The Govt will not accept the current locally trained EM faculty without an extensive verification of both academic courses, their faculty and the departmental setups.

This is a good thing which prevents randomly trained individuals from occupying teaching positions. It is important to allow only faculty with the right experience to teach PGs.

In the next few years, there will be EM training everywhere. In this scenario, only those departments (whether Govt or Private) which take extreme care of their teaching & academics will churn out the best leaders in Indian EM. And these institutes will achieve that IIT Kanpur-like status.

So despite MCI recognition & official approval of MD(EM) programs, postgraduation in emergency medicine will not be the same across India. Those who wish to join EM will have a tough time weighing the pros & cons of the various programs.
