48 doctors lose their PG degrees
CHENNAI, OCTOBER 12, 2018 00:00 IST
The course they did at two colleges was not approved by MCI
The Tamil Nadu Medical Council (TNMC) has cancelled the recognition of the postgraduate degrees of 48 doctors who had taken the course ‘Accident and Emergency Medicine’ in Sri Ramachandra University (SRU) and Vinayaka Mission Medical College. “We conducted inquiry with all the candidates, some appeared [for the inquiry] but others did not. Based on the records, we have cancelled the recognition of the PG degrees of all the 48 doctors. We have warned them that they should not use the degree,” said Dr. K. Senthil, president, TNMC.
The SRU had, in a print advertisement (when it launched the course the institution was known as Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre), mentioned that the course on Accident and Emergency Medicine was not recognised. However, Vinayaka Mission had remained silent and also did not respond to the council’s subsequent queries.
“We sent reminders twice. The two institutions had been running the course since 2002 till 2010, without recognition,” Dr. Senthil said.
