nadu

In the decision, the bench remarked, “The petitioners are not permitted to operate a clinic anywhere in Tamil Nadu without approval from the Medical Council of India or the AYUSH Department.” As a result, neither the relief requested in these petitions nor the claim raised in the writ petitions may be considered.

The Madras High Court panel had emphasized last month that unqualified persons cannot claim any right to practice alternative medicine as the outcome can be devastating, refusing any relief to a total of 61 practitioners. By this, the court had mandated that the state take action against institutions and practitioners of medicine that were not recognized.

In the absence of any genuine medical certificates and without their names being registered with the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, the court had instructed the authorities not to permit the petitioners to continue their medical practice in alternative medicine or in any other type of medicine.

The prominent Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh has received in-principle approval from the Standing Finance Committee to start the MBBS programme, which is a big development for medical students in India. The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has designated PGIMER as a deemed university and given it the designation of Institution of Eminence. The action is anticipated to increase awareness of the institute’s development, which up until now has only been focused on postgraduate programmes.

There are intentions to begin the course with 100 seats, while the precise number of MBBS seats has not yet been determined. The hospital’s governing authority will now receive the agenda for the MBBS course for additional approval. Rajesh Bhushan, the Union Health Secretary, presided over the meeting of the Standing Budget Committee, which also authorized a number of other projects, including multi-level parking, 11 MD seats for the blood transfusion department, and non-teaching positions for the telemedicine institute.

The decision to launch the MBBS programme at PGIMER is anticipated to increase possibilities for aspiring medical professionals and improve local medical education and healthcare infrastructure. Today, 92 general category MBBS seats are available for admission at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Chandigarh’s Sector 32. With the start of the undergraduate program at PGIMER, people’s attention will be drawn to the development of the institute.

Along with paramedical undergraduate degrees like BSC Nursing, PGIMER has been offering postgraduate medical courses like DM, MCH, MD, MS, MSC, and MHA. The institute’s facilities for medical education and research are anticipated to improve much more with the addition of the MBBS course. According to Kumar Gaurav Dhawan, deputy director of administration, the SFC meeting covered roughly 20 issues on the agenda, and the committee gave the MBBS programme its in-principle approval.

The acceptance of the MBBS programme at PGIMER is encouraging for prospective doctors, especially for those who are studying for the NEET (National Eligibility and Common Entrance Exam), which is the national entrance test for admission to Indian medical schools. The action is anticipated to give applicants to medical colleges more options and solve the nation’s medical workforce shortage.

Odisha’s Capital Hospital and Bhubaneswar’s Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research have both announced the addition of six new postgraduate medical courses. Three PG seats will be added in each of the six new departments, which include pathology, microbiology, biochemistry, forensic medicine and toxicology (FMT), anesthesia, and ophthalmology.

The classes would begin after receiving approval from the National Medical Commission, the institute’s head, Nibedita Pani, told The Times of India (NMC). In the departments of obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, medicine, surgery, respiratory medicine, and orthopaedics, the institute currently offers PG medical courses.

Six new departments at the institute will open in the academic year 2022–2023, with admission for 24 postgraduate students, as previously approved by the NMC. The institute, which was opened by the state’s chief minister last year, is tasked with delivering high-quality healthcare and education to its residents.

The institute’s director added that classes and seminars are currently taking place, with students having access to digital classrooms and smart classroom capabilities. Admission for PG courses in the institute’s existing departments had begun in October and November of last year. The students have provided outstanding research project ideas, and the teachers are working hard to uphold the institute’s standards.

The institute has already begun doing research, and during a meeting of the ethical committee, 31 research papers were chosen. The institute’s permanent site, which will be built on land formerly owned by Capital Hospital, will be finished by January 2024, the director further stated. In a study of children’s growth, the institute is also thinking about collaborating with the WHO regional office in India.

The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research and the Capital Hospital in Odisha have undergone a tremendous development with the inclusion of six new postgraduate medical courses. The institute’s dedication to offering high-quality instruction and medical services is admirable and is anticipated to help the state’s residents.

One of the nation’s oldest private medical facilities is Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi. Civil engineer and philanthropist Sir Ganga Ram founded the hospital in 1921 because he thought it was important to create institutions that could benefit society. At a time when the majority of people were performing acts of kindness in the name of their religion, Sir Ganga Ram constructed a hospital that has endured the upheaval of Partition and the ensuing communal strife.

Now, the hospital is a reputable name that exhibits steady business growth year after year while continuing to be a charitable trust. The hospital’s founders set a high standard, and the management and personnel at the hospital continue to be motivated by their legacy.

