NMC's Important Public Notice for those who have taken admission for MBBS abroad Dated 26.11.2024

CHENNAI, India - Nov. 29, 2024 - PRLog -- NMC Advisory: Beware of Non-Compliant Medical Universities Abroad

On 26.11.2024, the National Medical Commission (NMC) issued a crucial advisory warning Indian students against enrolling in medical universities abroad that fail to comply with the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021.

With 18+ years of expertise, Mr. Raphael Sebastian highlights the risks, particularly in Georgia and Russia, and emphasizes making informed choices to avoid disqualification from practicing medicine in India.

Key FMGL Requirements

1. English Medium Instruction
   • NMC Rule: MBBS must be entirely taught in English.
   • Mr. Raphael's Warning: Verify that all training, including clinical, is in English to avoid compliance issues.
2. Minimum Course Duration: 4.5 Years
   • NMC Rule: MBBS duration must be at least 4.5 years.
   • Mr. Raphael's Warning: Shortened courses violate FMGL rules and leave students unprepared.
3. One-Year Internship in Same Country & University, apart form the course duration
   • NMC Rule: Internship must be at the same university and a 1 -year internship apart from course duration is mandatory as per NMC.
   • Mr. Raphael's Warning: Internships included within the course are not taken into considerations as per NMC FMGL 2021 REGULATIONS. Transfers or early returns can invalidate degrees.
4. License for Independent Practice
   • NMC Rule: Graduates must qualify for independent practice in their study country.
   • Mr. Raphael's Warning:
     • Georgia: Licensing laws limit MBBS graduates to supervised roles, requiring additional study, which risks exceeding the 10-year NMC limit.
     • Russia: Licensing exams are in Russian, creating hurdles for non-speakers, potentially voiding degrees.
5. Completion Within 10 Years
   • NMC Rule: All requirements, including NExT, must be completed within 10 years.
