No Extra Clerkship Required for FMGs if Compensated Abroad for Online Classes, NMC Clarifies
Following protests by foreign medical graduates (FMGs) over mandatory additional training in India to compensate for online classes taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has now clarified that the medicos will not be required to undergo additional training in India if they have already completed the required compensation abroad.
The Commission stated that FMGs who had to attend online classes during their MBBS course abroad due to the COVID-19 pandemic or war will not be required to undergo additional clerkship in India if they have already completed the required compensation through physical classes at their parent foreign medical institution.
