Release Revised Internship List: FMGs Urge Bihar Govt

Patna: The foreign medical graduates have urged the Bihar Health Department to urgently release the corrected list of the mandatory internship programme, which is mandatory for all the medical graduates from abroad.

Even though the Bihar Medical Council had released the internship lists, recently the State Health Department cancelled two such lists for the FMGs due to errors. 

Consequently, a notice was issued by the Deputy Secretary of the Bihar Government on 22.04.2025. In that said communication, the Deputy Secretary wrote to the Principal of all Government Medical Colleges regarding the cancellation of allotment of medical college hospitals allotted by Bihar Council of Medical Registration, Patna, for internship of FMG students.

Addressing the issue, the Government had mentioned how the FMGs were allotted internship opportunities at private and government medical colleges through various letters of the Registrar of Bihar Council of Medical Registration, Patna.

However, the letter mentioned how "This allotment of the Registrar, Bihar Council of Medical Registration, Patna is contrary to the provision mentioned in clause-03 of letter No. U-15024/9/2023-UGMEB, dated-07.12.2023 of National Medical Commission, New Delhi."
