Steps to improve medical education in India
1. First: Increase the expenditure on Healthcare and Education in India. A GDP of 1 % is woefully inadequate.
2. Nationalize private medical colleges that do not maintain a required standard.
2(a) Increase the remuneration of MCI officials so that they may carry out their duties without being tempted by bribes and so that the quality monitoring of all colleges is of the required standard.
3. Rural Community Level hospitals need to be turned into tertiary care centers and into medical colleges eventually , so that they are able to turn out an increasing number of specialist doctors and thus also increase favourably the doctor: population ratio in under served areas.
4. The pay of doctors working in government institutions must be high with tax exemptions for those working in rural areas.
4(a) The pay of interns should be made equal or at least equal to the starting pay of an IIT graduate / an Engineering graduate with a campus placement. This impetus will encourage them to work sincerely and honestly (as many of them already do).
4(b) Doctors working at PHC levels should be provided with all the basic amenities such as clean living quarters, and a continuous supply of water and electricity. This would help to negate some of the reasons why doctors do not want to go and work in a rural setup. Along with these, they should be assured of a pay equal to that of a doctor working in an urban area.
5.The Ministry of Health should be placed in the hands of doctors who have a degree in Public Health and have had at least 10 years of clinical experience.
6. Standardization of the tuition fees of the remaining private colleges, which have been excelling and maintaining standards, to achieve a balance between affordability for the target student population and financial viability for the colleges themselves.
7. why should reservations be allowed in the critical and hallowed field of medical education? Certain allowances and scholarships may be given to financially underprivileged students irrespective of Caste for admission to MBBS only. Allowing reservations in Postgraduate courses for doctors is not only ridiculous but seriously jeopardizes the health of our country in a direct way. It is clear that such practices are followed to gain favour among the electorate.
8. Allowing the smooth execution of the NEET-UG/PG entrance examinations. Students who are children of Central bank employees and whose parents serve in the Armed Forces do not have a domicile certificate of any state. Moreover the standards of examination differ tremendously from state to state. Why should mediocre students of one state be allowed to do the very same degree refused to better students belonging to another state because it does not have as many colleges? The other points of contention that favour a common entrance test a nationwide standardization and a higher degree of transparency.
8(a) For achieving the goal of a common entrance test at the UG level in order to gain admission into an MBBS course, Education should be struck off the State list, and made a Central subject so that everyone may be educated with a uniform syllabus. On the same note, improvements in public school education must be made so that the requirement of additional, and highly exhaustive coaching classes may be made redundant.
Many more suggestions are welcome.
9. To convert the two year diploma seats offered through md/ms entrance exams and make it into a 3 year MD/MS course.
9(b) to integrate DNB and MD/MS courses ( if they are the same level as the Supreme Court says they are , why do we need different names)
