Niti Ayog has approved the proposal of the Dental Council of India (DCI) which had urged for a dentist to practice as general physicians after a bridge course.
It came in a bid to fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi vision to explore unconventional methods to address the shortage of doctors in the country, particularly in rural areas.
The Dental Council of India had sent a similar proposal to the Medical Council of India last year featuring
A bridge course of 3 years post Bachelor of Dental Science (BDS).
The admission would be either through a common entrance exam or through cumulative marks secured in the BDS course, or even a combination.
The syllabus curriculum, scheme of examination, method of evaluation, degrees, and registration all these criteria will be the same as recommended for MBBS.
Although, Indian Medical Association (IMA) has strongly opposed the proposal citing the figures of 63,250 MBBS graduates come out of 494 medical colleges every year and India has only 23,729 post-graduate seats. Unemployment among medical graduates is a cause for concern.
