New Delhi: "A draft Skill Training Curriculum has been prepared for the Foreign Medical Graduates who repeatedly fail to qualify the FMGE for preparing such students for the exam through self-sustaining MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and Clinical Skill Labs etc."
This information was recently given by the MOS (Minister of state) Health, Shri Ashwani Kumar Choubey, while responding to a question that whether the Government is considering a programme to upgrade skills of doctors, who
graduate from foreign medical colleges to help them get the training needed to practice medicine in India.
