Do not conduct PG medical exam: SDPGA moves Dr MGR Medical University
Chennai: Considering the extraordinary situation for conducting Post-Graduate medical (PG medical) exams, the Government Service Doctors and Postgraduates Association (SDPGA) has recently written to the Vice-Chancellor of Tamil Nadu Dr M.G.R Medical University, seeking not to conduct examination for postgraduate medical students, scheduled in August and to award marks based on their internal assessments.
With the current pandemic situation, various states across the country have been mulling over conducting PG medical exams. Medical Dialogues had recently reported about the Health Care Reform doctor Association (HRDA) moving a PIL in Telangana High Court asking for a postponement of final PG examinations due to the COVID-19 outbreak citing that safety measures adopted by the authorities are sufficient for holding the exam.
