Medical education department sends fourth notice to CPS
The College of Physicians and Surgeons (CPS) has been sent a fourth show-cause notice by the medical education department asking it to explain anomalies found at hospitals offering its courses during an inspection last year. The notice comes as the Bombay high court decides whether a writ petition filed by the CPS will merit a hearing. Two institutions offering CPS courses were found closed and anomalies detected in 45 others during last year's inspection, while another 73 refused inspection. The CPS is an autonomous examination body that grants degrees under the Indian Medical Degrees Act, 1916.
