NMC to ensure due weightage to theoretical and
clinical skill sets
Dr KK Aggarwal
“Clause 15: NEXT Exam
Medical Education (ME) is a specialized area with high
focus on technical skill sets. A common final year undergraduate examination
(NEXT) with common standards of knowledge and skills for Doctors on a
Nation-wide basis.
An enabling provision has been made to ensure common
standards. Regulations for operationalizing the NEXT would be made in due
course keeping in mind importance of both theoretical as well as clinical skill
sets required at the level of UG.
Composition of NMC includes 75% doctors representing
Central and States Institutions/Councils and health universities. Such a
composition of NMC will ensure that due weightage to theoretical as well as
clinical skill sets is adhered to. There is a 3 year window before NEXT
becomes operational, leaving ample scope for detailed negotiations on the
contours of the exam.”
