Posted by Dr. Teeth 8 April, 2008 (1) Comment

A scholarship award worth £7,000 for research in primary dental care is available.

The Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK) (FGDP (UK)) and the British Society for General Dental Surgery (BSGDS) are inviting applications for the 2008 BSGDS Scholarship Award.

Established by the BSGDS in 1993, the scholarship supports a single research project in primary dental care and is awarded every two years.

The successful recipient of the 2008 scholarship, which is aided by sponsorship from KaVo Dental Ltd, will receive money to fund their project.

Applications are invited from general dental practitioners with at least four years’ experience in a primary care setting, and should be submitted by completing the FGDP (UK)/BSGD protocol submission form.

The closing date for applications is 9 June 2008, and the winning protocol will be selected by a panel of members from the FGDP (UK) Board and BSGDS Executive Committee.

Good News for the Medico’s-Indian Govt to recognise Foreign PG degrees in Medicine

Posted by Dr. Teeth 16 March, 2008 (4) Comment

The Centre would recognise foreign post-graduate degrees in medicine by English speaking countries, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Anbumani Ramadoss said here today. “As a move to encourage Indian doctors who pursue further studies abroad to come back and practice here, we will recognise foreign post-graduate degrees in medicine by English speaking countries, starting with five (countries) to begin with,” he said at the convocation of National Board of Examinations under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The five nations are UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, he said adding it would be followed by Singapore and European countries. “Initially it will be a unilateral recognition.

So, whats next - Indian govt. has finally given some sort of relief for the Medico’s getting trained Internationally. And i hope the few other major countries are added to the list soon. This will definitely be a boost to the International Universities attracting Indian students for the PG program.
