All India MD/MS Doctors association (AIMDDA) regrets the fall in medical and dental education standards

ALL INDIA MD MS DNB DOCTORS ASSOCIATION -AN ORGANIZATION/FORUM FOR APPROPRIATE MEDICAL EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND PRACTICE: OUR REQUEST FOR SYLLABI CHANGES.

Aimdda is short form for all India md ms dnb doctors association registered as an association in Karnataka, at Bangalore. Our esteemed Members believe in democratic expression of ideas for furthering professional advances in medical education and research. Medically educated seniors should be given respect, and will earn respect according to Indian tradition, as well as their ability to produce papers or stimulate researching youngsters. Seniors will be a guiding force for research, and all those years of experience good or bad cannot be deemed waste or passé. We continue to respect seniors among medical as well as non-medical teachers.

We do not hate anyone or believe in hating anyone, except that we disbelieve in allowing a equal teaching hand to MSc (Nonmedical )educated persons as we disbelieve in their ability to understand or practice concepts of medicine, surgery or specialties for the simple reason that they have not been trained in our niche areas where we excel. We do not believe their competence in our niche areas as they have not been exposed to medical problems as best as we have been .They never have been examined for clinical subjects or trained as rigorously as we have been exposed to during 5 and ½ years of our MBBS course. We feel we have greater rights to practice Medicine as we have been awarded MD degrees or DNB and diploma degrees by hard work in medical clinics and our experience cannot be comparable with MSc courses.

In India’s parallel teacher system, of allowing Msc’s to function as medical college teachers due to a artificial shortage of medical college teachers we have been aggrieved by the health ministry and medical council of India. This mismanagement has gone unquestioned and we are as an association gathering numerical strength to question the basis of allowing inefficiently trained MSc to function as medical college teachers in certain applied medical college departments, apparently in the guise of filling shortages in faculty.

Lack of participation of forming public opinion about maintaining quality medical education is a result of general corruption of ideals which has happened in Indian medical education system, and needs radical correction, originating from within the system, involving all stake holders, public, doctors, medical college managements as well as regulatory agencies like ICMR, IMA, MCI, health ministries and Doctors associations like all India md ms dnb doctors association,AMBI and similar associations. We actively seek participation of faculty in upgrading our syllabi as a first step, with the help of all stake holders, to suit national as well as international requirements in support of medical standard up gradation.

Please forward syllabus changes required in your respective subjects so that we can seek to clarify/liaise with MCI and health ministry, in all possible media so that these prime movers of medical education in India can bring about quality changes in our pre independence dated syllabi. We can seek to weed our syllabi out undesirable /old nonmedical elements .Medical education is also like a software and needs continuous up gradation, and is exposed to new challenges now and then, hence needs routine syllabi revisions. We request revisions of syllabi to help upgrade our medical ed system to global standards.
