DME and DMS have published vacancy list to ensure transparency in postings
Service Post Graduates (PG) will be posted to speciality vacancies in the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) and Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMS) institutions through virtual counselling. Both the authorities have published the vacancy list prior to counselling after several years, a move that a section of doctors say will go a long way in ensuring transparency in postings.
“This is the first time we will be holding a virtual counselling via video conferencing for posting service PGs. A total of 550 doctors will be appearing for the three-day counselling to be held from May 25. There are 1,200 posts in DME and DMS institutions,” R. Narayana Babu, Director of Medical Education, said.
