Doctors' panel has freedom to regulate medical education:
The six-member panel of eminent doctors, which replaced a tainted Medical Council of India last year, has ''total freedom'' to regulate medical education in the country, Rajya Sabha was informed today.
If future physicians are to best serve the changing health needs of patients and their communities, medical education must put greater emphasis on public health and prevention, experts say in a supplement to October's American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
