Refrain from using MD, MS or Physician titles without approval: GMC to foreign medical grads
October 25, 2024
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Medical Council (GMC) has instructed doctors who studied medicine abroad not to use titles such as ‘MD,’ ‘MS,’ or ‘Physician’ on documents, stationery, clinic boards, or nameplates. Instead, they are required to use ‘MBBS.’ The council warned that any foreign medical graduates found using these titles without proper authorization would face license suspension.
In an order dated October 21, the GMC stated that using titles like ‘MD’ or ‘Physician’ on stationery, nameplates, business cards, signboards, or receipts could mislead the public and violates GMC regulations. The council clarified that if foreign medical graduates meet the qualifications and eligibility criteria for these titles, they must obtain a GMC-issued license to use them. DeshGujarat
