Overview
- The Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board is concurrently recruiting 607 Assistant Professors under DME and 1,623 specialist doctors for TVVP.
- Although the DME drive was notified on June 28, 2025, before the TVVP notice on August 22, 2025, doctors say TVVP hiring is being prioritised.
- Senior residents argue many specialists selected now will quit once they secure DME teaching posts, causing vacancy recycling and wasted administrative effort.
- A Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association office-bearer warns vacated TVVP seats could stay unfilled for a year, affecting services at secondary hospitals.
- Associations urge the board to complete DME appointments first so TVVP posts are later filled by candidates more likely to remain in those roles.
