Until now, government hospitals in Madhya Pradesh lacked designated posts for resident doctors -- a critical requirement for medical professionals aspiring to become faculty members in medical colleges. As per current norms, doctors must complete a one-year residency to qualify for teaching roles in medical colleges. He further said, “Without senior resident positions, doctors were unable to acquire the necessary practical experience, which in turn affected the formation of qualified faculty.”The newly sanctioned posts will allow hospitals to absorb senior resident doctors, creating a surplus of trained professionals who can transition into academic roles. The dual role of resident doctors -- providing services and teaching -- will enhance both patient care and academic rigour. All medical colleges which are in the offing will also benefit from the resident doctors.
