Diploma Doctors Now Eligible for Medical College Faculty under NMC Draft TEQ 2024
Years after the erstwhile Medical Council of India (MCI) restricted the postgraduate medical diploma holders from joining medical colleges as faculties, the National Medical Commission (NMC), which replaced the erstwhile MCI, has proposed relaxation for them in the recently released Draft Teachers Eligibility Qualifications (TEQ) 2024 Regulations.
As per the recently released NMC Draft TEQ 2024 Regulations, Diploma holders appointed as Senior Residents before 08.06.2017 and continuously working as Senior Residents in the same institute shall be eligible for the post of Assistant Professor. Similarly, the Draft also allowed Specialist/Medical Officers in a Government Medical College for six years to qualify for the post of Assistant Professor.
