Civilians to get education at command hospital
LUCKNOW: As many as 18 civilians will be able to pursue post graduation in medical education from Lucknow's Command Hospital.
Seats for the same would be allotted during the second counselling session of UP post graduate medical entrance examination's second counselling starting May 27. "Medical education department has initiated the move after the armed forces medical wing failed to provide students against the allotted seats. Such sheer wastage of resources in a state like UP where there is dearth of specialist doctors cannot be tolerated. Hence, this mid-way was taken," said KC Rastogi, additional director, medical education department.
The rider in the offer is that candidates opting for medical seats in Command Hospital will not be given any stipend the way their counterparts in the state medical colleges get.
"Learning opportunity is equal in both the conditions, but students will have to do without their monthly stipend," informed Rastogi. He added that all the seats have been approved by the Medical Council of India ( MCI) and the streams are purely clinical (medicine, surgery, radio diagnosis, pathology among others).
More than 4,000 candidates took the medical entrance exam held on February 20. They were eying 644 seats across 30 specialties in state medical colleges and Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University. Besides the 18, another 36 seats, which could not be filled in the first counselling, will also be allotted.
