For medical professionals who have earned a degree in dental science and desire to work as dentists in India or abroad, the Masters of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology is a post-graduate programme. After earning their BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) or a degree equivalent recognized by the Dental Council of India, they perform it. They should also have received permanent registration with the State Dental Council by this time. 

This postgraduate course, which lasts three years and focuses on the study of oral pathology, examines the causes, progression, and consequences of oral disorders. It links the physiological and anatomical changes brought on by oral illnesses to their clinical symptoms. 

The course is a full-time programme that is undertaken in numerous approved institutes and hospitals throughout the nation. The Lady Hardinge Medical College and Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital in New Delhi, the Maulana Azad Dental College and Hospital in New Delhi, the Manipal College of Dental Sciences in Manipal, Karnataka, and many more are just a few of the top accredited institutions/hospitals that offer this programme.

The National Board of Examinations in Medical Science (NBEMS) administers the NEET-MDS Entrance Exam, which is required for admission to this programme. Counseling is then provided based on the exam results by the DGHS/DCI/State and state authorities. To grant MDS admission, however, a few of institutions, including AIIMS, hold a university-level entrance exam. The AIIMS INI CET is used to determine MDS admission at the AIIMS in New Delhi. 

Dental education in India is governed by the Dental Council of India (DCI). The annual cost of earning a BDS degree can range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 27 lakhs at authorized institutions and hospitals. Following completion of their different courses, doctors have two options: they can either seek employment or enrol in fellowship programmes approved by DCI. Candidates can open their own dental practice or serve as dentists in public or private hospitals, nursing homes, or both. Starting salaries typically vary from Rs. 9 lakhs to Rs. 40 lakhs annually. 

Aspirants to the MDS can advance their research, critical analysis, and advanced clinical abilities. One can become an authority in this sector after pursuing this degree. 

What is MDS? 

Doctors can enrol in the three-year Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) programme after finishing the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) programme.

The Dental Council of India (DCI) recognises the MDS degree, which is available in a number of specialisations. Including:

• Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge
• Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
• Periodontology
• Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedic
• Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
• Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology
• Oral Medicine & Radiology
• Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry
• Public Health Dentistry

Dental science deals with preserving oral health, while MDS focuses on conditions affecting the teeth, jaw, and other facial tissues. Additionally, for procedures like dental implants, artificial replacements, the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the jaw and gums, the alignment and realignment of the teeth and jaw, the treatment of dental tissues, the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the face, as well as cosmetic procedures. 

The doctor would be better able to identify the community’s health needs thanks to the required training completed during undergrad. 

To expand their knowledge, candidates should regularly attend conferences and workshops.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Bhubaneswar and the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in Bhubaneswar have teamed up to work on artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed on Tuesday by the two prestigious institutes to continue their collaboration in advancing research for public health applications, including early disease and outbreak diagnosis, AI and data analytics, biomedical engineering and technology, disease prediction modeling, digital health, and the creation of tools, equipment, and tactics for diagnostic and therapeutic use.

IIT Bhubaneswar and AIIMS Bhubaneswar’s partnership will combine medical science and technology to deliver a better and more advanced healthcare service. The two institutions that make up the Center will concentrate on the development of specialized facilities and investigate the utilisation of cutting-edge medical technology for AI-enabled patient care services. Additionally, they will create and provide collaborative academic courses that combine technology and healthcare, as well as a system for sharing academic credit.

The MoU also covers the facilitation of training/reorientation programs, teacher and student exchange programs, and academic excellence programmes for each field. The partnership will inspire students to conduct research utilising cutting-edge technologies, according to the official sources.

The institutes have determined that they will focus on the areas of product creation, technological transfer, and industrial cooperation. Under this partnership, a cutting-edge research facility named the “Center for Biomedical Engineering and Technology” has also been planned. The center will primarily focus on advanced characterization, biomedical signal processing, detector fabrication for imaging, additive manufacturing for tailored materials, and the creation of biotrackers and biosensors for mental health care.

According to Ashutosh Biswas, executive director of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, the collaboration will concentrate on the use of AI in relation to a variety of health disorders, as well as on the development of materials, apps, wearable sensors, image-based diagnostics, data sciences-enabled smart health monitoring systems, early warning systems, and other things.

As a result of the partnership, MBBS and BTech students will be able to take brief summer courses, while PhD (PhD/MTech) students will be able to complete research dissertations and thesis work.

