NMMTA has never paused, never stopped.

We remain hopeful that the need to struggle for opportunity with dignity will soon be behind us. While some challenges persist, we trust they will be resolved in due course.

We are not here to take anyone’s job. We have been an integral part of medical education for decades-supportive, committed, and collaborative. It’s time to stop undermining our contributions.

Since its inception in 2013, the association has been actively working for its members. NMMTA will continue to grow, advocate for the rights and recognition of teachers with medical MSc./Ph.D. qualifications, and uphold the values of sincerity and excellence in medical education.

[NMMTA @NMMTA_Assn]

In the rapidly expanding landscape of medical education, newly established colleges face acute faculty shortages.

While established institutions often maintain a stable pool of educators, new medical colleges-especially privately owned ones-struggle to fill essential teaching positions.

Government-run colleges frequently circumvent this issue by transferring faculty from recognized institutions to new ones in time for NMC inspections.

In contrast, many private colleges have resorted to hiring "ghost faculties" who appear only during inspections, further exacerbating the problem.

In regions like Rajasthan, the situation is particularly dire, with some departments staffed by only one or two individuals.

This severe shortage not only hampers the quality of education but also forces students to rely on the internet for self-study, raising the unsettling question: Is medical education gradually shifting towards an online mode?

These glaring deficiencies are often ignored by non-clinical doctors and their associations, whose longstanding biases against non-doctor educators contribute significantly to this artificial scarcity.

Qualified teachers holding medical https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se./Ph.D. qualifications are more than capable of addressing these gaps and ensuring that students receive a comprehensive, high-quality education.

#NMMTA calls for an end to this politics of 'pride and prejudice' and concentrate on the real issues that plague India's #medicaleducation.

The National MSc Medical Teachers' Association (NMMTA) is deeply concerned about the National Medical Commission's (NMC) structure and policies. We believe that the NMC is showing bias towards doctors, marginalizing non-MBBS educators and overlooking their vital contributions to medical education.

We highlight several critical issues, including discriminatory policies, inconsistent decision-making, lack of transparency, and the failure to enforce minimum standards in medical colleges. We also point out the unscientific faculty criteria, which are leading to serious workforce shortages.

We call for a complete overhaul of the NMC to ensure fair representation, transparency in policymaking, and equal opportunities for all qualified medical educators. Every qualified teacher deserves a fair chance to contribute to the growth and quality of medical education in India.

According to media reports, 80% of India's medical colleges fail to meet the minimum requirements set by the @NMC_BHARAT, yet continue to operate.

One of the key issues is a shortage of faculty, which significantly hampers the quality of #medicaleducation.

This problem is prevalent in many states, especially in #Rajasthan.

Alarmingly, a notorious organization is exacerbating the situation by pressuring the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) to either maintain or worsen the faculty shortage.

This is an example of how the politics of 'pride and prestige' is damaging the state of our medical education.

@MeRajGovt @GajendraKhimsar must eliminate the influence of such detrimental individuals and organizations within the state's DME to ensure vacant faculty positions are promptly filled.

Rather than unnecessarily targeting teachers with medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu. qualifications, this association should focus on addressing the real shortcomings that plague medical education.

"Your pride in yourself and prejudice towards others won’t make you great; it’s leading you nowhere. Instead, focus on productive efforts to tackle the many issues that need improvement."

NMMTA's Press Release

[NMMTA @NMMTA_Assn]

A new TEQ draft has been released by the NMC's PG board, rather than the usual UG board. We are not surprised. While the MCI's BOG was kind, considerate, and rational, the NMC has been outright hostile and unsympathetic. What else can be expected from it?

It is said that a nation is judged by how it treats its minorities. The same applies to the @NMC_BHARAT. Just observe the disdain and apathy with which it treats us, the minority stakeholders.

Despite being an integral part of medical education for several decades since the 1970s, we are still considered outsiders, with separate rules imposed upon us—each iteration worsening the situation.

Yes, there are many objections. When we request changes from the NMC, we are told the matter is sub judice. However, the NMC exercises the freedom to modify regulations as it pleases, without regard for whether the issue is sub judice.

It is true that the NMC is an autonomous body, but the NMC Act clearly states that the @MoHFW_INDIA remains its governing authority. Despite this, the NMC has the audacity to overrule explicit orders from the ministry and continues to adopt a hostile stance that contradicts the government's position.

While the NMC operates more like a doctors' welfare association, the union government has a responsibility to protect the interests of all stakeholders. Given our lack of faith in the NMC, we implore the ministry to address our concerns directly.

The feedback on the TEQ 2024 draft is being submitted. The NMC has always ignored our feedback—will this time be any different?

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

What's the reason behind bringing new regulations by @NMC_BHARAT? They are unable to handle the medical education of India.They know @NMMTA_Assn is right, There is a huge faculty crunch.@MoHFW_INDIA it is better NOT to have unworthy doctors in lieu of qualified medical MSc/PhDs.

@TMMAOfficial के अध्यक्ष आदरणीय कांबली साहब,आप qr शेयर कर दीजिए मैं उस पर 500 रु दे दूं आपको ताकि आप सुप्रीम कोर्ट की फीस दे सकें।
आपने कोर्ट में फीस नहीं भरी इसलिए केंद्र सरकार को नोटिस इश्यू नहीं हुआ।
आखिर क्यों आपने 500 रु नहीं भरे?
क्यों msc (m) वालो का मजाक बना रहे हो?

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

We demand to @ugc_india @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI to include MSc. Medical courses in the Subject list of NET examination. How can these bodies Overlook these subjects for so many years must be investigated @PMOIndia .

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

Recently it was observed that a professional association indulged in one sided mud slinging with NMMTA & ACBM. So as a responsible custodian it is my duty to bring some facts in front of you. The discussion will be with reference to compendium of UGC regulations 1957 – 2023.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

UGC identifies & recognizes our course as MSc (Medical Anatomy/ Biochemistry/ Physiology/ Microbiology /pharmacology) . We failed find any course as MSc Medicine . @MoHFW_INDIA ,@NMMTA_Assn

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

MSc Medical Courses were recognized by MCI as per IMC Act. but they silently removed it from the list by deletion. Though UGC continues to recognize the course and thousands of Medical MSc /PhD teachers are working in medical colleges as Faculty members as per NMC/MCI guideline.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

When it comes to duration of the courses, there is ambiguity, some are 2 years & one is 3 years. So Medical colleges run this with variable time line between 2-3.5 years. which i unjust and @NMMTA_Assn advocates all MSc (Medical) courses to be of 3 years duration as MD courses

@RahulGandhi can we #hope that you will look into it .

@RahulGandhi removing them will increase the void. Who is going to suffer? The nation is going to suffer.
Conspiracy to remove science from medical science cannot be accepted.

Many ears went deaf, many eyes got closed, when we brought this horrific picture.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

@RahulGandhi many of these professors, associate professors, assistant professors are at their late to mid career level. Can you count how many lives are associated & going to be destroyed? . Most of the medical colleges are understaffed ,
#Professionalgenocide

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

@RahulGandhi these basic science teachers are well equipped and did well to uphold the medical education without appreciation. Be it from previous governments and obviously present. You create a pool of academicians in thousands for years and throw them out .
