IMA said the original Medical Council of India (MCI) was functioning with democratically elected state representatives who always voiced for the collective consciousness of state welfare, however as the National Medical Commission (NMC) is full of nominated people, it has slowly excluding all state governments to be away from the administration of medical education.

New Delhi: Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday opposed the Draft Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations 2021 and said it is against the autonomy and envisioned role of the states in working towards public health as the right of the citizens.

IMA says with draft regulation all the medical seats will be filled by the central government and state governments will have no role in this and demanded the existing system of admission and selection criteria must continue for the PG seats.

"In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 57 of the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has published the Draft Postgraduate Medical Education Regulations 2021, which is against the autonomy and envisioned role of the States in working towards the Public Health as the right of the citizens," IMA said in a statement.

IMA said the original Medical Council of India (MCI) was functioning with democratically elected state representatives who always voiced for the collective consciousness of state welfare, however as the NMC is full of nominated people, it has slowly excluding all state governments to be away from the administration of medical education.

As of date, the broad specialty postgraduation course admission is through PG NEET and 50 per cent of admission is done by the all-India quota by the Director-General of Health Services (DGHS) and the rest 50 per cent seats were admitted by the state government as per the state social justice norms with NEET PG marks by the Directorate of Medical Education of the respective State.

"But now the draft regulation says: There shall be common counselling for admission in all Medical Educational Institutions to all Postgraduate Broad -Specialty courses (Diploma/ MD/ MS) on the basis of merit list of the National Exit Test and to all Postgraduate Super- Specialty courses (DM/MCh) on the basis of merit list of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test," the statement reads.

IMA said it is important to continue the existing system of admission and selection criteria because the state medical colleges are staffed and managed by the budget of state government and when not even 50 per cent of seats are earmarked for the respective state, the maintenance and running of the institution will lose its charm and priority.

It further said the language barrier and social contact will negatively render their services because of getting admission in non-native states and the compassion, empathy, and community connections are amplified when students are getting in touch with their own known people, instead of people and society not connected with them.

"The public health system of the state will be jeopardized as the students will not have to serve locally after postgraduation and will go to their native state," IMA said.

NMC is still in a dilemma and has not given any clarity on the proposed NEXT exam. However, this notification says, when a student writes his exam, the mark he scores will be valid for three years and he can rewrite the exam only after three years, IMA said while adding that this is a great injustice step to the students.

"As it has proposed to conduct the NEXT exams in 2023, the NMC should come out with the pattern and type of examination after having wider democratic consultation with the student's body, faculty, States, and largest professional body IMA," it said.

IMA in principle welcomes the District Residency; however, making it for three months period will result in overcrowding and impact the works in the Medical College departments. Even for non-clinical postgraduates spending three months in the District Hospital will hamper the continuous theory and practical training. IMA demand, the training period in district hospital shall be reduced to one month.

The revised proposals for the certain broad specialities courses to multiple super specialty options are proposed without due considerations of the students' opinion and often changing this like this will create uncertainty and heartburn for the students preparing for the NEET SS exams. Equally the move to open up a dual degree in postgraduation, and candidates doing simultaneous Ph.D. are good to postulate, but in reality, will jeopardize the clinical acumen and involvement of postgraduates inpatient care, the statement reads.

It further slammed NCM for being a silent spectator and said that it is now running into a nonperforming body and playing the role of a silent spectator when the issues of interns, medical students, and also the registered doctors are raised.

"NMC fails to respond to the death of 1,589 doctors in COVID-19 nor issues of violence on doctors. However, they want to make inroads of mixopathy and centralizing powers at the cost of states," IMA said in a statement.

NMC shall withdraw this anti-federal, anti-student and anti-democratic, anti-patent care, and public health draft bill and try to initiate dialogue with the stakeholders to understand the ground reality and do course correction to ensure uniform standards of education is provided and equally uniform pattern of the scale of pay, stipend and facilities are provided to interns, faculties and residents too, it added.
