The Foreign Medical Graduates wishing to continue their medical practice in India are facing uncertainty about their career and the possible loss of year with the National Medical Commission (NMC) insisting on two-years internship only from approved institutes.

Since NMC made the list of approved institutes public on October 21, 2022, the medical graduates from abroad who were already enrolled in the compulsory internship programme last year stand to lose one whole year out of their career. This is because the institutes where the FMGs got enrolled for Compulsory Rotatory Medical Internship (CRMI) Programmes, have now been termed invalid by the Apex medical commission.
