Resolve Internship Backlog

The recent delays in internship registration for MBBS students in Jammu and Kashmir have caused considerable distress among aspiring doctors, especially those who have pursued their medical degrees abroad.

With nearly 2,500 applications pending for internship registration, the situation highlights the urgent need for streamlining processes within the Jammu and Kashmir Medical Council (JKMC).

Foreign medical graduates are reportedly facing additional hurdles in completing document verifications and other formalities, prolonging their wait to begin internships. This delay not only hampers the professional growth of these young medicos but also affects the healthcare system which stands to benefit from their services. It is imperative that the authorities expedite pending cases, especially when these students have already cleared the mandatory Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE), a prerequisite for practicing in India.
