Medical-Education Strengthening By Inclusion Of Dental- Education Is An Utmost Necessity In INDIA & World: A Perspective
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
In many countries, the present standing of the Dental-Education split from the Medical-Education is not good & satisfactory towards providing healthcare to their citizens. It seems that it has evolved due to deficient knowledge for understanding the relation between oral diseases and general wellbeing & systemic illnesses. It is an apparent truth that the dentistry is a part of Medical-Education/Profession and by its separation we have started an unnecessary race, competition & gap between Dental and Medical to a large extent. The independent entity of dentistry from the rest of Medical-Education is a discrepancy and mysterious; and violating the ethics, equity & justice of Medical-Education. Without careful exploring the ill effects and harms of dealing dental education separately from the Medical-Education by blindly following the other countries’ model, is not justifiable; it is gratuitous and unnecessary in Indian reality & socio-economic perspective. The integrity of Medical-Education/Profession with its various streams, including dentistry should be reconsidered and realized; and a prompt decision & collective execution should be in use by the Government of India, Bioethicists, Medical-Educationists and Medical Council of India to merge BDS course into MBBS course, Dental colleges into Medical Colleges and Dental Council of India into Medical Council of India for maintaining the dignity and integrity of Medical-Education towards an excellent healthcare provision to Indian and people worldwide in a reasonable and affordable economic budget.
