The National MSc Medical Teachers' Association (NMMTA) has emerged as a pivotal force in shaping Indian medical education, particularly by advocating for the inclusion and recognition of non-MBBS educators with Medical MSc and PhD degrees.

Founded in 2013 as a registered, non-profit body based in Delhi, NMMTA represents educators and clinical scientists in non-clinical disciplines— Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and Microbiology—across 26 states. Its role is multifaceted, blending advocacy, academic enhancement, and policy influence to address systemic gaps and elevate the quality of medical education.

At its core, NMMTA champions the cause of non-MBBS educators, who have historically taught foundational sciences in medical colleges due to a shortage of MD-qualified faculty. This shortage persists, with 40–50% of non-clinical MD seats vacant annually, as MBBS graduates favor clinical specialties. NMMTA argues that its members, trained through rigorous Medical MSc programs (often mirroring MD curricula) and PhDs, are vital to filling this gap.

The association has fiercely opposed National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations—like the 2020 reduction in permissibility percentage of non-MBBS faculty (e.g., from 50% in Biochemistry and 30% to 15% in Anatomy and Physiology, and to 0% in Pharmacology and Microbiology) and the 2023 CBME guidelines barring them as MBBS examiners—claiming these moves threaten jobs and undervalue their expertise.

Through protests (e.g., Jantar Mantar 2017, 2018, 2023), legal battles (e.g., Delhi High Court & Supreme Court writs), and dialogues with the Health Ministry (e.g., regular meetings with Health Ministry), NMMTA has pushed for coexistence with medical faculty, not replacement, aligning with global norms where PhD holders thrive in preclinical education.

Beyond advocacy, NMMTA fosters academic excellence. It regularly hosts annual conferences for teachers and Clinical Scientists on various contemporary topics. Its newsletter and initiatives highlight members’ contributions, reinforcing their role in medical teaching, research, and diagnostics. NMMTA is committed to advancing Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), which demands small-group teaching and clinical integration—areas where faculty shortages hinder progress.

By maintaining a national database of qualified educators, NMMTA ensures visibility and support for its roughly 3,000 members. NMMTA’s influence on policy is evident in its persistent engagement with authorities.

It has sought representation in the National Medical Council, reinstation of https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se courses in the Schedule I and reversal of NMC’s restrictive and discriminative norms, arguing that such changes would stabilize staffing in India’s 850+ medical colleges, especially in rural areas.

While its efforts have met resistance—prompting accusations of “academic apartheid” against regulators—the association’s sustained pressure has kept the debate alive, occasionally swaying interim policy rollbacks (e.g., pre-2020 recruitment norms upheld pending court verdicts).

In essence, NMMTA weaves a critical thread into Indian medical education’s fabric by defending a marginalized yet essential workforce, bridging faculty shortages, and pushing for a collaborative, globally aligned system. Its work challenges the NMC’s clinician-centric tilt, advocating for a broader, more inclusive approach to training India’s future doctors.

@gandiv_arjun @BShajan @the_hindu MSc Medical teaching faculty have been existing since 1970s suddenly why there is awkwardness in accepting it. Infact many of the doctors who are taking these decisions would have been taught by MSc Medical faculty. Have they forgotten their past teaching. Can't understand.

[The MSc Medicine Association @TMMAOfficial]

Not a problem @htTweets
We understand how the system works.

Just know that, you will also become an accomplice in this witch hunt carried by the hate lobby in the doctors community by using the regulatory body such as @NMC_BHARAT which will destroy the medical education and health in this nation irreparably along with the loss of professional lives of 1000s of Medical Postgraduates who come from hard working humble families, meritorious, highly qualified talented pool in the medical field who have invested everything into this to become (medical teachers) what they are today.

PS: MSc Medical Postgraduates are Medical Graduates with varied UG backgrounds including MBBS, BDS, BPT, BHMS, BAMS, BScNursing, Bpharma, BVSc, BSc LS etc.

Racism, casteism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination are various manifestations of misanthropy, where individuals harbor, express, and practice hatred and prejudice against others. Such prejudices exist in every society across the world.

One such form of misanthropy in India's medical education system is the discrimination and bias against teachers with medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu. qualifications. This prejudice can manifest in varying degrees-subtly or overtly, practiced individually or collectively, expressed as private opinions or official policies, and promoted by individuals or institutions.

