A comprehensive advisory to students planning to study medicine in China is issued by the Indian Embassy in Beijing on Sunday.
“The Embassy continues to receive queries from prospective Indian students as well as their parents regarding eligibility for Indian students who are pursuing clinical medicine programme in China to appear in the qualifying examination conducted by the National Medical Commission of India,” stated the press release. It advised the medical students from India and their parents to see the Gazette Notification dated November 18, 20221, by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
The requirement that international medical students be “registered with the respective professional regulatory body or otherwise, competent to grant the licence to practise medicine in their respective jurisdiction of the country in which the medical degree is awarded and at par with the licence to practise medicine given to a citizen of that country” has been unambiguously stated in Clause 4(b), according to the press release.
The Embassy also informed the relevant Chinese authorities and medical colleges of the situation and requested that they make sure that all Indian students coming to China for clinical medicine programmes receive the necessary instruction, preparation, and support to enable them to meet the aforementioned NMC requirements.
“Any student, who joins for clinical medicine program in China after November 2021 and fails to obtain a license to practice as a medical doctor in China, will be rendered ineligible to appear for Foreign Medical Graduate Examination,” read the release.
The Embassy also answered a question on whether Indian students who complete their medical study in China but do not receive a medical practitioner licence there can work in Chinese hospitals in a position such as “assistant doctor” in order to support themselves and pay off student loans. Before considering possibilities to enrol in clinical medicine programmes in China, the Indian Embassy further urged all potential Indian students to consult earlier advisories and the pertinent NMC regulations.
