77 PG medical courses un-recognised
NAGPUR: The Maharashtra government has said that 77 post graduate medical courses out of 215 are not recognised by Medical Council of India.
Replying to a query posed in this regard by a senate member of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (Nasik), Dr Ratnakar Dhamankar, the MUHS recently stated that these post graduate courses were being conducted in 24 affiliated and non-aided institutions across the state.
Ironically, government institutions like Government Medical Colleges (GMCs) in Nagpur, Aurangabad, Nanded, Miraj, Grant Medical College in Mumbai, Indira Gandhi Medical College and other private medical colleges also conduct many courses not recognised by the apex medical body.
In Vidarbha, five medical colleges conduct MD courses in various subjects like - anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, microbiology, pathology, general medicine, paediatrics, anaesthesia, radiotherapy and biochemistry.
Of the 77 non-recognised courses by the MCI, 21 are being conducted by medical colleges in Vidarbha alone. For example, eight MD courses not recognised by the MCI in IGGMC, while biochemistry course being conducted by GMC has no MCI recognition, the state government has said. Private medical colleges like NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences (Nagpur) and SV Naik Government Medical College (Yavatmal) have no MCI recognition for all its PG courses.
The non-recognition of courses has put a serious question mark on the future of hundreds of students. Meanwhile, a senior MCI committee member told ToI that if a course is not recognised by MCI, students would not have MCI registration and couldn't practice anywhere.
