In the recently released Draft Teachers Eligibility Qualifications (TEQ) 2024 Regulations, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has proposed providing an exemption to doctors having pursued their postgraduate medical education from five English-speaking countries (United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) to undergo the mandatory Senior Residentship to join as faculties in medical colleges.
According to the existing norms, doctors must undergo one year of Senior Residency to be eligible to join the medical colleges as Assistant Professors. However, NMC has proposed granting an exemption in this regard to the PG medical graduates from UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
