Mumbai: Maharashtra Medical Council has written to 21 doctors, asking them to no longer display their so-called postgraduate qualifications obtained from University of Seychelles American Institute of Medicine (USAIM), as the degree is not recognised by Medical Council of India.
Speaking to Medical Dialogues, Dr Kishore Taori, President, Maharashtra Medical Council informed," We have asked 21 doctors to omit a so-called postgraduate degree from USAIM as a part of their qualifications as the degree is dubious in nature. All the doctors have M.B.B.S degrees from recognised Medical colleges in India, and had enrolled into a so-called PG course from this institute,which is unrecognised by the council. All the doctors have agreed to cooperate."
