NMC to do away with positions of Tutor, Demonstrator, Registrar, bring them all under Senior Resident nomenclature
New Delhi: Aiming at reducing the confusion regarding different designations of residents doctors including 'Tutor', 'Registrar' etc. the National Medical Commission (NMC) has planned to do away with such terms and bring all of them under a common nomenclature.
"The existing posts of Tutors/Demonstrators/Registrars in all the Departments shall be re designated as Senior Residents," NMC, the apex medical body has clarified in the draft Teachers Eligibility Qualifications Regulations 2021 (TEQ).
The provisions of terms like 'Tutor', 'Demonstrator', or 'Registrar' were previously there in the "Minimum Qualifications for Teachers in Medical Institutions Regulations, 1998".
However, as the usage of separate terms for referring to different posts and designations were making confusions, the new TEQ regulations have decided to do away with such terms and bring them under the single nomenclature of "Senior Residents".
While commenting on the matter, Dr. M K Ramesh, the President of the PG Medical Education Board of the National Medical Commission told Medical Dialogues, "We thought we would give them all a common designation in order to remove the confusions regarding the posts and bring them under a single nomenclature to simply things."
