New Delhi: The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) has proposed a new regulatory framework for provisional registration of allied and healthcare professionals.
It provides defined pathways for skill upgradation, competency assessment and transition to regular registration and aims to bring greater uniformity, transparency and accountability to professional registration while creating structured opportunities, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said in a release.
Under the proposed framework, provisionally registered professionals will be able to undertake prescribed bridge courses, supervised clinical training and minimum qualifying examinations, wherever applicable, to meet the requirements for regular registration.
The draft also proposes an integrated online registration system to streamline application submission, credential verification, eligibility assessment and issuance of provisional registration certificates, according to the Ministry.
NCAHP has invited public and stakeholder comments on the proposal, the ministry added.
