This criterion includes such as four research papers to be published in standard indexed medical journals.( Besides, two papers for being promoted from assistant professor to associate professor level, along with two research papers for promotion from associate professor to professor level). In addition, the doctor needs to possess a teaching experience of at least three years or more, for getting promotion from associate professor to professor level.
The DME implied that some senior doctors did not fulfill the criteria-more specifically the research paper publication by August 31, 2015. Following which they were given time to publish by March 31, 2016. The health secretary was informed of these pending promotions. Now, the MCI inspection team will be informed that the associate professors are actually eligible for promotion as professors and their names are on the list.
"The name list of doctors due for promotion will be send to the General Administration Department (GAD). GAD will hold department promotional committee meeting, which will give the green signal for bringing out the final promotion list based on fulfilment of criteria, seniority, available posts and vacancies. Then the GO of doctors' promotion and postings would come out. A few professors working in Telangana but of AP origin will also be posted in AP," said Dr Subba Rao to TOI.
