MCI finally awakens and how ( Part 1 )


Finally some good news from Medical council of India.
Is it because of the talk of dissolving the MCI and forming a new body, we never know, but I think it has rattled MCI.

Some initiatives which should be appreciated are :

MCI has removed the main bottleneck by recognizing the post-graduation and other degrees of 5 specific countries viz, Us, UK, Australia , Canada and New Zealand. These move brings back 5000 NRI doctors back to India. They can tech here in Govt or Private colleges and hospitals. They can setup their own medical colleges too. MCI has went a step ahead and recognized even the working experience in the foreign land. So the professor in UK will be a professor in India too.
These is a great move in the sense that not only it brings the great pool of advanced knowledge and experience in India but also the number of treating doctors. Secondly it will definitely increase the competition ( Healthy ) among various hospitals.

    hello my dear fren.... There are already so many doctors from these countries in india .they are practising,operating doing all type of work here ,even performing surgeries on the PM .They are well recognised and i am not sure whether such move would be a great help . Instead govt should work on the development of indian institutes , develope more AIIMS like centres, strengten the health insurance sector , more and more research work . that will attract good doctors to return to india. do we have a system for research,trials in india as in US? i hope Govt would develope the system and infrastructure for work in india....

    Dear Dr. Atul,

    Do not know why; I have a gut feeling that you work in a multi-specialty hospital or are a super-specialist. I may be wrong though.

    I just cannot help myself but laugh out loud with the suggestion of opening up more big ivory-towers of diseases.

    When the UK, the USA, Canada and Australia are thriving on GPs, we Indians having a traditional mindset and not willing to change are stuck with the concept of opening up more bigger hospitals.

    Bhore committee's recommendations are yet to be implemented fully!

    When the developed countries are crying for primary care (so is appealing the WHO), we Indians are typical in showing our attitude. And, this is no fault of ours. We developed that way.

    In this NEJM article, the role of primary care has been reemphasized:

    http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/360/26/2693?ijkey=5d9cd9db24300204310ea7b18ade019e4787111f&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha

    The need of the hour is family practitioners or the GPs in India to serve the mass.

    I firmly agree your advice of strengthening the 'existing' health sector.

    And the need to have "our very own Indian data". Blindly following has so far kept us in the dark.

    Regards,
    Bipin

Maharastra Medical Council CME Guidelines

Medical Science is dynamic and there is no end of learning for a doctor. This is in essence the concept of continuing medical education (CME). Tremendous advances are taking place in the field of medical sciences, which are continuously changing the concept, approach to management and the outcome of several diseases. The rapid pace of these advances makes it mandatory for doctors to keep themselves updated so that they may apply this information to their patient’s well being and improve the quality of care rendered to them. A doctor must never be satisfied with his/her current level of proficiency and must always strive to enhance his/her competence and knowledge by keeping abreast with the latest developments in the field. The Central Government of India has notified the new Ethics regulations in the Gazette of India on April 16, 2002, provides that “ A Physician should participate in professional meetings as part of Continuing Medical Education Programmes, for at least 30 hours ever
