Key Points / Main Content:
Competency-Based Assessment:
* Existing registered medical practitioners conducting ultrasound procedures based on prior experience/training can be exempted from the six-month training if they qualify in a competency-based assessment as per Schedule II.
* Practitioners failing the competency-based assessment after three attempts must undertake the complete six-month training for registration renewal.

* Practical Assessment for Competency Based Assessment includes: demonstrations (60 marks) and viva (40 marks). Examiner chooses any SIX for demonstration.
* Viva for Final Examination: 30 marks (three case situations).
* Viva for Competency Based Assessment: 40 marks (four case situations).
Training Institutions:
* Training can be offered at Medical Council of India recognized institutions offering Post Graduate programs in Obstetrics & Gynaecology or Radiology or Institutions offering full time residency DNB programme in Obstetrics & Gynaecology or Radiology.
Admissions:
* Intake ratio is 1:4 (teacher to students).
* Selection is based on the State Post Graduate Entrance Exam merit list or equivalent.
* Preference (up to 50% of seats) is given to government in-service candidates.
* States/UTs shall provide seats to candidates from other States/UTs without accredited institutes.
Other Amendments:
* The phrase "On or before 1st January, 2017" is deleted from rule 9.
* States/UTs shall complete the Competency based assessment for already registered medical practitioners within two years of this notification.
* Certificates for Six Months Training in Ultrasonography and Competency based assessment shall be issued by Director Medical Education and countersigned by the concerned State Appropriate Authority.
