Protest on the ground<\/strong><\/p>\nIn Madurai for instance, the members of the Tamil Nadu Government Doctors\u2019 Association (TNGDA), IMA(Madurai branch) and medical students formed a human chain on Tuesday against the proposal. Another point that they contested was the formation of the National Medical Commission by usurping the MCI.<\/p>\n
According to the protesters, the proposal is unfair to the students who already have to undergo multiple exams before getting their degree. U.K Kandha Kumar, the students\u2019 council president of Madurai Medical College poses an important question which is probably on many minds: \u201cOur examinations and syllabus are recognized by the government. If there is a need for another examination, is the government undermining its own system?\u201d<\/p>\n
P. Jayakumar, a PG student at MMC criticized the government move to allow AYUSH doctors to practice allopathy in certain circumstances. \u201cOn the one hand, government is producing \u2018qualified quacks.\u2019 On the other, it wants to filter qualified doctors, when there is already a huge shortage of doctors,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
According to K Senthil, President, TNGDA, the proposal would be a blow to the quality of medical profession. His concern is that the move would benefit medical education\u2019s privatization and centralization of power with bureaucrats and politicians, with doctors having practically no say.<\/p>\n
Voices of dissent<\/strong><\/p>\nDr Arun Kumar Agarwal, former president of Delhi Medical Council also expressed his opposition to the idea of the exit exam even though he is in favour of the 50% reservation idea.<\/p>\n
According to Dr Bipin Batra, the executive director of the National Board of Examinations, the reservation idea doesn\u2019t change the supply of total seats available for medical graduates. But Dr Batra did point out that the reservation would ensure that the state government would augment their specialist cadre.<\/p>\n
Dr Manish C Prabhakar, president, Indian Medical Association Young Doctors\u2019 Wing is someone who is opposed to the proposal. According to him, yet another reservation category is unnecessary since most states already have a 50% reservations for PG seats for medical officers in place. If 50% PG seats are reserved for medical officers by a state government, only 50% remaining seats would be available to medical graduates.<\/p>\n
Prabhakar is of the opinion that the move would be detrimental to medial graduates in general and unreserved category students in particular.<\/p>\n
He points out some key areas that the government should look into to improve medical landscape in the country: strengthening medical education regulatory bodies, improving medical education infrastructure, making hospitals more safe for doctors and improving rural health infrastructure.<\/p>\n
