Doctors urge Mansukh Mandaviya, NMC to reconsider 3 year internship rule for FMGs
Pointing out the plights of foreign medical graduates (FMGs), especially delay in achieving their academic goals, the Foreign Medical Students' Wing of the All India Medical Students' Association (AIMSA) has urged the Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and the National Medical Commission (NMC) to reconsider and revise the 3-year internship and clerkship rule.
Referring to the NMC notices dated 22.11.2023 and 07.12.2023 directing the FMGs to undergo additional years of training to compensate for practical training lost due to COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, the association highlighted that these added years present a significant setback in the academic journey of the affected students.
