A comprehensive list of accredited institutions where foreign medical graduates (FMGs) can apply for internships has just been made public by the Delhi Medical Council (DMC). For prospective medical professionals from nations like China, Russia, Ukraine, and other ones acknowledged by the National Medical Council (NMC), this development is essential. The NMC has temporarily loosened its standards in response to the ongoing Covid epidemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, allowing FMGs who have passed their screening exams to intern at non-teaching hospitals. With this change, there are now an astonishing 587 internship slots available in the capital, up from 42 previously.

Increased opportunities for internships

The medical council has acknowledged the rising interest and demand from foreign medical graduates by increasing the number of internship spaces. The Delhi Medical Council seeks to offer beneficial hands-on experience in a variety of medical settings by accepting more FMGs. This action is advantageous for prospective medical professionals as well as for the general advancement and international exchange of medical knowledge.
