FMG Internship Allowed At Non-Teaching Hospitals For 2 More Years: Providing significant relief to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs), the National Medical Commission (NMC) has extended the duration for undergoing mandatory internship at non-teaching hospitals by two years. This decision by the NMC comes in response to numerous representations received from Medical Councils and FMGs citing difficulties in securing internship placements.
Last year, the Apex Medical Commission had granted similar relief to FMGs, acknowledging the insufficient availability of internship seats. This shortage resulted in many foreign medical graduates being unable to enroll in the internship program despite passing the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), a mandatory screening test.
