Hyderabad: The Department of Health has decided to recruit 1125 new assistant professors in state medical colleges across the state.
The classes for PG and MBBS-1st year will start soon. In addition, eight new medical colleges will be launched in the state from next year. So the preliminary appointments have started.
The services of some professors will be used on deputation and others are likely to be promoted for appointment.
The Director, Medical Education has sent proposals for the appointment of 1125 assistant professors to the government.
Meanwhile, a central government team is likely to visit Telangana to review faculties of medical colleges and other facilities. The process of appointment has therefore been expedited.
In the past, the medical posts were filled by the Public Service Commission. But due to the excessive delay in appointments, the state government set up a Medical and Health Service Recruitment Council (HRC).
The Health Department has decided to make medical appointments through the MHSRB. The MHSRB will be responsible for recruiting medical staff for urban health centers, social medical centers, area hospitals and teaching faculties in hospitals.
All information regarding the vacant medical posts will be sent to the MHSRB which will release notices for appointments.
The MHSRB will begin its activities through the current recruitment of 1,125 assistant professor posts.
