Why this petition matters

Started by Shikha Dhaundiyal

This is in regard to use of "Sports Medicine " term by Other Specialities with out a MCI recognized Diploma/ MD Sports Medicine.

Registered Medical Practitioners( MBBS) with DSM ( Diploma) / MD( Masters) degree in Sports Medicine refer to as  Sports Medicine Specialist/ Doctors/ Physicians in India.

Ref: RTI reply from MCI, RTI no - MEDCI/R/2108/50198 Dated 15th March 2018.

MBBS Doctors taking online Courses like IOC( International Olympic Comittee) or diploma / MSc Sports which is not a MCI recognized course and calling themselves as Sports Medicine Physician/ Doctor/ Specialist.

Specialities mostly Orthopedic using name to conquer their working practice and practicing as Sports Medicine Doctor/ Physician/ Specialist.

 

This needs to stop as it is basically misinterpreting a speciality degree of Diploma / MD Sports Medicine which is strctly against norms proposed by Government of India.
