Uttarakhand Medical Council Recommends Suspension of 113 Specialists, Scrapping of Degrees
Ironically, the state government had itself sent the MBBS doctors to UP for acquiring the specialist degrees without taking note of Medical Council of India (MCI) recognition status of the colleges
Dehradun: Taking cognizance of 'unrecognized' Post-Graduate degrees acquired from medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh, the Uttarakhand State Medical Council has recommended the suspension of its 113 specialists doctors.
Moreover, during a recent meeting, the Uttarakhand Medical council directed Health Department to "scrap their degrees or allow these specialist doctors to work" only in Uttarakhand as a specialist and nowhere else reports TOI. In other states, they may be allowed to work just as an MBBS doctor, despite their studies.
According to the state medical council, all these doctors had done post-graduation from different medical colleges in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh, under state government's quota. These courses, however, do not carry the Medical Council of India recognition
