‘It will enable the college to function with full strength’
The State government has sanctioned 25 more faculty posts at the newly opened Pudukottai Government Medical College.
S. Saradha, Dean of the college, told The Hindu that the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) had approved the proposal to create 25 new posts. Most of them would be in the level of associate professors. It was expected that it would get the financial approval of the government soon. It would enable the college to function with full strength as per Medical Council of India (MCI) norms for handling second year MBBS classes, which begin in August.
She said the college, which was started in 2017-18, had anatomy, physiology, bio-chemistry and clinical surgery. Each department had about eight faculty members including professors and associate professors. In addition to it, it had been proposed to create four more departments such as pharmacology, pathology, micro biology and socio-preventive medicine. These departments would play a key role for the students stepping into second year from August.
Dr. Saradha said it had taken a number of steps to fulfill the norms of MCI for renewal of Letter of Permission to admit 150 students for 2019-20. The college had all required facilities for in-patients, out-patients, para-medical staff members, laboratories, classrooms, lecture halls and residential and residence quarters for second year students. The college had a 700-bed hospital.
There were 150 staff nurses in the college. A proposal had been sent to the government to increase their strength to 300. Similarly, there was a proposal to increase the number of paramedical staff too.
She said the MCI team was likely to visit the college in September to study the infrastructural facilities including class rooms, laboratory, lecture halls and residential quarters.
The college would have required faculty members, staff nurses and new departments before the visit, she added..
