After releasing the detailed clarification regarding the internship of Foreign Medical Graduates in India, now National Medical Commission has released the state-wise list of the approved medical colleges for conducting FMGs' Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI). 

A few days back, National Medical Commission released the clarification regarding the internships of Foreign Medical Graduates in India, and now it has released the state-wise list of recognized/approved medical colleges/institutes for conducting the Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) for Foreign Medical Graduates.

NMC had received many representations regarding the acute shortage of internship opportunities for the FMGs in India who cleared the FMGE exam and hence they released the guidelines.

The Commission has also validated the list of recognized non-teaching hospitals as only a one-time measure for a period of one year up to May 2024 for the conduct of internships of FMGs only.

The Commission made it clear that an FMG can complete his/her internship from a medical college in any state/UT if found eligible and State Medical Councils shall not deny allotment of medical colleges for an internship to FMGs on the basis of their domicile. 

NMC also clarified that the provision of two years of the internship is only applicable to those FMGs who were in their last year of study of medical education and returned to India due to Covid 19 or the Russia and Ukraine war etc. Such candidates first needed to complete their study from the respective foreign medical institutes and then they must have cleared the FMGE exam to be eligible for the mandatory CRMI in India.
