On a war footing now, a delegation representing #FMG interests met with officials at @NMC_IND today.
Key points raised:
• #Stipend for interns (currently none)
•Absorption of students into various teaching and non-teaching hospitals of states. (Currently there are waiting lists for starting internship!)
• Rethinking the merits and demerits of 3 year internship for a special batch of students.
Hoping for a positive response from the authorities.
#FMG have suffered and faced enormous challenges & discrimination. Some humanitarian approach is need of the hour.

Why are foreign medical graduates increasingly facing challenges? The National Medical Commission initially required a 2-year internship, but later introduced a 3-year internship. Now there are additional delays of 5-8 months by SMCs to initiate the internship.
Many state councils are facing a shortage of internship seats. Recently, the DMC(@GirishTyagiDMC) and other councils have suggested allowing non-teaching hospitals to accommodate more FMGs, but the @NMC_IND response is still pending.
We request to @NMC_IND@dryogendermalik kindly consider this serious concern and allow non teaching hospitals for internship .

@DrRohanKrishna3@FAIMA_INDIA_@India_NHRC@NMC_IND Great initiative sir ..
though I would request you to raise the issue of stipend issues specifically of FMGs too in the future meetings ..
Thanku
DMC leads the way!
A great initiative to absorb and train FMGs who are often getting the sharper end of the stick in our medical education system.
Perhaps, other state councils will follow.

FMG Students are Indians, went abroad to study MBBS and will serve people of India after completion of MBBS.
Supreme Court's decision is welcoming in this regards.
Hope that @NMC_IND should take this into consideration and treat them as equal as IMGs after passing of FMGE.
FMG candidates deserve better!
The current sentiment in the country regarding Foreign Medical Graduates has a hostile undertone to it.
3 years of internship (+clerkship) in particular, is not only too rigid, but also inhumane at many levels- Compunded with the adversities that these students have already had to face in the face of #COVID & #UkraineWar
We urge @NMC_IND to listen to the various demands and pleas of affected students and help settle their multiple issues with rounds of talks.
We will represent their interests.
@MoHFW_INDIA shouldn’t allow this travesty to go unnoticed.
