Hello aspirant,
The Dental Council of India (DCI) has urged Medical Council of India (MCI) to introduce a three-year MBBS bridge course for Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) graduates, which will allow them to become full-fledged MBBS doctors. MCI, sources said, is considering the proposal. However, a final decision is yet to be taken.
The country faces a shortage of doctors and if the Centre agrees to the DCI proposal it may increase their availability, which will have a big impact on the health care system, especially in the rural areas, said a DCI member. Also, there are many dentists and dental surgeons who want to practice as general physicians. If dentists are allowed to do MBBS, it will be a win-win situation for all, he argued.
Hope you understand,
Thank you
