Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
Medical Officers under NHM Assam are primarily posted at Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), Sub-Divisional Civil Hospitals (SDCHs), or First Referral Units (FRUs) across rural, tea garden, riverine (char areas), and semi-urban districts of Assam. Daily duties involve conducting outpatient consultations (OPD), running emergency and institutional delivery services, leading maternal and child health clinics, organizing outreach immunization sessions, and overseeing national disease control programs (TB, NCDs, Malaria). The role provides immense clinical autonomy, hands-on emergency exposure, and leadership in district healthcare teams alongside ANMs, staff nurses, and ASHAs.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
The position is purely contractual for an initial tenure of 11 months or one financial year, renewable annually based on satisfactory performance appraisal and continued sanction of NHM funds by the Government of India and Government of Assam. The engagement confers no right or claim for regular appointment or absorption into the permanent Assam Medical and Health Services (AMHS) cadre. The contract can be terminated by either party with one month's written notice or salary in lieu thereof.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
Remuneration is fixed at Rs. 55,000/- per month (consolidated) without standard state pay matrix allowances (DA, HRA). While internal rank promotions do not apply within contractual project posts, contractual service as an NHM Medical Officer provides substantial career dividends: it fulfills mandatory rural/remote service requirements and offers significant incentive weightage marks for Assam State Quota PG Medical (MD/MS/Diploma/DNB) entrance admissions, as well as preferred consideration during regular Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) Medical & Health Officer Grade-I selections.
