Under graduate students requested the Government to have a relook at the recent amendment in the PG Medical Education Regulations of MCI
The under graduate students of four medical colleges of Delhi viz., AIIMS, MAMC, LHMC and UCMS met Additional Secretary and Joint Secretary of Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and lodged their protest against the recent amendment in the PG Medical Education Regulations of MCI which makes one year rural posting in a PHC mandatory for becoming eligible to take admission in a PG course.
The students requested the Government to have a relook at the proposal and demanded that one year rural posting should not be made an eligibility criterion for admission to PG courses. They suggested that such posting should be made voluntary and the respective State Governments should take the responsibility for providing security to doctors posted in rural areas. They also proposed that the PHCs in rural areas should be inspected from time to time by an independent panel of doctors. The student representatives wanted them to be consulted in this matter as it concerns their career prospects. Shri Mishra and Dr. Mehta heard the students and informed them that the amendment in PG medical regulation was in line with the commitment of the Government to improve the availability of doctors in rural and remote areas of the country. Nonetheless they assured the students that the Government would examine their grievances and take necessary action.
