GMERS to prioritise non-practising doctors for teaching posts
Doctors
Ahmedabad: Observing that medical teachers who are not involved in private practice tend to focus more on teaching and provide more attention to students, the Gujarat Medical Education and Research Society (GMERS) has decided to give preference to non-practising doctors in the upcoming recruitment process.
While the 390 vacant teaching posts across 13 medical colleges have currently been filled by GMERS with practising doctors, the society has decided to prioritise hiring non-practising teachers in the next recruitment drive to improve teaching quality.
Of the 390 vacant posts, 33 are in General Medicine, 29 in General Surgery, 16 in Anatomy, 17 in Physiology, and 17 in Biochemistry. These 13 colleges are located in cities including Sola, Gandhinagar, Valsad, Junagadh, Himmatnagar, Patan, Navsari, Godhra, Rajpipla, Morbi, Porbandar, and Narmada.

The decision comes after senior GMERS officials observed that non-practising medical teachers give more attention to students when compared to those engaged in private practice. This observation led to the decision to give preference to non-practising doctors during recruitment.
