MCI BOG nod to new formula for TEQ rules in case of New Super-specializations
Advertisement
New Delhi: With the advancement in medical science, the era of super-specialisation is now here. The Medical Council of India, taking cognisance of the growing nature of super-specialisation is also trying to incorporate new PG and SS courses and medical colleges are now moving to offer these courses to create a highly qualified medical workforce.
However, with the introduction of new specialisation courses, the challenge comes for a medical college starting with the super-specialisation in finding faculty to teach such a course. MCI requirements call for the teachers to have particular qualifications as well as training experience in order to be qualified as a faculty for that particular discipline.
Now, with disciplines and specialisations which are being introduced for the first time in the country, having a prerequisite Teacher qualification for that discipline is indeed a difficult task. Providing a solution to this problem, the Medical Council of India Board of Governors, recently gave their nod to a proposal that calls for Consideration of in-house training as experience for the appointment of faculty members in newly introduced super speciality courses
