Doctors with MS Traumatology and Surgery degrees eligible to pursue 3 MCh Specialities: NMC
New Delhi: Doctors holding degrees in MS Traumatology and Surgery can now pursue MCh courses in Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
According to the NEET SS 2024 bulletin released by the National Board of Examinations (NBE), MS in Traumatology and Surgery was initially not designated as a qualification for any super-speciality courses- MCh, or DrNB. However, candidates with MS/DNB (General Surgery) are eligible to apply for all three MCh courses, while those with MS/DNB (Otorhinolaryngology) can pursue MCh in Neurosurgery and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Now, MS Traumatology and Surgery has been included as one more eligible prior entry qualification for the 3 MCh specialities.
In a recent announcement regarding the inclusion of MS Traumatology and Surgery as an eligible qualification for these three MCh specialties, the National Medical Commission (NMC) stated,
"The Postgraduate Medical Education Board has decided to provisionally allow PG degree holders in Traumatology and Surgery to appear in NEET-SS 2024 for the M.Ch. specialties in Neurosurgery, Vascular Surgery, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery."
