"By her sheer tantrumal decree, for some reason known, perhaps, only to her infamously choleric temper, it was stipulated that heretofore, degrees confered by the GMC were to be reinforced by an elementary crash-course were they to be recognized by the Medical Council of India as on par with the degrees confered by the other medical schools in the country." COMMENT: By way of typo, confusion or oversight, Alfred Tavares has partially mis-stated the issue: It was NOT the qualifications of the Goa Medical College but those of the Escola Medica that were 'derecognised'. Graduates of the Escola had to complete the 'Condensed MBBS course'. Alfred Tavares makes a very good point ie. that Escola graduates were recognised internationally but NOT in post 1962 Goa. Important to know that the Indian Medical Council did NOT recognise the MBBS from Goa Medical College for a number of year ....into the 1970s. My understanding is that there was a problem between Uni of Bombay and India Medical Council. jc
