Himachal Pradesh Approves One-Year Internship for Foreign MBBS Graduates
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has directed the state Health Department to allow a one-year internship for eligible MBBS graduates from foreign colleges who attended online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision addresses inconsistencies where some students faced longer internships despite similar academic conditions. The National Medical Commission has delegated authority to states to determine appropriate compensatory training, and the government aims to implement this policy promptly to support affected graduates.
