At a time when there is much apprehension over the plight and prospects of foreign medical graduates in the country, those in Kerala had much to cheer, when last Friday, the Kerala High Court directed the Government Medical College, Ernakulam, to remove a clause in one of its notifications, which effectively denied them employment opportunities.
Association of MD Physicians (AMD), an organisation representing foreign medical graduates, approached the Kerala High Court, after a notification issued by the Ernakulam college, on February 28, announcing a walk-in-interview for the recruitment of junior residents, specified that the opportunity was “limited to Indian nationals graduated from Indian Universities”.
