Students who have finished their MBBS courses in colleges abroad now face prospect of having to do an extra year of internship in India. Recently Govt announced that such students need to do 1 year internship in India to be eligible to write FMGE. @VidyaKrishnan @AnooBhu pls read
FMGE is the exam they need to take to be eligible to practice in India/apply for PG etc. So these students cannot write FMGE unless they produce their MBBS degree certificate and they cannot produce their MBBS degree certificate until they finish internship.
If they do internship abroad to get their degree certificate then they need to do one year internship again in India to be able to write their FMGE. With the FMGE exam dates, time taken to get internship in India etc. this can mean their MBBS course may stretch to 7 years.
Earlier the provisional certificate was acceptable for writing FMGE and the internship could be completed in parallel. Now Govt wants MBBS Degree certificate to allow them to write FMGE. This seems unfair. Maybe the private medical college lobby may have been behind this to
discourage students from going abroad for studying medicine.This rule needs to be modified to earlier system to prevent foreign medical graduates from being discriminated against.When country desperately needs more doctors see what is being done. @drharshvardhan @MoHFW_INDIA
