Who should teach future doctors? The debate over non-MBBS Ph.D. faculty

The inclusion of non‑MBBS distance Ph.D. degree holders to core teaching posts in medical colleges has now become a flashpoint among educators. While the section against the inclusion states that this method of filling perceived faculty shortages dilutes the clinical and ethical standards, those supporting the move state that distance or part‑time Ph.D. programme educators are competent, trained, and well-equipped to provide education to medical students. Those against add that a distance‑mode doctoral program and M.Sc. by Non-MBBS teachers pursued parallel to unrelated full‑time employment cannot replicate the crucible of supervised patient contact, procedural stewardship, morbidity–mortality analysis, ethical case discussions, real laboratory quality systems, and iterative assessment that shapes judgment in a medical graduate. To delve deeper into the topic, The Hindu will host a live webinar titled, 'Who should teach future doctors? The debate over non-MBBS Ph.D. faculty', on August 16, at 5:00 p.m. The panellists include: Dr. Anoop Singh Gurjar, Head of Anatomy, GMC, Pali; Dr. R. P.