This collaboration makes the integration of medical research and technology for the provision of cutting-edge and effective healthcare services possible. Additionally, it will provide a foundation for high-tech research interest among students and advance public health applications.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) gave its clearance on Monday, and a new medical college with 100 MBBS seats will soon open in the Telangana state district of Khammam. This action is being taken as the Telangana state government works to improve medical education in the area and fill more than a thousand assistant professor positions.

The medical assessment and rating board (MARB) of the NMC evaluated the proposal for the new medical college and looked at the availability of infrastructure facilities within the college, including laboratories, libraries, hostels, faculty, residents, nurses, and paramedical staff, among other things. The NMC approved the college’s request to start delivering MBBS courses in the academic year 2023–2024 after reviewing the assessors’ favorable findings.

The acceptance letter from NMC stated, “The present proposal has been approved on the basis of undertaking given by the secretary, health, medical, and family welfare departments (dated March 9).”

The NMC has already granted approval to new medical colleges in Telangana. For the academic year 2023–2024, the commission has previously approved medical colleges in the Kamareddy and Asifabad districts, each with 100 MBBS seats. Six further medical colleges are also being developed and are seeking NMC clearance in the districts of Karimnagar, Vikarabad, Jangaon, Nirmal, Bhupalpally, and Sircilla.

1. Harish Rao, Telangana’s health minister, expressed his excitement over the new development and stated that the state government wants to make Telangana the nation’s center for medical education. Additionally, he stated that 1,442 assistant professor positions will be filled soon by the government.

Telangana’s medical education has greatly benefited from the approval of the new medical college in Khammam. It is anticipated to offer top-notch medical instruction to students from the area and beyond, opening doors for the healthcare industry’s expansion and advancement. The state government’s initiatives to advance medical education and fill job openings in the field are admirable and will significantly improve the state’s healthcare system.

After hearing a number of petitions related to the matter advanced by Indian medical students who had fled Ukraine after the conflict, the Supreme Court of India eventually took action. Students pounded on the SC’s doors, pleading for special accommodations and infrastructure support to facilitate their stalled medical careers.

After an extensive review that lasted eight months, the SC decided on March 28 to grant Indian medical students who returned from the Ukraine the right to take the final MBBS exam twice. The ruling, however, has only increased the students’ perplexity. Students claim that because of the verdict’s ramifications, only students in their last year have a clear sense of what their future holds.

Aishwarya Bhati, Central Government Counsel and Additional Solicitor General (ASG), informed the bench that Part I of the exam will be a theory-based exam similar to the Indian MBBS, while Part II, focusing on clinicals, could be conducted by a designated college while acknowledging that it is a humane issue.

The court’s panel, BR Gavai and Vikram Nath, ruled that Ukraine’s medics must do a two-year, mandatory rotational internship, with the first year being free and the second year being compensated after passing the Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) exam. In the past, students were required to complete a one-year internship programme in Ukraine. The Russo-Ukrainian War prevented those students from taking their KROK-II exam last year, and they fled the country. As a result, their individual Ukrainian universities did not award them degrees, according to RB Gupta, Head of the Parents Association of Ukraine Medical Students (PAUMS), who welcomed the ruling. The Ukrainian Health Ministry conducts the annual KROK (also known as EDKI) licencing exam as a requirement for state certification and awarding the qualification of a doctor to a student.

In the final year of study in Ukrainian medical schools, students take the KROK-II exam, which is part of the graduation test. Passing this exam is a requirement for students who want to practice medicine.

The decision is thought to have provided students with a chance to earn their degrees. Although it is yet unclear whether the Indian Medical University or its Ukrainian counterpart will bestow degrees,

“In order to clarify this, we must wait for an official announcement from the National Medical Commission (NMC).” However, the authorities will design the exam in accordance with global norms and on par with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) requirement of passing at least 18 MBBS-related courses, according to Gupta. 

Nearly 80% of the final-year students have already departed for the war-torn Ukraine to complete their practical tests and sit for the KROK-II, according to the PAUMS. The majority of fifth-year students have returned to Ukraine, while 50% have transferred via the Ukrainian government’s scheme for academic mobility. Only 20% of Ukrainian universities have received their fourth-year students back. According to Gupta, 3000–4000 students are still unable to complete their online degrees in India, the bulk of them are in their first to third years of study. Experts point out that it is not practical to learn about medicine online. 

Authorities should take these pupils into consideration, Gupta continued, and the rules established by the NMC on November 18, 2021, should be relaxed to allow transfers for students in their first through third years, which are currently prohibited. 