The competition for jobs, a superiority complex, and an inherent disdain for those outside one's own group are the primary factors driving this practice, which we term as 'academic apartheid.' Those who perpetuate it take pride in their actions, feel justified, and remain indifferent to the harm inflicted on their intended victims.

Regardless of the underlying logic, philosophies, or pretenses, we are convinced that "pride and prejudice" are the primary forces driving it.

NMMTA has released an informative and educational video explaining this issue in detail on its YouTube channel: https://t.co/XXZpg0g6EI

While a certain section of doctors lobby spewing venom and hatred against MSc Medical Postgraduate teachers and by using the regulatory authorities for their political agenda, to draft detrimental policies against those qualified from Medical Institutions who are in service of Medical Education in non-clinical branches for over 6 decades, and desperately wanting all the branches of medicine all for themselves even if they don’t find any knowledge and merit in such MBBS graduates who would opt for non clinical branches, and even if those MD qualified in these branches are not interested to attend duties, this is the current situation of health safety in this nation.

National Interests - last
Political Interests- first

Has been the slogan lately.

Without learning the humility, and the basics of medicine, if one becomes a doctor, sure they shall and can’t practice medicine ethically, morally and responsibly.

To all the biased and unbiased journalists and media. And also to our friends from medical community.

What is NMC Draft TEQ 2024 Regulations?

What is the issue of non medical teachers?

What is Transition Period that NMC is talking about?

Why doctors’ community is unhappy over the recent draft regulations?

To understand better about the issue of the so called non medical teachers with non medical qualifications in medical education,

Here is a question you:

You are given admission to study journalism, trained to become a journalist from an institution that is recognised to produce qualified journalists. And say you have been practising journalism for years and have many achievements for your credit. You have been the face of journalism.

And one day, if the daughters and sons of these institutions claim they are more journalists than you, want to replace you, even though when they don’t have the skills or the knowledge or the experience, and want to put you on a desk job or a clerical job, will you accept it? Do you think it is fair? And right!

If they decide and say you don’t get to practice journalism anymore because they regulate and can influence the journalism and they own the domain and the field, is that right?

The hate, the venom that is being spit by the doctors’ community on non-MBBS MSc Medical Postgraduate teachers who are practising their profession for more than 6 decades is similar.

Even though we are trained and graduated from Medical Institutions, hold Medical Qualifications, practising for years, just because we came from non-MBBS backgrounds, they want to disqualify us, they want us to give away our practice, our years of investment of professional training and experience, hard earned qualifications, PG and PhD.

While NMC without any brain and empathy speaks of Transition Period to show us door to exit, there are around more than 30 plus Medical Institutions conducting MSc Medical Postgraduate courses as on today including @aiims_newdelhi @OfficialJipmer @RMLDelhi . Though we appealed to these institutions to take a stand on this issue in the interest of their alumni and the students pursuing these courses currently, appealed to the authorities including National Medical Commission, none felt the need or the responsibility to act upon this.

What shall we do now?

Those who qualified in Anatomy to teach MBBS students now should go to burial grounds and do practice?

Those who are experts in Medical Biochemistry and Medical Microbiology qualified to teach MBBS, now should work in an unknown diagnostic lab in your area as a technician with 10 or 12k salary?

Those Physiologists who are qualified to teach MBBS students, now should become a biology teacher and start conducting tuitions for school kids? For 100s or 1000s of monthly fee.

You want us to start fresh? After investing our youth, potential years of a career and employment, and then to lose everything in Medical field and go out at these mid ages.

Where do we start?

@MoHFW_INDIA unless you make @NMC_Bharat an all inclusive office where at least 50% of the officials are from different backgrounds, you cannot make a wholesome health education system.
A system of the doctors, by the doctors, for the doctors cant see the welfare of the people

@MoHFW_INDIA @OfficeofJPNadda Shri. @JPNadda ji, Hon. @narendramodi , @PMOIndia

Kindly look into this and resolve the issue appropriately.

[The MSc Medicine Association @TMMAOfficial]

Unpopular opinion: National Medical Commission is a Political lobby of Doctors works for creating doctors with or without quality and for the benefit of such doctors even if it is at the cost of serious public health safety concern.

Dr B Srinivas, Secretary of @NMC_BHARAT says lowering percentile in NEET PG will not impact the quality of medical professionals.

He further adds, if such students fail in PG final year, they can only continue practising as MBBS doctors.

Quacks are not quacks if they are MBBS graduates.
