Medical Council of India recognizes CCT degrees awarded to Doctors in UK

New Delhi: Previously unrecognized super specialty degree- Certificate of Completion Training (CCT) awarded to Doctors post PG following 4-6 years practice in the UK has been now recognized by India’s medical education regulator -MCI.

Giving approval for such degrees, the Medical Council of India has issued a regulator to all state medical councils asking them to register Certificate of Completion Training (CCT) as an additional qualification for doctors, TNIE reports.

Despite the Board has given the approval, the same was not communicated to state councils due to which students were facing harassment.

The move is expected to benefit hundreds of doctors willing to work in the country as super specialists following advanced training in the UK but have been denied registration so far.
