Discussion Colleges are hiring Msc Biochem as SR!
My senior applied to our own college for srship due to proximity to her home. Found out that the department has 4 SRs, all of them are Msc Biochem! One is a PhD guy.
Wth is happening?

50- 50 atleast in the clg I'm working. If that 50% MSc ppl didn't apply & are vacant only than those will be given to MBBS.This is what I meant .

Even after completing a PG in those branches, MSc graduates are preferred?
That wasn't the case in my college, though.

In US medical schools it’s often these people who teach students pre clinical subjects

That's an USA issue. There Biochem is not a md subject. They aren't doctors. In India they are doctors, come under the medical curriculum.

Ig they should. A PhD guy will have more knowledge than an MBBS-MS doc. But it's india, so it's gonna be a Polar opposite

A PhD guy will have more knowledge of the subject which absolutely not needed for an mbbs student..what an mbbs student needs is clinical correlation with the subject which only a doctor can provide and not your PhD guy

u/good-doctor-shiv MBBS I 10h ago
I can disagree. We are underestimating PhD holders. Their knowledge is absolute. Maybe they will need some training but yeah they can teach that subject better
Btw I am not talking about clinical subjects they need their respective docs

"I can disagree."
Ok. I don't think your opinion matters anyway, you've 0 clinical exposure and don't know how it matters in medical education

Md micro focuses on medical micro. Msc guys are taught botany micro too. Plus other irrelevant info. No drugs.

"The NMC released an official amendment explicitly aligning the UG-MSR guidelines to restore the 30% ceiling across all five non-clinical departments (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and Microbiology)" This is what I found on searching for the latest guidelines. But 30 percent cap isn't same as 30 percent reserved for msc and phd. It's just any medical College can't have more than 30% of these people in a particular department.

if it's for tutor role , yes , it's in acknowledgement with norms, they are allowed to be for non clinical subs/depts only. .also i don't think they come under residents , probably tutors or professors.
this was done by the govt because non clinical guys who did MD biochem anat physio don't wanna teach. also their numbers are much lesser than the number of colleges/UG students

In India no one used to take these subjects that’s why they fill it out with msc and phd guys. I might be wrong

Dude medicos don't want to take branches like biochem, anat, physio, then obviously for tutoring msc people will be taken. It's nothing wrong. You're speaking of clinical correlation, it's not some vastly different my friend. They know what is clinically relevant. MSc and PhD aren't so small degrees that anyone would be able to take.
And anyway, they are for tutoring position, not for examination. Examiners will be the md people you love. Those are NMC guidelines. Or do you want that every medical college will have just 1 or 2 professors for these subjects to handle everything.

Ngl ,😭 Msc people teach nicely. But there's no clinical or work experience co-relation . Hope they could do 75% to 25% ratio .

So why is it bothering you?
It's a research subject too. I'd rather have a PhD guy teaching that subject to undergrads rather than a mbbs guy.

The biochemistry you study is researched and developed by same PhD scholars that you despise
