New policy for placement of Post PG doctors in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: The state government has finalised a new policy for the placement of Post PG doctors to fulfill their bond condition.

The place of posting for Post PG doctors will be decided through online counselling to ensure transparency, said a notification issued by the Health and Family Welfare department today.

The key points of the new policy are:

• Counselling shall be done for the placement of the Post PG doctors on the basis of their NEET score.
• Two separate merit lists shall 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 if any shall be considered for determination of merit. The merit lists shall be arranged discipline wise.
• All Post PG doctors shall be appointed as specialists (broad specialty) or junior consultants (super specialist) against existing vacant posts of SR/Tutor in government medical colleges. For NMC purpose all such Post PG doctors shall be considered as SR during such Post PG service.
• The DHS and DMET shall decide the discipline and number of doctors need to be posted in the peripheral health institutions under a medical college and hospital and shall give appropriate instruction to the Deans and Principals for such deployment for six months.
• As per the instruction of the DMET, the Deans and Principals shall deploy the Post PG doctors (excluding the super specialist 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 shall be as per the requirement of the institution.