The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. D.S. Rana has been connected to the hospital for more than 50 years. He tells how two senior physicians from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital persuaded him to join their team when he was a young physician at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. Dr. Rana chose to take the risk after they promised him a career full of adventure and a pay raise.

My father complained that I had joined a “Lala ki dukaan” when I called to tell him that I had quit a government position to work at a private hospital. “But looking back now, after 50 years, I can claim that at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, we invented a number of medical procedures and systems,” infers Dr. Rana.

For instance, the hospital performed the first successful dialysis and blood transfusion in the field of nephrology back in the 1980s, saving countless lives in the years that followed. Dr. Rana attributes the hospital’s success to the founders’ aptitude for detecting potential and their unyielding stance against interfering with doctors’ work and requirements.

Being a profitable company while running a charity trust is not simple. It is also challenging to maintain a solid brand reputation while demonstrating year over year business growth. Yet, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has succeeded in achieving the ideal balance between these two objectives. The hospital’s management and employees, who are dedicated to giving their patients the finest care possible, have continued its founders’ objective of helping society.

On March 5, 2023, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) administered the NEET PG 2023 test. The scorecard was made public on March 26, 2023, while the results were announced on March 14, 2023. According to Section 61(2) of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, read with 10 (D) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, NEET-PG is an eligibility-cum-ranking exam that is mandated as the single entrance examination for admission to various MD/MS and PG Diploma Programmes.

The management of the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS), Mumbai, Vile Parle campus recently took an unprecedented step and suspended the entire class of Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) honours students. 180 second-year students from all three classes of SY B.Com. A, B, and C received the suspension notice due to suspected “misbehavior.”

The staff had complained about persistent disruption and inattentiveness among some students, claiming that it was interfering with their ability to teach, and as a result, they were suspended. The moment one student connected his smartphone to the e-board (system) and began playing music during a formal PowerPoint presentation, however, appears to have been the breaking point.

While some may think that this is a brave move to stop pupils from acting out, others may believe that it is unfair to punish the entire class for the misbehavior of a few. Numerous students have voiced their displeasure at what they perceive to be “unfairness” and have said that the entire class shouldn’t be forced to suffer in the middle of the semester.

Regrettably, there has been a general deterioration in research and an increase in unethical behavior at institutions across the nation, so this incidence is not unusual. Such incidences have been on the rise, ranging from using unethical tactics and showing disdain for teachers to giving false information during interviews and tests.

By taking advantage of the weaknesses of online interviews and remote proctoring, cheating, disdain for teachers, and lying in examinations and interviews are all on the rise. This emphasizes the requirement for stringent action to be taken to stop such nefarious acts and unethical behaviors. To prevent innocent students from being victimized for no reason at all, it is crucial.

To sum up, even though suspending an entire batch may sound drastic, it sends a strong message to all kids that disruptive behavior won’t be tolerated. Institutions must guard innocent students’ interests while also making sure they are not penalized. Striking a balance between upholding discipline and ensuring the welfare of students is crucial.

The relocation of medical colleges, independent PG institutes, and regional centers for various faculty development programmes has been announced by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Based on input from the surrounding area, proximity to other institutions, and workload, the commission has approved the relocation of all medical colleges and standalone PG institutes for the purpose of faculty development programmes. For the purpose of the Advanced Course in Medical Education, the commission has also approved the allocation of regional centers to nodal centers (ACME).

634 medical colleges and standalone PG institutions are currently assigned to twelve nodal centres and 23 regional centres for a variety of faculty development programmes, including the Basic Course in Medical Education (BCME), Curriculum Implementation Support Program (CISP), and ACME, according to the academic cell of the Apex Medical Commission. However, the relocation of these institutions is now required due to the recent increase in the number of medical colleges, nodal centers, and regional centers

The Nodal Centers, Regional Centers, and Medical Colleges may now undertake a variety of faculty development activities in accordance with updated NMC criteria. The regulations, which took effect on April 17, 2023, replaced or changed any previous regulations on these topics that had been published by the former Medical Council of India (MCI) or by the NMC on occasion.

An expert panel has created training modules with common proposals from the environment to promote uniformity in the performance of faculty development programmes. The training modules outline the goals for each topic that needs to be covered during these workshops in addition to providing a thorough review of each one. The nodal centers and regional centers will each receive a copy of these training modules independently.

It is anticipated that the NMC’s decision to reassign medical colleges, independent PG institutes, and regional centres for faculty development programmes will raise the standard of medical education in the nation. The institutions will be better able to meet the demands of the students and faculty if resources are allocated based on workload and input from the environment. The updated rules for the administration of faculty development programmes will aid in standardising the calibre of instruction given to medical educators, which is anticipated to improve the standard of medical education in the nation.
