PG Medical students stage protest
Service postgraduate students of medicine staged a protest at the
Directorate of Medical Education on Monday, following a protest on
Friday at the Health and Family Welfare Training Centre in Egmore where
counselling for the appointment of assistant professors to medical
colleges was in progress, a PG student said.
The postgraduates submitted a letter to the Director of Medical Education detailing their demands. They wanted counselling for service PGs for postings to be conducted before the Medical Recruitment Board’s written recruitment; direct walk-in interviews for general/speciality postings to be abolished; all temporarily appointed candidates’ posts to be showed as vacancies during the counselling for service PGs.
Later on Monday, the service PG students met the Health Secretary too, one of them said. Director of Medical Education A. Edwin Joe said he would try and accommodate the service PG candidates.
