How long will Medical MSc/PhD face one sided discrimination...years in court..and twisted tales of NMC to tarnish our reputation..inspite of youtube classrooms conduction, dismal availability of faculty..we r on whims nd fancies of NMC.@JPNadda @OfficeofJPNadda @MoHFW_INDIA

[Shomi Anand @ShomiAnand74900]

@NMMTA_Assn Why is NMC after a handful of Msc PhDs in the country. These minorities always uplifted the load of medical education but were never supported. Now NMC is being lobbied by a few scrupulous selfish people who are trying their best to eliminate Msc PhD.

[Dr. Rohan Krishnan @DrRohanKrishna3]

@JPNadda Ji, your Ministry is allowing on Paper medical colleges to treat the citizens of the country.

Be it Bihar, Bengal, Rajasthan, MP, Karnataka, Tamil Naidu…. !!!!

Only the name changes, Situation remains the same!!!!!!!

Corruption or ignorance????????

@RemaNagarajan @MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia From the inception of @NMC_BHARAT India is suffering the faculty shortage due to arbitrary policies. @NMMTA_Assn has pointed out the same several times. Be it judiciary or Government or public all fall prey to God Syndrome of non clinical doctor associations. @MoHFW_INDIA jaago.

The Crisis in India's Medical Education: Faculty Shortages and Systemic Issues

Has #medicaleducation in India become a scam? The rapid expansion of medical colleges by an overtly ambitious government has led to concerns about faculty shortages. While infrastructure can be purchased, quality faculty cannot.

Faculty shortages remain a significant challenge. The prevalence of fraudulent practices, such as ghost faculty who appear only during inspections, is a major issue. In government-owned medical colleges, faculty members are often shuffled between institutions just to meet NMC inspection requirements, leading to compromised educational quality.

Many newly established medical colleges, especially those in remote, rural, and hilly regions, struggle with inadequate faculty strength. Approximately 80% of India's medical colleges fail to meet NMC's minimum requirements (https://t.co/i9x3ckif2G). These deficiencies significantly impair the quality of medical education, yet they remain largely ignored.

Instead of addressing these systemic issues, the association of non-clinical doctors has disproportionately focused on eliminating efficient educators with medical MSc/PhD qualifications. As the report highlights, many medical colleges in Rajasthan face severe faculty shortages, yet a questionable association has pressured the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) into enforcing exclusionary policies that prevent the hiring of qualified medical MSc/PhD teachers.

These misplaced priorities have exacerbated the artificial shortage of educators, driven by outdated notions of professional hierarchy and prejudice. The Rajasthan government must recognize these flaws and take corrective measures.

@PMOIndia and @MoHFW_INDIA must intervene to implement rational policies, free from sentiment-driven biases, ensuring that India's medical education system prioritizes quality over entrenched discrimination. @NMC_BHARAT must reassess its stance to support a more inclusive and effective faculty recruitment process.

Just as is the practice worldwide, medical education in India has long been supported by two categories of teachers in basic and non-clinical subjects: those with MBBS/MD and those with medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu. This system has been in place since the 1970s. For the uninitiated, MD and medical https://t.co/Uvfzb3I6se courses are similar in structure, conducted in medical colleges following the same curriculum, syllabus, infrastructure, faculty, and teaching methodologies. Both qualifications equip individuals to take up teaching roles in medical education.

It is an undeniable fact that, barring a few exceptions, most MBBS graduates aspire to pursue postgraduate studies in clinical subjects. However, many are compelled to opt for non-clinical disciplines out of desperation and frustration due to the limited availability of clinical seats. Each year, 50–90% of MD seats in non-clinical subjects remain vacant despite measures such as reducing the eligibility percentile to zero, waiving tuition fees, and offering incentives.

With the rapid establishment of new medical colleges, there is an acute shortage of faculty, particularly in remote, rural, and hilly regions. This is where candidates with medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu qualifications play a crucial role in bridging the gap. Many medical colleges function with only one or two faculty members in non-clinical subjects, inevitably leading to a decline in the quality of education. Opposing their inclusion in medical education out of misplaced "pride and prejudice" is both unreasonable and detrimental.

It must be emphasized that merely holding a particular academic qualification does not guarantee the ability to provide quality education. Teaching is an art and a skill that depends on the individual's capability, not just their degree. There are excellent and subpar teachers in both categories, making any attempt at self-certification inherently flawed.

