The National Medical Commission of India considering the situation of students who had to fled from Ukraine owing to the war situation has announced that the students with incomplete internships can complete the same in India.

In a circular put out by the NMC, it said, “There are also some foreign medical graduates with incomplete internships due to such compelling situations which are beyond their control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and war etc. Considering the agony and stress faced by these foreign medical graduates, their application to complete the remaining part of internship in India is considered eligible.”

“The state medical councils should ensure the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examination (NBE) should be cleared by the candidates seeking registration in India. If the candidate is found fulfilling criteria, provisional registration may be granted by the state medical councils for a 12 months’ internship or balance period, as the case may be,” the circular said.

This will indeed help the thousands of students who had to rush back home owing to the Russian Military invasion in Ukraine.
