AP High Court upholds 2-year internship rule for FMGs, says clinical training cannot be substituted by online classes - Video

Denying relief to a group of foreign medical graduates, who were denied permanent registration due to non-completion of 2 years of internship in India, the Andhra Pradesh High Court observed that the medical profession requires practical knowledge and clinical training, and it cannot be substituted by online classes.

"The medical profession is something which requires practical knowledge and clinical training, which cannot be substituted by onlines classes. The regular medical course requires clinical skills training, dissections in laboratories to understand the human anatomy patient interaction, team based learning such as case studies and problem solving exercises," observed the HC bench comprising Justice Kiranmayee Mandava.