Karthik Chandrashekar, a member of the Ukraine Medical Students Organization in Tamil Nadu, described the ruling as unsatisfactory and restricted in its approach. “Students are overburdened with another mandatory exam,” he added. Additionally, the government is adamant about including an extra year for clinical rotation. In my opinion, it’s not a very good choice. 

Experts are expressing concern that the verdict will only have an impact on students in their last year of study and the future prospects of those students whose futures are still hanging in the balance. Chandrashekar requests that the government communicate with the students beforehand to allay their concerns.

“More explanation should be given to all pupils because they are unsure of what will happen next.” Before introducing something new, students should be mentally ready. These are areas where the government falls short, Chandrashekar continued.

While there are differing opinions among experts over the two-year internship requirement, students are pessimistic about the same. The two-year internship program, according to Asmita, a Vinnytsia National Medical University fifth-year medical student who returned to Ukraine in November last year, is stressful. She expressed worry that now pupils would need to study for tests all year round. Why would we want to travel to India alone, she asked, “with this much additional burden and a confusing judgment”? 

 education

Gupta said that the two-year rolling internship will give students greater practical experience and pointed out that, in addition to the war, students were still receiving their education online throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “With this, there have now been three years of online. The administration has put out this suggestion in the SC in order to sustain the standard of education,” he continued. 

Ivano Frankvisk National Medical University (IFNMU) fourth-year student Harsh Goel stated he wasn’t prepared for this level of criticism. “This doesn’t mean much to us, the fourth-year students. We anticipate greater assistance from the government.

Goel is studying medicine online from Muzaffarnagar since he is so excited about it. He emphasized that Indian doctors are not exposed to clinical practice in any way while they are living there. Goel continued, “How would final-year students be able to give the Part II exam set on Indian standards if they do not get clinical exposure?”

Goel, who is from Muzaffarnagar, is a keen online student.  While conversing with the students, it was revealed that the KROK exam for this year would be held on June 29, 2023, and that attendance in Ukraine would be required to administer the test. In relation to transit visa requests, neither the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) nor nearby nations like Romania, Poland, and Moldova are approving student visa applications. “If we were to obtain a visa, it would take us at least two months.” Another student spoke on the condition of anonymity: “We have to show up for the KROK exam; otherwise, we will have to redo the entire year.

On March 28, 2023, the Ukrainian Ministry of Health published a news release on its website claiming that the Ukrainian Government had passed a temporary resolution allowing students to take EDKI (or KROK) outside of Ukraine while under martial law. 

If students will be able to take the EDKI in their house or place of lodging anywhere in the world, more information is needed. ETHealthworld made an attempt to get in touch with the Ukrainian Health Ministry; more information is awaited. Students are currently choosing between taking the KROK exam outside of Ukraine or on campus after obtaining official notification from their individual colleges. But will medical professionals continue to choose the Indian exam or stick with the current system? That is still up in the air.

Together with other top officials, Paiwang Konyak, the minister of health and family welfare, visited the Mon Medical College’s construction site in Nagaland on Tuesday. The inspection team found that the approach road to the medical college was impractical and instructed that a new alignment be made right away.

After touring the property, the minister met briefly with local residents, district administration representatives, contractors, the engineering wing, and civil society organizations from Konyak. He said that without additional resources, the revised alignment should be worked out and finished in a week. Paiwang urged the locals to cooperate fully with the building crew until the medical college was finished.

The commissioner and secretary, Kikheto Sema, made the decision to adjust the road’s orientation after pointing out that the earlier-built road was impractical for the future. The technical group was given a week to complete the task. Sema noted that the six-story building that the administration and hospital blocks were originally intended as was not practical for the Nagas. The proposed construction was changed from six to three stories, and the contractors were advised to do so.

The builders promised that work on the college would start as soon as the road was finished and be finished in 30 months. Additionally present at the location were the H&FW main director, deputy directors, Mon DC, Mon SP, Mon CMO, medical superintendent, executive engineer of PWD, doctors, contractors, Konyak Union, and representatives of Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong (KNSK) and Konyak Students’ Union.

The minister and his team previously met with the CMO and other health officials. The villagers and civil society organizations in Konyak have welcomed the inspection and instructions to adjust the alignment of the road. Mon Medical College is anticipated to begin building shortly and will eventually offer healthcare services to the residents of Nagaland.
