Govt Sets Norms For Placement Of Post PG Doctors In Odisha

Bhubaneswar: In order to ensure transparency in placement of the post PG doctors to fulfil their Bond condition, the Odisha government has laid down guidelines.

In a press release on Friday, the Health & Family Welfare (H&FW) department said the place of posting of the post PG doctors will be decided through online counselling. The department has laid down following norms in this regard:

• Counselling will be done for the placement of the post PG doctors on the basis of their NEET score to full fill the bond conditions.
• Two separate merit lists will be prepared – one for direct candidates and another for in-service candidates. For in-service candidates, the modified score after addition of the additional weightage will be considered for
determination of merit. The merit lists will be arranged discipline wise.
• All post PG doctors will be appointed as specialists (broad specialty) or Junior Consultants (superspecialist) against existing vacant posts of SR/Tutor in government medical colleges. For NMC purpose, all such post PG doctors will be considered as SR during such post PG service.
• The DHS and DMET will decide the discipline and number of doctors need to be posted in the peripheral health institutions under a medical college and hospital and will give appropriate instruction to the Dean and Principals for such deployment for six months.
• As per the instruction of the DMET, Dean & Principals will deploy the post PG doctors (excluding the Superspecialist and pre and para clinical doctors) posted under them in peripheral health institutions (DHH, SDH, FRU) tagged to their Medical College on rotation basis for a period of six months. The number of doctors to be deployed in DHH, SDH and FRU will be as per load of the institution.
• The Junior Consultants (super specialty) and the Pre and Para Clinical doctors will be posted in medical colleges only as per need.
