BAPIO said the new figures showed that Indian doctors are discriminated against at the GMC.
Dr Ramesh Mehta, president of BAPIO, said “Over the years we have repeatedly pointed out to the GMC that foreign doctors are treated harshly in disciplinary procedures; more referrals come from the management than from the public, with fewer local doctors being referred to the GMC who also get off lightly when caught.
“The NHS and the policymakers need to make up their minds since it is ironic that on the one hand Indian doctors are being criticised and on the other hand they are being courted”.
dedworth this is a fact
http://www.bapio.co.uk/justice-for-gp-traineesRCGP figures for 2010-11indicate that the failure rate for IMGs taking the CSA component of the MRCGP is at 63.2%, compared with 9.4% of UK graduates. The President of BAPIO, Dr Ramesh Mehta said “While patient safety is of utmost importance toBAPIO and the standards of examination must be maintained; the huge differential between the pass rates is unjustified while all the trainees have gone through the same 3 year training”
There was afurore when Royal College of General Practioners admitted that ethnic-minority candidates were continuing to perform ‘differently’ to other candidates after the release of RCGP commissioned review of possible racial and sex biases in the exam in 2010.
its time BAPIO took this to court and to find out if IMG's have been discriminated and maybe IMG's are also treated 'differently' to British doctors who face being struck off.
