The Under-Graduate Medical Education Board and Ethics and Medical Registration Board, National Medical Commission, on Wednesday issued a clarification specifying the provisions under which Foreign Medical Graduates (FMG), especially students from Ukraine and Philippines, could register, work and study in India.
The clarification comes after various problems and representations were received from the FMGs.
The NMC has said that for the FMGs who have completed medical course in foreign medical institutes (course equivalent to MBBS in India) as offline mode with or without one year of internship and returned to India need to obtain provisional registration from the State Medical Council concerned and thereafter undergo one year Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) as per the CRMI Regulation, 2021.
