Mumbai: The medical education department of Maharashtra recently wrote to the Union Health Ministry and requested their opinion on whether counselling can be held for roughly 1,100 CPS seats, citing significant gaps in the standards of institutions offering College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) affiliated courses.

The department mentioned the inspection of the Maharashtra Medical Council that was done last year in a letter to the Centre. MMC discovered “serious shortcomings” in a number of institutes during the inspection.

CPS Mumbai, which was founded in 1912, is an independent organisation that provides fellowship, diploma, and certificate programmes for medical professionals as well as postgraduate medical education. The term is two years for diploma programmes and three years for fellowship programmes. Practitioners are able to register as specialists in the relevant speciality after receiving the CPS-awarded qualification.

Currently, the entrance to CPS courses of more than 3,000 future medical professionals is in doubt. Admissions for the academic year 2022-2023 have not even begun, despite the fact that the Central Government has already held the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET-PG) Examination for 2023-2024 and the admissions for the prior session finished around mid-January.

In Maharashtra, CPS admissions had been managed by the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) for three years. The Union Ministry requested in a letter to the States dated January 12, 2023, that they begin the admissions procedure for CPS courses this year.

According to the most recent media report by the Times of India, the secretary of medical education, Ashwini Joshi, recently wrote to the Union Health Ministry and informed them of the inspections MMC conducted at some institutions offering CPS courses back in January.

The Council visited 120 hospitals during the examination, and among them, two institutes were discovered to be non-operational. While 74 institutes declined inspection, the teams that conducted the inspections for the Council found serious faculty and infrastructural issues in 44 of the institutes. According to the assessment, those institutes’ faculty and infrastructure failed the NMC Minimum Standard Requirement (MSR).

State medical education secretary Dr. Joshi claimed in a letter to the Union health ministry that enrolling students in such institutions would be bad for both their professional futures and the health system. “Therefore, you are kindly asked to provide further guidance, the letter said.

According to sources cited by TOI, the state has issued a reminder to the central government. When asked about the issue, an official stated that they could not commence the counselling process until they received guidance from the Centre.

Dr. Girish Maindarkar, the president of CPS, stated that he was not informed about the inspection, and the institute learned about the state’s letter through social media. He further added that if there were any issues with affiliated institutes, he should have been informed as the CPS president. He also raised doubts about whether MMC, being a registration body, had the authority to act as a regulatory body and conduct inspections on their institutions.

Dr. Maindarkar also expressed the importance of the council informing them of any shortcomings. He explained that the Minimum Standards Requirement (MSR) for DNB and CPS institutions differs from those affiliated with universities, and the teachers who inspect CPS institutes come from medical colleges. Therefore, they can only assess if the inspection was fair if they receive the report.

Meanwhile, CPS has written to the state twice since January, requesting that the admission process be initiated. However, while confusion persists in Maharashtra, CPS admissions have already started in other states such as Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

The NEET-PG 2023 exam took place on March 5th, 2023 and was held for admission to MD/MS/DNB/Diploma courses for the 2023-24 academic session.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, is a world-renowned public medical research university and hospital in New Delhi, India. The AIIMS Act of 1956 governs the institute, which operates independently under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

AIIMS’s Objectives are to establish a pattern of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in all of its branches in order to demonstrate a high standard of medical education to all Indian medical colleges and other allied institutions.

Bringing together world-class educational facilities in one location for the training of personnel in all critical areas of health care.

Self-sufficiency in postgraduate medical education.

The Indian government has pushed private hospitals to create medical courses in order to increase the number of medical schools and boost medical education in the nation. During a recent meeting with Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, over 60 large private institutions were asked to offer medical courses. Around 20 of the 62 hospitals that participated are expected to begin courses this year.

Many of the hospitals, according to authorities, have already filed their applications, and those that pass inspection will accept students beginning with the current academic year. Breach Candy, Amrita Hospital, Medanta, Reliance Hospital, and Satya Sai were among the hospitals represented during the meeting.

Previously, private hospitals were unwilling to train students, but now many of them have consented to do so.

With specialised services at hospitals, most would start by training PG students. “However, some will launch both UG and PG courses,” stated a source close to the situation.

The hospitals’ hesitation resulted from burdensome paperwork and standards regarding land and infrastructure needs. However, the government has recently altered some of the rules in order to encourage more hospitals to offer medical courses.

The National Medical Commission (NMC), the primary medical education authority, published a draft notification last year that permitted hospital chains with prior experience running medical schools to launch additional schools elsewhere without waiting for the hospitals to become established. According to current regulations, a medical college with a 300-bed hospital can be formed only after it has been in operation for two years.

According to authorities, such a concession would allow the newly created Amrita Hospital in Faridabad to begin courses immediately, given that it already operates a well-established hospital and medical college in Kochi. The change is intended to boost the number of UG and PG seats, which have almost doubled in the previous nine years.

Medical schools have been required to use a system, such as CCTV cameras, biometric attendance, and AI, to monitor the number of patients and teachers present. The NMC has previously ordered that all medical schools install 25 CCTV cameras in critical areas and implement a biometric attendance system.

Officials believe that relaxing standards will have no influence on the quality of medical education. There have previously been claims that medical institutions merely brought in the appropriate number of patients and academic members during inspections. The government’s actions are aimed at boosting openness and ensuring that medical colleges meet the appropriate criteria.

Tirupati: The National Medical Commission (NMC) has granted permission for 83 additional postgraduate medical seats at Sri Venkateswara Medical College (SVMC), Tirupati, bringing good news to medical aspirants in Andhra Pradesh.

According to Dr. PA Chandrasekharan, Principal of the Medical College, these additional postgraduate medical seats have been added in the eleven specialty and super-specialty departments.

As a result of the NMC’s approval, the college now has 226 PG medical seats in total. Furthermore, the college has submitted proposals for seven additional seats in the Surgery Department, and if approved by the Commission, the number of PG seats will increase to 233.

Sri Venkateswara Medical College, located in Tirupati, was founded in 1960. It has 240 undergraduate and 146 postgraduate medical seats in total.

The Central Government approved 630 additional PG medical seats at 11 Andhra Pradesh medical colleges last year. The Centre’s approval came after the State Government requested an increase of 688 PG medical seats.

At the time, the Union Government approved the addition of 75 medical seats to SV Medical College in Tirupati.

According to a recent media report by The Hans India, the apex medical education regulatory body NMC has now granted the medical college permission for an additional 83 PG medical seats in 11 specialty and super specialty departments.

The NMC’s approval came after the commission’s teams inspected the college and Ruia Hospital. Following the inspection, the NMC teams were pleased with the services and educational quality.

College vice-principals Dr. Vasundhara Devi and Dr. Venkateswarlu applauded the Commission’s decision to increase the number of PG medical seats. While commenting on the matter, Dr. PA Chandrasekharan, principal of the medical college, stated that this is the first time in the college’s history that it has received permission for such a large increase in seats at one time.
