NMC to abolish age limit of 45 years prescribed for senior residents

In a move that will bring relief to thousands of doctors wanting to start their career in the field of medical education, the National Medical Commission (NMC) might soon do away with the age limit of 45 years prescribed for the initial appointment of the Senior Residents.

Confirmation of this comes from the minutes of the meeting held by the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of NMC earlier this year, a copy of which is with Medical Dialogues team

During its meeting dated February 07, 2023, the Postgraduate Medical Education Board (PGMEB) of NMC examined the cases of the non-medical postgraduate students with MSC (Medical) degree and decided to recommend to NMC for abolishing the age-limit of 45 years prescribed for the Senior Residents in the Teachers Eligibility Qualifications in Medical Institutions Regulations, 2022.
