As on date, the Indian
Medical Council Act (IMC) Act, 1956 does not provide for mandatory
re-registration and re-validation of doctors. Medical Council of India (MCI),
with the previous approval of the Central Government, has notified Indian
Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002
which, inter-alia; prescribe that a Physician should participate in
professional meetings as a part of Continuing Medical Education (CME). In order
to enhance professional skills and to update their medical knowledge, such CMEs
must be attended by medical practitioners for at least 30 hours every 5 years,
organised by reputed professional academic bodies or any other authorised
organisations. The compliance of this requirement shall be informed regularly
to MCI or State Medical Council by these bodies. The MCI regulations are statutory
and binding on all the doctors registered with MCI or State Medical
Councils.
The MCI, from time to
time, uploads the details of medical practitioners registered with MCI viz.
Indian Medical Register (IMR), in public domain which includes the name of the
doctor, registration number etc.
The Health Minister stated this in a written reply in the Lok
Sabha here today.
