A Division bench of the Kerala High Court has recently upheld the State Medical Council's decision to mandate clinical clerkship for the Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs), who were studying in China and completed a portion of their education online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Division Bench of the High Court, comprising Justices Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice PV Balakrishnan, observed that the only objective for the one-year clinical clerkship is "to ensure the quality of health care delivery in the country and nothing more."
