Intership list for foreign medical graduates ready
Patna: After over 48 hours of protest, the list related to the internship of Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) was signed by the health department on Wednesday.
A large number of FMGs were protesting outside the office of the Bihar Council of Medical Registration (BCMR) in Patna from Tuesday morning, demanding the list related to the compulsory rotating medical internship (CMRI) be released immediately.
CMRI is a must for medical graduates before taking NEET Post Graduate examination. The students were demanding the process related to the internship be initiated soon so that they could become eligible to take the NEET PG next year.
The FMGs went on a protest after the list was released twice and cancelled. One of the protesting students, who graduated from Kyrgyzstan, said the first list was released on April 17 by the BCMR; however, it got cancelled because of a typing error.
Another list was released by the BCMR on April 22, which was nullified by the health department citing a violation of national medical council guidelines as the number of FMGs in the list exceeded the quota set up by the council.
The health department, in the letter, not only nullified the list for the violation but also made it clear that a fresh one would be prepared by it.
Health department additional chief secretary Pratyaya Amrit said the file containing the list was readied on Wednesday, adding, "It will be uploaded within 45 minutes."
