NMC 75 percent attendance rule for medical college faculties opposed by doctors

Opposing the National Medical Commission's (NMC) rule of insisting on 75% attendance for the medical college faculties, and resident doctors, the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors' Association (TNGDA) has recently written to the President of the Undergraduate Medical Education Board (UGMEB) of NMC.

The association highlighted that such a mandatory requirement regarding the percentage of attendance deprives the faculties and residents in medical colleges of their leave rights. Therefore, TNGDA urged NMC to withdraw the concerned rule and instead insist on the maximum limit of vacancy-days for each post and each cadre in all departments. The association has also opposed the enforcement of AEBAS.

As per the NMC rules, the undergraduate and postgraduate medical colleges imparting medical education must ensure that their faculties have 75% attendance of the total working days.
