Should the positions of HoDs be rotational in medical colleges? SC seeks NMC’s intervention
The Supreme Court is hearing a case on whether Heads of Departments (HoDs) in medical colleges should be appointed on a rotational basis or based on seniority, as per National Medical Commission (NMC) regulations. The dispute arises from a policy introduced by Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), which mandates HoD rotations every three years. The Court has sought NMC’s intervention to clarify the matter, which could have nationwide implications for medical institutions.
