MBBS value versus value of medical assistant in usa

[Guest guest]

I agree, My MBBS has no value here. it should be out of the system!!

Recently , here in USA, now i am licensed as a R.M.A( registered Medical

assistant), which is recognised, and my MBBS degree is not!!

so now i am an R.M.A  degraded down from an MBBS.

A certified nurse has more value than an RMA.

i hate this country.

All my knowledge and skills are lying waste,

I am trying to join a college for a physician assistant program, and they need

GRE!!! and its so expensive!!

it is so damn frustrating.

I have gone back 27yrs of my life.

all sacrifice for the family with no expectations!

Meena Samtani

This is an interesting concept. It also brings to mind the

deprofessionalising of our profession. In this country too there are

advanced nurse practitioners who take on roles that used to be traditionally

doctors. Every act of the doctor is deconstructed such that other personnel

can be found to do parts of it. They work to strict guidelines and

protocols. Who will be able to enforce this in India?

A lot of medicine has been turned into vocational courses- what we lose here

is the overall picture. The drivers are finance and need for greater numbers

in that order.........

Soon, I am sure all will turn full circle.

Delhi HC nod to course for non-MBBS to practise in villages

New Delhi, Nov 10, (PTI) :

The Delhi High Court today gave the green signal to introduction of a

three-year-course for non-MBBS persons to practise medicine in primary

health centres in rural areas saying " it's better to be treated by a doctor

than by a quack " .

The go-ahead came after the Centre told the HC that it has approved the

course and Medical Council of India(MCI) would prepare a syllabus for the

course soon.

" It is better to be treated by a doctor than a quack " , said a division bench

of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice Manmohan and gave the nod to the

Ministry of Health to go ahead with introduction of new course-Bacholar of

Rural Health Care for three years.

The Centre's counsel submitted before the bench that to practice in primary

health care centres, a person has to qualify the new course and six months

internship thereafter. After obtaining an experience of five years, if the

person does a bridge course for two years, he will be equivalent to a MBBS

doctor.

The counsel further submitted that after approval, the government has asked

MCI to prepare the syllabus.

Meanwhile, MCI informed the Bench that it will prepare the syllabus within

two months, after which the court asked the government to issue a

notification six weeks thereafter so as to implement the course from next

academic year.

The Bench was hearing a PIL, filed by one Meenakshi Gautam, through counsel

Prashant Bhushan, seeking to decriminalise the practise of medicine by

non-MBBS persons.

The petitioner sought a direction to the government to introduce a

short-term course for training healthcare workers so that shortage of

doctors in rural areas could be removed.

The Indian Medical Council Act, which provides for one-year imprisonment for

practising medicine by non-MBBS persons, should be amended, said the

petitioner.

According to the Act, only a MBBS qualified person can practice medicine and

prescribe a scheduled drug. The Act has obstructed the development of

mid-level health practitioners who can deliver family healthcare, the

petitioner added.