The Union Ministry recognizes these realities and has, therefore, taken a clear stance that medical education must continue to include teachers with medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu qualifications in non-clinical subjects. At its core, this debate is about competition for jobs and 'pride & prejudice', where a section of the medical community seeks to exclude non-doctor educators—even in the face of an undeniable faculty crisis.

Given that medical teachers far outnumber their medical https://t.co/9wPITOLBzu counterparts, their collective opposition is naturally louder. However, sheer numerical strength does not equate to a justifiable argument. The overwhelming number of representations against us should not be misconstrued as a reflection of popular consensus—it is ethically, mathematically and statistically misleading.

It is time to prioritize the needs of medical education and students over exclusionary policies. Addressing faculty shortages pragmatically, rather than yielding to unfounded biases, is the only way forward.

Fact is
Medical MSc PhD people are produce of reputed Medical Colleges & integral part of Medical Education.
Pre para doctor community stop crying foul.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

Every Medical MSc/PhD teacher must tag their parent institute and ask them to take responsibility and stand in solidarity.

Has anyone noticed draft TEQ 2024 has silently omitted the provision for #Biostatistics .
@NMC_BHARAT यह पीठ में छुरी मारना कब बंद करोगे जी?
@MoHFW_INDIA if you want to remove non MBBS people from medical Colleges do it in every class. It will give lot of jobs to unworthy MBBS

[Dr. Sadguna @GoudKampar77812]

@NMMTA_Assn How are medical education standards lowered in the country?
by reducing the percentile of neet pg to get admission
Or
By eliminating medical MSc and phd qualified from the system.

NMC should give rationale answer

Unmasking the Truth: The PR Spin Against https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 Teachers in Medical Education

One of the oldest PR tactics is to distort facts, present a one-sided narrative, or suppress the truth. Unfortunately, this is exactly what’s happening today. Many journalists fail to fact-check before publishing, blindly pushing the story handed to them.

🚨 Here are the facts everyone must know, especially those unaware:

📌 Two Categories of Teachers in Non-Clinical Medical Education:
There are MBBS/MD and https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 teachers. Both teach Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, and Microbiology.

📌 https://t.co/Uvfzb3IEhM & MD Courses are Nearly Identical:
Both are taught in the same medical colleges, using the same syllabus, curriculum, resources, and faculty.

📌 Decades-Old, Globally Accepted Practice:
M.Sc-qualified teachers have been part of medical education since the 1970s, not just in India but worldwide-up to 90% of non-clinical faculty in US medical colleges hold https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 qualifications.

📌 MBBS Graduates Prefer Clinical Specialties:
Most MBBS graduates opt for clinical PG seats, leaving 50-90% of non-clinical PG seats vacant every year-even after reducing cutoffs to zero percentile, waiving tuition fees, and offering hefty stipends.

📌 https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 Teachers Fill the Shortage Gap:
With persistent shortages of MD-qualified teachers in non-clinical subjects, https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 teachers have always stepped in to ensure medical education continues.

📌 The Real Reason for the Attacks? Competition & Superiority Complex:
Some in the non-clinical doctor community fear competition and have lobbied aggressively to discredit https://t.co/9wPITOM9p2 teachers—despite both being qualified for teaching roles.

📌 The Ultimate PR Hitjob:
The best way to eliminate a competitor is to discredit them—spread lies, call them unqualified, and push a fake narrative. But these tactics won’t fool the Union Government, which understands the reality.

💡 Our hope lies with the government @MoHFW_INDIA, which must ensure minority stakeholders are protected from systemic exclusion. @JPNadda

[NMMTA @NMMTA_Assn]

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

[Maninder @manvikamontz]

@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.

[Arjun Maitra, PhD @gandiv_arjun]

@BShajan & @the_hindu
A half cooked article with a biased view & no research. Medical MSc/PhD teachers are teaching in Medical colleges from 1970s. It's NOT a two year old provision. Converting a press release into an article? Is it the standard of journalism? NOT EXPECTED

[Priyaranjan Lenka @prlenka1]

@gandiv_arjun @NMC_BHARAT @NMMTA_Assn @MoHFW_INDIA @NMC_BHARAT stop stepmotherly attitude towards @NMMTA_Assn #medicalmsc_teachers by new regulations every year. @MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia #save_medicalmsc_teacher #give_justice we don't have money & time to run behind authorities & court every time. #harassment

[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.
