COMPULSORY RURAL SERVICE FOR 2006 BATCH DOCTORS IN KARNATAKA..FROM 2012-2013
We attended the meeting called at the seminar room at commissionor of health and family welfare office, Anandrao circle, Bangaluru on 7th may at around 11.15 am.
The following persons attended it
- Commissionor of HFW,
- Technical secretary and incharge of BOND ENFORCEMENT CELL, Dept HFW,
- Parents and nearly 280 new Doctors of 2006 batch of govt colleges.
POINTS FOR DOCTORS WILLING TO JOIN THE SERVICE
- all doctors of 2006 batch have to do rural service for a duration of one year from the date of appointment order,
- a payment of Rs 25,000/- will be given,
- has to work as trainee doctor, under a senior medical officer,
- trainee doctor have to attend OPD, IP and EMERGENCY DUTIES and they will not be given or involved any administrative, financial and medico-legal works / cases.
- if such trainee doctors who appear for PG-entrance and succeed in getting a post graduate seat within this service duration, then a provision will be made to allow such doctors to continue his higher education..
- counselling will be conducted according to the CET Merit ranking of 2006 entrance exams, and the Doctors can select a seat from the list of vacancies available according to his/her rank.. The selection procees will be transparent and seat matrix will be displayed, similar to seat counselling as done for MBBS.
- A separate list based on MBBS performance cant be feasible, as it require to collect all the marks Data of four years plus grading done in internship then averging that to generate merit list will lead to further delay in the process, so 2006 KCET Ranking will be the basis for work place selection.
- As per the Bond medical have executed while taking the seat in Government Medicall College, they have to pay one lakh Rupees through Nationalized Bank challan..
On this same occasion, Dr Shivshanker S Patil of MMCRI, Mysore and Dr Tejesvi of Mandya medical college asked the concerned officials to clarify and accept their request / suggestions like
- The word Trainee Doctor should be dropped and an alternate word like Asst Medical officer / Deputy Medical officer / Duty Doctor Etc should considered, because, these Doctors have already completed one year compulsory internship and are dully registered with Karnataka Medical Council, there by permitted by this board to practice as Doctor Not as Trainee Doctor. More over a Doctor after his MBBS course can apply for Medical Officer on contract basis, then why should the HFW Dept, give the title Trainee Doctor..?
- Bond was signed in 2006 august and the doctors have completed their academic year on March 2012, including one year internship... so the Doctors request the Dept to end the service within the next academic year ie march 2013, if any delay in appointment or counselling it will be due to Dept Delay not due to Doctors ...a New Batch of Doctor i.e 2007 Batch will be available for such posting from the next academic year fron March 2013...
- A special quota or reservation should be allowed in Karnataka Postgraduation Entrance for such Doctors, or else Doctors who pay amount and the doctors who have studied on merit seat in private college will have more chances of getting the PG seat compare to the Merit Doctors, who will be serving in the villages..
- Doctors then gave a list of queries, for which the officials promised to consider and reply it in the news press release later.
