Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): State’s most new government medical colleges lack professors, associate professors and other teachers. There are 13 government medical colleges in the state. Satna Medical College became functional in 2023-24 academic session.
According to information, if colleges do not have professors, it is considered 7% shortage of teaching staff. If they do not have associate professors, shortage is 3% to 4%. Absence of assistant professors is considered 2% shortage.
MP Medical Teachers Association media incharge Dr Sumit Rawat said, “State government should focus on strengthening faculties in new medical colleges having 150-200 MBBS seats. They do not have professors. AIIMS, Bhopal, has three to four professors in each department to teach 100 MBBS students. National Medical Council had pointed out 30% paucity of teachers in previous inspections.”
