Medical education regulator National Medical Commission (NMC) has recommended that ‘Maharshi Charak Shapath’ should replace the Hippocratic Oath in a new curriculum for MBBS courses and students pursuing them in the country.
According to new guidelines, “Modified ‘Maharshi Charak Shapath’ is recommended when a candidate is introduced to medical education.”
The guidelines also recommend a 10-day yoga “foundation course”, beginning June 12 every year and culminating on the International Yoga Day on June 21.
