NMC urges State Medical Councils to verify FMGs medical degrees for NMR registration
Amid the ongoing registration of doctors in the National Medical Register (NMR), the National Medical Commission (NMC) has directed the State Medical Councils to confirm the medical degrees from the concerned foreign medical colleges/universities.
Writing to the State Medical Councils (SMCs), the Secretary of NMC, Dr. B Srinivas has asked to seek confirmation regarding the medical degrees from abroad through the concerned Indian Embassy/High Commission either before granting permanent registration or before recommending them for registration on the National Medical Register. The Apex Medical Commission's directions come with the aim to weed out the fake medical registrations from the NMR.
