NMC Clarifies Licence Requirement for Georgia Medical Graduates

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has clarified that medical graduates from Georgia are required to obtain a licence to practice in India. This statement, reported by The Indian Express, addresses a key requirement for foreign medical graduates.

The NMC explicitly stated that simply holding "junior doctor" status is insufficient for these graduates to practice medicine in India, a matter relevant to the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE).

What to watch: Graduates from Georgia and other foreign countries should ensure they meet all licensing requirements to practice.

Editor's note: Accurately conveys the core mandate from the NMC regarding medical graduates from Georgia, though it is quite brief.
