NMC releases guidelines for medical graduates from Ukraine

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has stepped in to alleviate the predicament faced by Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) who encountered disruptions in their education in Ukraine due to pandemic or war-related reasons.

FMGs who partially completed their medical courses offline at foreign medical institutes and returned to India, regardless of whether they completed an internship, must obtain provisional registration from the concerned State Medical



Council.

Following this, they are required to undergo a one-year Clinical Rotating Internship (CRMI) in line with the CRMI Regulation of 2021. These FMGs will also be eligible for stipends equivalent to those received by Indian medical graduates.

For FMGs whose final year studies were disrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic or war and who completed their FMG course and examinations solely online, a one-year clinical clerkship (CC) within the country is mandated.
